These days key political conversation is being had on the internet and through video. Just one video can turn an entire movement in another direction (just ask Sarah Palin about her Katie Couric interviews). While it’s hard to create these moments in a laboratory, at IB5k, we have brought together a confluence of talent that excels at using this new platform to get attention.
Our writers have worked for the Daily Show, our animators break new formats for blue chip advertisers (you don’t want a copy of the same PowerPoint presentation visualization that’s been going around), our filmmakers and editors have worked on mainstream Hollywood motion pictures and our political team has helped win presidential elections.

Using IB5k’s nationwide network, partnered with Obama’s supporter community, we crafted one of the most recognizable, often copied, videos in campaign history — and it was all positive.
