How we met
01
How we met
It started with a drawing of Nic.
Briana would not stop posting about Nicolas Cage. So Noah drew him a portrait and sent it to her, no charge, the way you do when you actually mean it.
She said it was glorious. That was the entire interview. No deck, no five year plan, no positioning workshop. Just a drawing of Nic and two people who meant the thing other agencies put on a values slide.
Loose Cannon Co. did not start as a business. It started as a bit that refused to stop being funny. Then it started making real work. Then it was a company. We kept the bit.

What this actually means
We started an agency to one day run Nicolas Cage's social.
He will be a client. We have decided this. He has not been consulted.
Also, we had nothing else to do.
We named the agency Loose Cannon Co. because the other options on the table were Ben Dover Studio and Seymour Buttz Media. So we went with Loose Cannon Co. instead.
Meanwhile, for you
Until then we aim the same energy at brands tired of looking like everyone else.
