Dispensing low-cost, sticky creative

︎︎︎

Put in a quarter, get an idea


Ok, we might cost more than a quarter, but we’re definitely a quarter of the price. Because at Gumball Machine we believe small brands deserve access to high-end, fun advertising creative without having to break the bank.

So, how does it work?


We’re a fractional creative studio that focuses almost-exclusively on creative development. We operate on a flat-fee, a la carte structure. You come to us with a creative need (headlines, social concepts, scripts, etc.) and bing, bang, boom you get professional ad creatives coming up with your work, not your admin.

Why us?
Great question.

We’ve been doing this kind of work for nearly 20 years, so to us it’s second nature. We’re well-trained in knowing exactly where to focus for best results. We know what’s good, and what’s meh. We know what works and what doesn’t, and we know how to get there in no time flat.

Sully

Our Chief Chewer is Sully. He has spent the last 18 years working at Ad Agencies like 72andSunny, Deutsch, Arts & Letters, Sid Lee, MAL, David & Goliath, and others — on brands like Nike, Google, Apple, Facebook, Coors Light, Starbucks, Honda, and on and on. He has mountains of experience managing and creating ads across all spectrums — TVC, video, digital, content, social, OOH, etc. His background and expertise is copywriting but he dabbles in both strategy and art direction. Sully oversees all the work.


Friends

Our other gumballs include several of Sully’s friends, partners, and former colleagues. These sweet treats include rockstar freelance copywriters, art directors, designers and strategists that are looking to make some extra $$ outside of what they do on a day-to-day basis.
