Case study
Five years behind Young Mantis. He was the face on camera. The concepts, the brand, the strategy and the deals came from our team.
Five years of concepts that traveled, a brand people could name, and being on six platforms at once in early 2022, before anyone called that a strategy. When we started he had around 800 YouTube subscribers. By September 2026 he had 985,188 followers across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X and Snapchat.
The concepts, the creative strategy, the joke writing and the brand integrations. The lane and the look. The website, the merch and the game. The brand deals. We executive produced the big moments. He performed them better than anyone could have.
Best seats in the house (68.8 million views on one reel). The DoorDash x Nike Tech campaign (75 million plus impressions across the campaign). The fake fast food series, Shrek Beef and Sexyy Red Lobster (50 million plus). Five Guys One Cup (25 million plus in under a day).
TickPick: we built the concept and the strategy, and it ran for three years of renewals and more than 250 million views across two and a half campaigns. Kalshi: signed in early 2024, before most people knew the name, 13.8 million plus views. A sponsored free throw live stream that pulled 11.9 million views and 32 pieces of content from one night.
He hit 100 free throws in a row, and we told him not to post it. We turned it into a live event sponsors could buy into, with a Kalshi market people traded on in real time. Then we built a free throw game for his site: more than 3,000 people played it, and 20 in a row unlocked a merch code.
Young Mantis is the talent. The brand was built with Ames Create, the creative studio founded by Brandon Ames.
For the right one. It is slow, deliberate work, which is why we do it for few. Start here.
