Quotes from Evan Horowitz:

“We’re a creative agency that’s all about putting positivity out into the world, connecting positive emotions back to the brands that we work with, and driving more brand love.”

“We’re really focused on connecting brands to culture on the frontiers of social.”

“The brand sets up a presence, doesn’t cost you anything, and then it’s up to you to post. I think the difference really is about the style of the video creation and the type of stories that are told.”

“The brands that are more successful on TikTok enter TikTok with a strategy that ‘s unique to TikTok. What doesn’t work is copy, pasting your Instagram strategy or even your content.”
