Origin Story
Sergio & Leah was born out of friendship, creativity and a random act of kindness. In the fall of 2023, Sergio’s wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. After surgery, she used a special pillow designed for recovery. It changed her life. Sergio was so grateful, he offered to make a commercial for the company. They said yes, so he asked his friend Leah if she wanted to help. She also said yes. The rest is history.
The process was so smooth and the results so great, Leah said “I think this could be a company.” Sergio said “I agree…and can we take a lunch break?” Leah said “Yes, I get hangry when I don’t eat.”
They will work (on full stomachs) with your brand to come up with a video strategy, write scripts, shoot and edit them and hand them off to you to release into the wild. It’s that easy.
