Brand narratives have always been the heartbeat of our work—the unseen thread that binds people to brands, audiences to ideas, and dreams to reality. At Takt, we’ve spent years finding the human moments, the messy truths, and the bold visions that elevate a brand from something seen to something felt.

But in an age of AI-accelerated sameness—where content is rinsed and repeated until it’s shiny but soulless—human storytelling matters more than ever. Why? Because it reminds us of who we are. Where we’ve been. And what can be.

And so, we’re thrilled to introduce Takt/Studios, our new branded content agency dedicated to telling stories that move people. Through video production, photography, and animation, we’re here to bridge the gaps between siloed audiences, reignite connection, and create work that leaves an imprint.

The Human Touch in a Machine-Driven World

Though this is a new chapter, it’s not new to us—it’s been in the making since 2021, when our collaboration with Mateo Allen, Founder & CEO of REEVOLVE Creative began. Back then, Mateo worked with Massive to craft our first portfolio reel. What started as one project turned into a creative partnership rooted in a shared belief: that the best work finds its soul in real, human stories.

From there, we built together. Expanding our capabilities. Exploring the edges of what branded content could be. And now, we’re ready to share that work—and that vision—with the world.

“Takt/Studios isn’t just about content creation,” says René Thomas, Chief Creative Officer at Takt and Partner at Takt/Studios. “It’s about creating a space for brands to rediscover their humanity and connect with audiences through shared values and human experience. Every project we take on is an opportunity to show the world not just what a brand does, but why it matters.”

Mateo, Co-Founder and Partner at Takt/Studios, adds: “Storytelling is as old as humanity itself.  It’s our history, our reality and our vision for the future.  The mediums in which we tell stories are a constant evolution, but the fundamental need of telling stories that matter is never-changing.”

 

Spotlight on Our Work

Recently, Takt/Studios partnered with Hagar International on a video project exposing the devastating link between human trafficking and forced scams. Hagar International is a global organization dedicated to the recovery and empowerment of survivors of human trafficking, slavery, and abuse. For over 30 years, they’ve worked to rebuild lives, offering trauma-informed care, education, and economic opportunities to help survivors reclaim their futures.

This powerful campaign sheds light on a growing global crisis, driving awareness and action. It’s storytelling at its most urgent—a call to action wrapped in human truth.

“This project was a reminder of why we do what we do,” says Mateo. “It’s not just about creating compelling content — It’s about using stories to fight for something bigger than ourselves.”

More Than Just Stories

At Takt/Studios, we believe that human-centric branded content doesn’t just deliver narratives – but those narratives build connections, establish differentiation, and strengthen the equity of our clients’ brands. By creating content that reflects authentic, ownable narratives, we help brands carve out their space in the market.

In a crowded digital world, content needs to earn its place in the scroll. It needs to resonate deeply and stand boldly apart. That’s what we deliver: branded content that not only inspires but also drives measurable value, increasing the IP that clients can truly call their own.

When a brand owns its story, it owns its space, says René. “Our job is to create content that doesn’t just exist—it endures.”

 

What We Do

At Takt/Studios, we specialize in the visual and visceral:

  • Video Production: Full-scale storytelling, from ideation to post-production.
  • Photography: Still moments that feel anything but static.
  • Animation: Moving visuals that bring stories to life in unexpected ways.

Every frame, every shot, every second is crafted to connect. To inspire. To remind audiences that brands are made up of people, and that people—flawed, beautiful, and real—are what make the world go round.

 

What’s Next?

This is just the beginning. With a strong portfolio of work and a restless curiosity for what’s possible, Takt/Studios is ready to help brands tell stories that matter. Stories that challenge convention. Stories that connect.
