Dear friends- 

This month, we held our first, in-person, all agency holiday party since pre-pandemic 2019. After 22 years of sailing the seas with a name like MOCEAN, we decided to literally cast off from shore and held the event on a yacht in Marina Del Rey. For 3 hours, MOCEAN’s crew circled the waterways that make up the marina, eating and drinking, sharing laughs and hilariously dancing to the theme to White Lotus (played 6 times in a row.) 

As our nautical holiday party was employees only, I’d like to take a moment to express my gratitude for our clients and partners in 2022. This year, we welcomed several new clients including PlayStation, The Cheesecake Factory, Lucid Motors, Niantic and Riot Games Music. I want to thank these innovative and amazing brands for taking a chance on our growing creative shop. Just as importantly, a massively huge thank you to our long-time clients for keeping their faith in us to deliver the movie and streaming trailers, posters, social and brand campaigns that we all love to create each and every day. 

In 2022, we had much to celebrate, as our amazing team of creatives won big at CLIO Entertainment, Golden Trailers, Promax and the Telly Awards. These acknowledgements are a valuable platform for MOCEAN, but an even better podium to recognize our cds, producers, directors, editors, writers, designers, music supervisors, strategists and the remarkable teams that support them. They pour their souls into their creative art every day and I am humbled to call them shipmates and friends. 

I look forward to what lies ahead in 2023 for MOCEAN. Sailing uncharted waters is what has always made this voyage so fun and unexpected. 

Let’s make waves!
