We call it our Studio Model. You’ll call it a win.

Our new vision of collaboration, the Studio Model, cultivates people, capabilities, and partnerships across five core disciplines, which integrate easily into your in-house teams. We balance the flexibility of a full-service agency with deep expertise, strategy, and diverse perspectives.

Setting the new creative standard.

Whether you need the best industry talent available to execute on a singular, specific vision—or imagine, orchestrate, and launch complex, brand-level campaigns—every possible resource is within your reach.

Our space.

In Portland, Oregon, where artisanal doughnuts and craft breweries outnumber people, we have a central place to hang. Our studio is where we collaborate, create, and (occasionally) take breaks to listen to vinyl or play 80’s video games. Equipped with expendable materials and ready-to-go production hardware, it’s a great place for photo shoots and smaller-scale video productions.

Our hybrid work.

As much as we love our cozy little town, parts of our crew are spread around the globe. Some have permanent roots in other parts of the country, while others keep their batteries charged by continuously exploring other countries and cultures. This helps us keep a broader perspective, and be more flexible for our global client base that spans many time zones. It also gives us access to fantastic talent—not just in our little bank off the Willamette, but anywhere in the world.

Our extended family.

In addition to our core tribe, we also tap into an extended one. When we need a specialized expert, we have a local, trusted stable of people in lighting, prop design, wardrobe, locations—you name it. This extends out even further as Fiction Tribe is part of Tribe Global—a network of agencies around the world that lean on each other for inspiration, cultural gut-checking (what casual word in English gets translated to Thai and means something wholly not cool), and a source for trends developing outside of our country.
