A FULL-CYCLE APPROACH TO STORYTELLING

Get the story right. Everything else builds on it.

DuckPunk finds the right story first — then builds it into whatever format your audience needs to see, hear, or read to take action. Most companies do the thinking or the making. We do both.

WHAT YOU CAN HIRE US FOR

“We want to do something, but we don't know what to say.”

We find the story already inside your organization, then shape it for the people you need to reach.

“We have an idea, but we're not sure it'll work.”

We develop and pressure-test the idea before you invest in execution—using tools like storyboards to see whether it works visually—then stay with you through production.

“We've run campaigns before, and they didn't deliver.”

Before you spend on another one, we examine where the last ones may have missed: the story, the audience, the execution, or alignment behind it.

“We want to reach multicultural audiences, but we're not sure how to do it effectively.”

We bring decades of multicultural production experience, including multilingual campaigns that have aired on major networks nationwide.

What Clients Say

“Mellissa and DuckPunk delivered two award-winning Nissan campaigns that made a memorable impact within the younger Asian American community. The quality of work was exceptional, and Mellissa consistently found solutions.”
Vivian Lau GuerreroVP / Production DirectorAmerasia

"It's easy to do business with Mellissa because she is so engaging and approachable — those traits matter when someone has to extract the essence of your business. The direct mail campaign she produced increased our inbound inquiries by more than 5 times. Mellissa and DuckPunk are worth every one of those 5 stars and more!"
Hank OrtizArbornote

“Mellissa listened carefully to what I was saying—and what I wasn't saying. Through a series of insightful questions, she helped me get to the true essence of my project and articulate its purpose in a much more powerful way. It was a level of clarity I could never have achieved on my own.”
