They won the Grand Prix Content Marketing Award for a deepfake resurrection of Frits Philips for a PSV/Philips sponsorship campaign, and received multiple nominations at the Best Social Awards, the Netherlands' premier online content awards.Beyond commercial work, the studio takes a distinctly Dutch approach to AI satire, creating deepfake content for TV programmes including De Avondshow met Arjen Lubach and Even Tot Hier, using AI manipulation to comment on current events in a way that's legally compliant, creatively sharp, and culturally resonant.
