Directors Guild

Wider Lens.

Ambition
Convince Hollywood studio executives to hire more Toronto talent.
Audience Love
Hollywood executives have little time for ads
But they make time for industry content. To earn their love, we pivoted the Directors Guild away from being a once-in-a-while advertiser to a full-blown digital publisher.
Idea
WIDER LENS is podcasts, monthly newsletters, online zines, interview series, and in-person events.
