Stun, an L.A.-based entertainment industry content studio, ad agency, and commercial production company, has expanded on several fronts, including a move to new, larger headquarters. The agency has also acquired its first soundstage, bolstered its social media content team, and invested in a new brand strategy firm. The announcements, coinciding with the company’s 18th anniversary, were made by Mark Feldstein and Brad Roth, Stun principals and co-founders.
Stun’s 100-plus employees are now working out of a new location, a custom-designed creative space on two floors of a Wilshire Blvd. building on the cusp of Beverly Hills.
Concurrently, Stun has acquired a 5,000 sq. ft. soundstage in Culver City, just adjacent to Sony Pictures Studios. The new stage, which features a full cyc, lighting grid, dressing rooms, and related amenities, will be utilized by Stun for live action and key art productions on behalf of the agency’s diverse entertainment and consumer brand clients. Stun will also produce its own, original digital online series from the new studio.
In addition, Stun has embellished its social media content team: the company has promoted Galen Newton to the new position of head of digital and social content (from his previous post of director,) and has hired Holly Gray as director, digital and strategic partnerships. The duo will spearhead the 10-person strong team that provides Stun’s clients with full service, digital content engagements across all social media platforms.
Stun has additionally made a significant investment in Blackbird, the brand strategy and business innovation firm helmed by former Viacom head of marketing, Ross Martin. Blackbird’s L.A. office is housed within the new Stun headquarters.
Also, Stun continues to move aggressively in the conception and production of digital and traditional linear content creation. The company is represented by CAA for these projects across all media platforms.
