FAQs
How is KSQD different from a traditional agency?
1
We don't think like an agency - we think like strategic partners. Most agencies focus on deliverables. KSQD focuses on what's at stake. We combine journalistic rigor (led by an EMMY-winning CNN correspondent) with experience-driven design to solve high-stakes brand visibility problems. We consult at the executive and VP levels, aligning media strategy with business objectives - not just executing creative briefs.
What types of companies does KSQD work with?
2
We work with CEOs, CMOs, and executive teams at global enterprises, innovative technology companies, and organizations navigating high-stakes brand moments - product launches, CEO transitions, investor presentations, brand repositioning, and critical communication moments where perception determines outcomes.
Do you work internationally?
3
Yes. We've produced work across the US, Europe (including France), and the Middle East. We're experienced in navigating international production logistics, cultural nuance, and global distribution strategies.
What does a typical engagement look like?
4
After an initial audit and stakeholder interviews, we build a narrative strategy, develop the content (brand films, keynote scripts, presentation design, etc.), and execute with cinematic precision. Some clients engage us for a single high-stakes moment; others retain us as ongoing strategic partners through Agency of Record relationships.

It depends on scope and urgency. We like to say we run at the speed of news. We are no stranger to tight turn arounds. We've delivered rush engagements (CEO walk-on videos, keynote design) in under 4 weeks. Full rebrands with video production typically run 3-6 months. Ongoing partnerships operate on quarterly or monthly cadences. If you have a hard deadline, we'll tell you upfront if it's achievable.
Both. Some clients engage KSQD for a single high-stakes event (product launch, CEO introduction, investor presentation). Others retain us as an Agency of Record for ongoing narrative stewardship - quarterly town halls, content production, brand evolution. We adapt to what your business needs.
Absolutely. We often partner with internal creative teams, existing agencies, or PR firms. KSQD can serve as the strategic narrative layer while your team handles other aspects - or we can operate as a full-service partner. We're flexible based on what you need.
Both. We've produced internal transformation documentaries, CEO town hall content, and employee engagement series - as well as external brand films, investor materials, and conference keynotes. High-stakes storytelling is essential regardless of audience.
