    HEAD OF SECURITY

  • As a new brand disrupting the market, we knew our first campaign had to make a significant impact. Dead Pixel was the perfect partner to help us achieve this. From the outset, the Dead Pixel team intuitively grasped our vision. Their ability to manage a complex project with over 30 talents, numerous moving parts, and a tight deadline was exceptional.
