1. Their origin story…
Though high-end design has been a core of our focus since day one, we weren’t always operating as an agency. When we started as a production/post studio, we assumed that would be how we’d make our living, though secretly we really wanted to do more experiential work…lucky for us, the balance quickly shifted. Over the last 6 years of operation, we’ve gone from producing spots for agencies to creating immersive experiences for brands directly as their agency.
2. What you’ll find inside:
A table built by one of our team members, made from a 400 year old Ponderosa Pine and a reclaimed fire escape ladder from an old church.
3. The meaning of #agencylife…
A balance of globally recognized work, ample personal life and reasonable compensation.
“Leviathan works at the nexus of design, digital media & interaction.”
