ephelants was founded in New York City in 2012 by Jay Schweid, a multidisciplinary creative strategist who had spent years working across entertainment, culture, and business. He kept seeing the same problem: exceptional talent existed everywhere, but it rarely worked together. Production people didn't talk to marketing people. Technology teams built in silos. The best results happened when someone connected all three and held the vision across all of them. ephelants was built to make that connection permanent.

The name is a nod to elephants: intelligent, loyal, and known above all for memory. Memory of what was promised. Memory of what the work was built to do. Memory of who the client is and where they're going. Memory is what lets you see what's coming.The spelling is wrong on purpose. Everything else is very much right.
