Comedy-First AI Ad Agency

An AI-native creative agency that leverages new video generation tools to produce high-quality, comedic, and slightly absurd commercials. The focus on comedy acts as a buffer against consumer backlash regarding AI-generated content.

Why now

The tooling (Reeve, Runway V3, Midjourney) is finally good enough to simulate professional cinematography, meaning small teams can replace massive production sets.

Market gap

Large companies want to utilize AI video for cost savings but are terrified of consumer backlash and 'pitchforks' for replacing jobs. Comedic, intentionally absurd AI videos bypass this resistance.
