COMPANY
Look is a non-traditional agency with roots in journalism offering an independent creative look at a brand. We grew up in journalism and fashion, with different rules, aesthetics, and timetables than traditional ad people. We believe that craft is a talent, not a budget issue.

And that unexpected solutions come from surprising sources – so we connect with non-traditional artists and partners to bring multiple perspectives to everything we do.
With a portfolio including collaborations with Vogue, Nike, Chanel, Cartier, Louis Vuitton, MAC, Old Navy, Glossier, and Hermès, we merge digital narratives with the real world, creating impactful content and immersive experiences that invite you to Look at the world anew.
