we’re the watsons, an award-winning creative collective (with mwbe status from the city and state of new york) and some of the best thinkers—and dogs—in town. we're in the business of building lasting, emotional connections between great brands and the people they benefit.

a creative collective, you say?
yep. when we hung our shingle in 2003, we broke from the conventional agency model in which all clients paid for all services (weirdly unfair) and created a core team of the best art directors, writers and strategists we knew.

from there, we invited our crazy-talented friends in video production, coding, photography, illustration and animation to step into projects, as needed. it’s a model that’s done well by them, by us, and most importantly, by our clients. because it keeps us agile enough to do exceptional work, no matter the timeline or budget.

and there’s this. we watsons have been responsible for client growth across a wide spectrum of sectors. we’ve learned that good brands are both respected for their tangible distinctions and valued for their unique emotional appeal. we know how to uncover differentiating brand insights, how to build competitive strategies, how to drive traffic—and how to continuously infuse fresh thinking to keep our clients on top.
