ABOUT

WHY

To be understood is the fundamental human need.  Brands win loyal customers by helping them feel understood and valued. Issimo helps brands tell their unique story in a powerful and profitable way.  We do this through our national award winning TV commercials, animation, and video marketing.

We believe that it is our responsibility to use our creative talents to help your business succeed. It’s what we love to do. We help you discover, articulate, and share your unique “why” story. It’s what we’ve done for billion-dollar corporations and start-ups alike to increase their marketing ROI.

 

HOW

We are wired for what we do. It all starts with people. We’ve attracted people who thrive in a culture built upon our three core values:

bellissimo {beautiful}

Eye catching work that makes your brand beautiful in a TV spot, animation, or web video.

bravissimo  {great}

A wonderful experience with friendly people who live to make you look good

grandissimo   {big}

Big ideas that deliver big results. A work of art with a return on investment

 

We are bilingual. We speak Hollywood and Wall Street.  It’s a synthesis of national award winning creative with ROI-oriented business acumen.  Our rule of thumb: if you can’t make at least a 5x return on what you invest with us, then it’s not a good fit.  We also speak Italian, Spanish, German, Mongolian, Korean, and Jive.

We get to the heart.  We dig deep (some might say interrogate). We ask a lot of questions – the right kind of questions that get us to the heart of what you really need.  Then the messages we craft can truly get to the heart of your audience.

We inspire action.  Film is the most powerful medium for evoking emotion – and emotion is what unlocks behavior, decision-making, and action.  We believe that you will attract more and better customers by broadcasting what you believe rather than trying to manipulate people with gimmicks.

 

WHAT

What does Issimo mean? In Italian, adding “issimo” to the end of a word makes it the best, the ultimate, the superlative. We take what you have and amplify it by adding Issimo.  Issimo is inspired by Italian culture – family, friendliness, style, and of course food.  We cook up delicious visual experiences for audiences to savor.

What do we do? Our focus and passion is visual storytelling.  We bring Hollywood aesthetics to brand storytelling.  This comes in a variety of venues, shapes, and sizes:

  • “Why” stories that inspire internal audiences to believe in and take up the organization’s cause.
  • TV Commercials – local, regional, national, and international.
  • Online video – converting a homepage into a story page with immersive HTML-5 video experiences
  • Broadcast Documentaries
  • Event media – from 3d animations on the scoreboards of professional sports stadiums, conventions with thousands of attendees, to animated retail displays
  • Online video marketing
