GANGGANG isn’t bogged down in superficial discussions about diversity, equity and inclusion. Instead, we’re investing in the creative economy directly, paying the culture back with an intentional reparational slant. Creatives of color continue to be underrepresented and underrecognized for their contribution to culture. But we aim to change this. We believe that culture brings humanity together, and so we work every day to protect and promote it, by supporting a city’s makers in new, equitable, revenue-generating ways.
We Put Creatives in Command
We are for the hustlers.
"A city is in a dangerous place when its creatives stop dreaming." - Alan Bacon
GANGGANG can creatively direct anything.

Creative Direction
When our imagination and creative vision are applied to signature projects, consumer brands, institutional organizations, and to the built environment, the end result is delight, awareness, and cultural cohesion.

Transformative Production
We take everyday creative pursuits and transform them into life-changing, brand-altering opportunities as it relates to performing arts, stage production and more. From large-scale production and entertainment to public art programs and artist curation/broker services, our work in this space improves perceptions and cultural relevance.

Strategy + Engagement
We leverage the power of culture to build things in a creative way – plans, ideas, places, surfaces and activities. GANGGANG works closely alongside corporate partners who are ready to recognize their role in this moment, providing strategic guidance in the interest of equity, beauty and culture.
