EXPERIENCE
BLITZ
Most content gets scrolled past without a second glance. Concepts are stale, narratives are boring, and videos often feel like sales pitches.
At Blitz, we’re changing that. We’re driven insane by subpar content and partnerships that don’t quite fit. By collaborating with top athletes, musicians, actors, doctors, and influencers, we tell emotional, powerful, and inspiring stories that engage your audience.
Developing interesting stories that spark curiosity and seamlessly connect with your brand.
We’re a small, creative group of award-winning writers, producers, directors, and agents passionate about creating viral, meaningful content. We work with a wide range of talent to maximize the impact of your partnerships.
WE'LL GIVE IT TO YOU STRAIGHT.
VALUE IS EVERYTHING.
Brands often overpay for subpar sports-branded content. Isn’t it time to find an alternative to paying multiple layers of agencies to produce underfunded, unprofessional content?
Blitz Creative Studio removes these layers, directly connecting brands with elite athletes and top creative resources to produce premium content that resonates. Work directly with award-winning writers, producers, directors, and star talent on projects everyone is passionate about.
Bring your brand to life through beautiful content created by master storytellers with the most influential talent. Each partner we work with has a compelling story to tell. Content today isn’t just about endorsing a product — it’s about creating value and emotional connection. Whether it’s funny, educational, heartwarming, or thought-provoking, our goal is to get your audience to stop scrolling and engage deeply with your content.
THE PROBLEM AS WE SEE IT:
READ MORE
+ ATHLETE FOCUSED
Your diverse interests and life experiences transcend the world of sports, inspiring fans across the world. Your unique stories, curiosity and emotional honesty bring the content to life, meaning, you’re not an interchangeable ‘work-for-hire.’
+ BRAND INCLUSIVE
We find the right, authentic brand partner to enhance our storytelling capabilities through open collaboration.
+ PUBLISHER AGNOSTIC
You own the content, we secure the distribution. Stop giving away your best stories.
As the hardest working talent in the world, you deserve an elite partner to bring your most powerful stories to life through a collaborative, engaging creative process that builds personal brand equity in addition to bringing in serious revenue.
CREATE WITH US
Given today's incredibly large pool of talent, finding the right partner might feel overwhelming. You’re spending a good deal of money for someone to endorse your brand - the last thing you want is for someone to post a video or two, and disappear. We’re experts in maximizing your ROI, and developing strong, long-lasting relationships that are impactful for everyone involved.
