Most agencies
make ads.
We make witnesses.
Stunt Doubler is a full-service marketing agency. The full service includes things other agencies would call a liability.
↓ We probably shouldn't show you this
01Thesis
Advertising interrupts. A stunt gets invited in.
You can buy attention. It's expensive, it's rented, and the second you stop paying it leaves. Or you can do one unreasonable thing in public and let the entire internet explain it to each other for free.
We're in the second business. We're also in the first — because you need both, and because someone has to keep the lights on while we're pulling permits we don't intend to use.
02Services
Everything you'd expect.
And then the other thing.
The visible half
- Brand strategy & positioning
- Campaign creative
- Paid media
- Social & content
- Web & landing pages
- Email & lifecycle
- SEO & analytics
- PR & media relations
The other half
- Publicity stunts
- Guerrilla & ambient installations
- Controlled leaks
- Rumor design
- Stunt logistics and permits
- Crisis prep, for the stunt
- Crisis response, for the other thing
- Deniability
Both halves are staffed by the same people. That's the point.
03Work
We don't show the work.
Ask, and sign, and we will.
Every stunt we've run belongs to the client who paid for it. They would rather the world kept guessing — and the world guessing is usually the point. So there are no case studies on this website.
Sign an NDA and we'll walk you through all of it. The premise, the rig, the numbers. The ones that didn't work, and why.
You'd want the same treatment. You'll get it.
We always keep confidences.
Even after the invoice clears. Even when it would make us look good. Especially then.
04Method
The four moves
01
The premise
We find the one true thing about you that sounds like a lie.
02
The rig
Legal, logistics, permits, insurance, exits. The boring part is what keeps you out of the news you didn't want.
03
The drop
One moment, one place, no warning. Everything before this was rehearsal.
04
The echo
The stunt lasts a day. Its afterlife is the campaign. This is where the paid media you were promised finally shows up.
Anyone can do 03. Everyone underestimates 02.
05What a stunt sounds like from the outside
None of those sentences mention a brand. All of them sell one.
06You have questions
- Is this legal?
- Yes. That's the expensive part.
- Is it risky?
- Yes. So is being ignored, and that one's slower.
- What if it goes wrong?
- Then it goes wrong on purpose. We plan the failure first and the success second.
- Can we skip the stunt?
- Sure. We'll do excellent work, you'll be very happy, and nobody will mention you at dinner.
- Will you show us another client's work?
- Under NDA, yes. Which is exactly what we'll tell the next person about yours.
- Why "Stunt Doubler"?
- The star doesn't jump off the building.
