Why Entertainment?
We live in an entertainment age. There has never been a better time in the history of the world for consumers or creators. The barriers of entry have come crashing down, and so has the cost to create and consume. With hundreds of video platforms, music streamers, gaming platforms, OTT/TV networks, and more – consumers are constantly hungry for more entertainment. This means the opportunity to create entertainment that incorporates visuals, videos, audio, and music grows daily. It also means competition is fierce and the business of development and delivery can be complicated. No worries, that’s what we do. Email us, and let’s talk about how your dream project can become a reality.

Music matters
Videos need music. Explainers need music. Movies need music. Podcasts need music. Advertising needs music. TV productions need music. Listeners need audio and music to feel emotional connections. The growth is stunning, and there it’s not slowing down
The future is animated
2D Animation
Animation actually dates back to 3,000 BCE! Animation in one form or another has delighted audiences all the way through the Silent Film era and then exploded in 1914 with GERTIE THE DINOSAUR (considered the first cartoon to feature a character). Here at SJM, we are focused on producing animated entertainment and have begun development on multiple projects, including a channel for adult lovers of cartoons. We have chosen Adobe Creative Cloud/ Character Animator as our partner workflow. We believe there is a huge opportunity to recorded music properties paired with animation and will be showing the world our first vision of this in 2019. Animation has the ability to tell emotional stories while remaining evergreen content. If you watch Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, it holds up today! You’d be challenged to find another film from 1937 that you could say that about. That’s magical, and we intend to be a part of that proud history going forward. And remember, all animation needs audio, and specifically music!
Let's get real
Marketing
We have experience in over a decade of successful marketing; but, we’re not for everyone. We’re not cheap, and we are picky about who we work with. We are disruptors. We don’t do cheesy “SEO-follow-competitor” stuff, and we certainly won’t be a part of spamming email or text. We know that metrics are important, but can lie. We believe in the written words, shorter video, and entertainment advertising. We believe in creating longterm customer relationships, if you are just about gaining a user count, we’re not for you. We cuss, we excite, we provoke. Do you want safe “Growthhacker marketing?” We’re not for you.
If you have the budget, we’ve got a deck.
We’ve taken cannabis software companies national, strategy consulting agencies and Futurists global. We’ve shaken the Facebook gaming ecosystem and helped small businesses grow over 200%.
We specialize in marketing plans, video editing, creative direction, business development, targeted advertising, ands social media campaigns.
