Our Story
Brothers, Geoffrey and Gedidiah Starks are both known and respected for their refined lifestyle perspective and articulate taste in products. Geoff, a menswear designer and Ged, a stylist are fashion enthusiasts, writers, and conceptualists. What were conversations about product ideas for their respective brands, is now a collaborative mission to share their creative super powers for a greater good. “A product is only as good as the message it comes with”- a line from the 2016 movie, Pain Killer inspired the duo to turn their passions for conceptual design and creative writing into a push marketing business. Their mission is to keep brands in-fashion and in front of customers; to be unforgettable, to be iconic.

Our Philosophy
We believe creativity is the most important asset in business; it’s the manifestation of an idea. A viable concept creates a valuable opportunity; the right product brings that opportunity to commercial reality. Without a creative idea, there is no product worth “story-selling.”
Our Culture
Our creative excellence is built on “What If?” This cosmic realm of infinite possibility is our work space. We thrive on imagination, we dream; we have “What If?” moments in our sleep.
