Creative studios often begin with a familiar origin story: one or two people, a shared desk, a string of long nights. But what happens when the studio is growing, the team is humming, and the work is good? What comes after the thing you set out to build actually works?
That’s the question three founders, Samantha Louise (Versus), Shawna Schultz (Mass FX Media, 38th & Post), and Katwo Puertollano (Rezonate), have been answering in their own ways. Each leads a successful creative business that has passed the ten-year mark. And each has entered a new chapter, one that shifts the focus from creative to purpose, from momentum to meaning.
