About us

EX (EE-ECKS) means extra special and powered up. Formed by three marketing vets catching up in an Elden Ring multiplayer mod, EX is a different kind of agency. Structurally flat, limber, engineered around expertise and creativity rather than expense accounts and awards shows.

Our structure enables us to:

• Put client resources toward the expertise they want rather than the fancy office they don’t care about
• Move quickly, bolting onto new and existing projects with ease
• Communicate directly with clients about their needs instead of playing telephone through a million briefs

We actually find it’s easier to nail our deadlines and stay within scope without all that overhead.

Our weekly newsletter is the engine of our operation – an ongoing exploration of where culture is headed that forces us to dig proactively and think concretely. We pepper it with occasional features and deep-dive research reports. (Journalism degrees don’t die, they just become biz-dev initiatives.)
