Micz Media is a creative and communications agency run by a small, disciplined team who grew their skills outside the usual routes.
We're a team that live for unconventional ideas, debating new perspectives and collaborating on our projects in ways that just feel fun and exciting.
We believe this is the only way to grow effectively. We provide businesses and mission-led organisations transparent access to young creative thinkers.
We aim for our people to respond within a business day.
CREATIVE DELIVERY
Motion supervisor on a Minecraft world launch, directing and collaborating with editors, sound and a thirty-plus animation team. The community grew past 65,000 members organically, with over two million Discord impressions tied to in-game actions.
CONCEPT · CREATIVE DELIVERY
A charity very close to my heart, helping me through homelessness. They do an inspiring job of raising life chances for young people across the Portsmouth area, so we gave them a concept for an identity that looks just as inspiring.
360 BRAND DESIGN
Full zero-to-one marketing lead across six weeks: brand kit, messaging, investment collateral, and an immersive site with in-browser 3D and an interactive product demo.
CREATIVE STRATEGY & DELIVERY
Creative strategy, art direction and account leadership for a deep-tech lab: identity, voice, website and always-on ads rebuilt from the ground up. The work passed 25 million LinkedIn views, and a small KubeCon booth returned hundreds of enterprise-qualified leads.
CREATIVE & PPC AD DELIVERY
A seven-part video sprint, fifty-plus assets, and a rebuilt LinkedIn presence for a financial services start-up. When the ad-data said increase, we held the budget and rebuilt the user journey and beat the sector click benchmark.
CREATIVE DELIVERY
For Gone.com, we delivered paid media, email, brand design, local partnerships, event sponsorships, and footfall-focused campaigns for the flagship store.
CREATIVE DELIVERY
Video lead from 2020 to 2023 across broadcast and campaign work. Events across the engagement raised over $100,000 for The Trevor Project.
