Auteur operates as a founder-led core supported by a curated group of senior specialists we’ve worked with for years. This collective brings together designers, strategists, producers, and cultural operators who join projects only when their expertise is needed. It’s a deliberately lean model that gives clients the best of both worlds: senior thinking at every touchpoint, and the ability to activate world-class capability without the overhead or inefficiency of traditional agencies.
Collectively, they have delivered projects with Absolut Vodka, Bacardi Rum, Grey Goose, Ciroc Vodka, Patron Tequila, Jägermeister, Martini, Vinarchy Wines, Dolly Parton Wines, Heineken, Kirin Beer, Red Stripe Beer, Bulmers, XXXX, Miller, Molson Coors, Peroni, Lipton, Red Bull, Apple, Nike, Google, Unilever, Kellogg's, Airbnb, Adidas, Alexander McQueen, Virgin Mobile, Stella McCartney, Levi's, The North Face, Sephora, Farfetch, Sony Music, Charlotte Tilbury, Ksubi Denim, Globe Skateboards, Live Nation, Swarovski, David Yurman, Harry Winston, Maybelline, The Row, Phillips Contemporary Art & Jewelry, XPRIZE, Volvo, Yahoo, Havaianas, Westfields Retail, Renault, C3 Presents, Global Radio, Lend Lease, 3 Mobile, Gaia Amazonas, Hit!
