DNA&STONE is what happens when trust and disruption collide. Born in January 2025 from
the merger of DNA—an independent agency with 26 years of earned results—and Little
Hands of Stone—an aggressively creative, founder-led micro-agency—we exist to break
barriers, challenge conventions, and create work that makes the world jealous.
We are The Creative Agency That Doesn’t Flinch for Brands That Go There. We deal in real,
high-stakes emotion—grief, joy, fear, hope—and embrace the hard truths most turn away
from.
Our core strategic and creative approach is Radical Empathy—deep emotional intelligence
for the consumer, the client, and the business. It’s about killing bias and allowing ourselves
to feel what our audience feels. And taking on the pressure our clients feel as our own, then
turning that into work that moves people and businesses.
DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW
Media isn’t just a department—it’s a force multiplier. It’s where creative ambition becomes
measurable momentum. Our media team doesn’t just place ads—we build moments that
move people, spark conversation, and unlock lasting value.
We bring Radical Empathy into every aspect of media—from understanding the emotional
truths that drive attention to negotiating the kind of value that satisfies both consumers
and CFOs. We’re built differently: an integrated crew of strategists, buyers, analysts, and
storytellers who connect brand goals to human moments.
We thrive in complexity. The landscape is fragmented, the signals are noisy, and consumers
move fast—but that’s where we shine. When others flinch, we lean in.
