About UNIT9
UNIT9 is an unusual, uniquely creative organism. We help creative agencies and ambitious brands capitalise on change – identifying the next big opportunity via the union of data, technology and content.
The projects we get involved with require innovation at every level. Briefs reach us at very different stages. Our flexible teams are able to grow them to make them viable. We visualise, concept and prototype to quickly and efficiently get stakeholder sign off.
Our internal process of experimentation is the catalyst for innovation. All Our R&D projects, (successes and failures) in games, prototypes, drone playthings, installations, art pieces go on to inform our creative output and the next round of native advertising, as content.
Our sweet spot are never been done before projects that combine very creative and very technical challenges with brave and ambitious clients.
Over the last year our work has been covered by New York Times, Wired, Mashable, Rolling Stone Magazine, Fast Company, Ad Age, Creativity, PSFK, Luerzers archive, Creative Review and Most Contagious 2013 to name a few.
