What We Do
Concept Arts was officially founded in Los Angeles in 1980, eight years after its beginnings in 1970’s London. From the iconic 1985 Teen Wolf poster and She’s Gotta Have It in 1986, to genre-defining key art for The Matrix in 1999, to the groundbreaking 2021 digital campaign for Wandavision, we’ve been a part of some of pop culture history’s most indelible moments. Our agency has grown up alongside the entertainment industry for half a century, and taken part in the evolution of creative advertising since before the Internet. Even as we’ve expanded into the digital space with award-winning social campaigns and 360 executions, we’ve never forgotten our roots. Institutional memory and long-term growth have proved what we always believed: fulfilled people produce quality work. Concept Arts offers every employee multiple avenues for career growth and empowerment within our company. From dedicated culture forums, to mentorship programs, and more, we strive to give each individual the resources they need, and the opportunity to explore their potential.
