05 — The Math
Agency team, contractor price.
A senior, agency-grade team for what one freelancer costs. Same money, three very different rooms.
THE FIT CHECK
Five questions. An honest answer. We’ll tell you if a pod is wrong for you.
A pod isn’t the right move for every brief. Sometimes a freelancer is cheaper and faster. Sometimes you actually need an agency. We built this so you’d know before you booked the call. No score is hidden. No fake “you scored 8/10” energy. Five questions, three possible answers, our honest read.
5 steps
Five questions. We score it honestly and tell you whether a pod, a freelancer, or an agency is the right shape — even when that means not us.

Noah kept the thread tight across every channel. Strategy, scripts, social, delivery. 3.75 billion impressions, and the work never split into pieces.
The questions we get before the call — answered straight.
No. An agency sells you a department. A studio sells you a team. We’re three people and a bench. You’ll know all of us by name in week one.
A freelancer is one craft, one capacity. A pod is a CD plus two creatives plus production. A freelancer is great for a single deliverable; a pod is built for the months where you need a team.
Yes. We’ve embedded with US shops as the “Bangkok studio” on the org chart. Your brand, your client, your credit. Zero ego.
Two weeks to onboard, three weeks to first ship. The first month is intentionally tight — brief intake, voice calibration, ritual setup. Real output starts in week 3.
Yes, through the bench — editors, animators, illustrators, photographers. Same Bangkok cost base, international craft. Booked through the pod, not separately.
Standard work-for-hire on delivered assets. NDAs welcome. We keep portfolio rights via a case-study clause you can negotiate. Nothing we make for you leaves the engagement without your say-so.
After the first three months, it’s month-to-month with 30 days’ notice. We’d rather you cancel than stay because of a contract.
Because the talent here is excellent and underpriced relative to the work it does. Because the 12-hour gap to the US is a feature, not a bug. Because I live here, and the studio is built on people I trust in person.
START
Tell us the shape of the problem.
The best engagements start with a 20-minute call. Not a discovery process, not an RFP — just you describing what’s on your plate and us telling you whether a pod is the right shape for it. If it’s not, we’ll say so.
Founding offer
Two founding-client slots open.
Lock $12k/month for 12 months in exchange for case study rights. Closes when both pods are full.
