About Eyestorm Creative
Eyestorm Creative is an independent creative advertising agency and production studio based in Los Angeles. Founded in 2005 as Eyestorm Productions, the company combines cinematic storytelling with strategic marketing for video games, entertainment and consumer technology brands. It adopted its current name around 2017–2018 as its offering expanded into broader brand campaigns, user acquisition and performance marketing.
The studio brings creative strategy and production together, developing campaign concepts and carrying them through live-action filming, computer-generated imagery, gameplay capture and post-production. Its work spans trailers, commercials, original branded content, interactive experiences and social media assets. Production capabilities include CG modeling, rigging, texturing and look development, alongside animation, compositing, editing, sound design and color grading.
Campaigns across platforms
Eyestorm develops creative for mobile, PC and console games, with campaigns addressing user acquisition, player engagement and retention. Its performance marketing work includes assets tailored to Google, Meta, YouTube and TikTok, supported by attribution and platform performance data. App store creative extends this approach to icons, screenshots, storefront design and preview videos.
A substantial part of its gaming portfolio comes from collaborations with Supercell. Work for Clash Royale has included live-action commercials, 2.5D animation and localized campaign assets in more than 19 languages. The studio has also produced promotional and marketing work for Clash of Clans and Hay Day, spanning trailers, storefront presentation and acquisition campaigns.
Production background
An early milestone was THX’s Amazing Life, a fully CGI theatrical branding trailer commissioned in 2007. The project brought the studio’s visual production work to cinema audiences and subsequently appeared on major home entertainment releases.
Its wider portfolio includes promotional work for Electronic Arts, Ubisoft and other entertainment clients. Beyond gaming, Eyestorm serves film, television, streaming, music, consumer hardware, audio technology and lifestyle markets, applying its combined production and advertising capabilities to both brand storytelling and measurable campaign objectives.
