Think Ahead Studios

Think Ahead Studios was established in 2015 as the commercial video production, animation and visual effects studio of Indianapolis marketing agency TrendyMinds. Its work brought together live-action filmmaking, animated content and post-production for commercial campaigns, corporate communications and public institutions.

The studio's capabilities included commercial and corporate video production, 2D and 3D animation, motion graphics and visual effects. Editing, sound mixing and color grading supported the finishing of those productions. Its output ranged from explainer animations and corporate films to branded commercials and broadcast spots, serving organizations across healthcare, life sciences, technology, manufacturing, energy and financial services.

The studio emerged alongside an expansion of its parent agency's downtown production facilities. Between 2015 and approximately 2020, Think Ahead Studios was marketed as a distinct creative studio brand and appeared in regional advertising directories and national video production indexes. This public identity distinguished its film and animation work within the broader agency business.

Following growth investment in TrendyMinds, the agency consolidated its specialized offerings under the TrendyMinds brand. Think Ahead Studios ceased operating as an independent public-facing label, and its dedicated website began redirecting to the parent agency's website. The production facilities and talent continue to support TrendyMinds' national marketing clients as an internal production studio. The studio's 2015 establishment is distinct from the parent agency's founding in 1995.
