As much as we’d like to get into the willy waving, we’d rather keep it all about our heads. After all, that’s the main bit of us you’re interested in. Isn’t it? Our heads have been involved in all kinds of creative work, not just for big games publishers like Capcom, EA, Namco, Sony and Codemasters, but also big ‘other’ companies too, like Universal Music, Little Brown Publishing and Warner Music Group. Uh-oh, it’s getting a bit ‘wavy’, isn’t it? It’s lucky then that we can quickly head that off by saying that we’ve worked with lots of smaller but equally lovely companies too! Rather than sum up every single bit of creative work we’ve ever done, we’ll just say that we do it all. Whatever we’re given, we solve it by putting our heads together. Give us a try. And with that, we’ll wave goodbye.
