WE TELL THE STORIES OF ARTISTS

We help creators turn passion into presence with storytelling that cuts through the noise and campaigns that feel like conversations, not clickbait.

Our secret? We’re obsessed with the why behind your work. And we know how to turn that into content people actually care about.

Based in the SF Bay. Telling stories everywhere.

EC2 Studios is a creative production and digital strategy studio built for artists, makers, and the kind of brands that still believe in craft.

what we do

Digital marketing strategy

We don’t do empty noise. We do intentional, story-first strategy that works across every platform you use (and a few you haven’t thought of yet). It’s not just content; it’s a plan with a purpose.

creative production

From social shoots to short films, we bring ideas to life with just the right mix of taste, tempo, and a touch of “whoa.” We handle the full production process — treatments, timelines, edits, you name it — and make it look (and feel) easy.

collaboration

We’re with you from the spark of an idea to the final upload. No ghosting. No black boxes. Just the kind of collaboration that feels like a creative partner, not a vendor.

consulting

Just want expert eyes on your idea? Need a gut check before you go big? We offer project reviews and creative consults to help refine your vision. No full-scale shoot required.

HOW WE WORK

It all starts with the story.

Before we hit record or write a strategy doc, we dig deep on what makes you you. Every client relationship starts with story development because what you say and how you say it matters more than ever.

Then we move through a three-part framework that keeps things simple and effective:

  1. Story-led mindset: This is your differentiator. We help you articulate your POV in a way that’s real, resonant, and impossible to scroll past.

  2. Strategic foundation: We build your plan around clarity, not chaos. Our approach works for Fortune 500s and first-time founders alike, and it's designed to scale with you.

  3. Creative with impact: Everything we produce has a job to do — whether it’s building awareness, driving action, or just making someone feel something. (Ideally all three.)

TL;DR?

We blend heart, brains, and taste to help you make things that matter. And make them matter to other people.
