“To us design was always more than just a beautiful object, it had a story, it had feelings, it had the capability to communicate to people on more than one level..and right then is when I knew we wanted to do something different.”
Seth Grizzlegraypants
Working with BMW we created and produced a collection of media centering around the new all electric BMW i3. We built brand films, a still photography library, social channel videos, and event installation media. The stories shared across these platforms showcase the ways in which premium brands like BMW and Graypants have embraced responsible design across the fields of automotive engineering, architecture, and industrial design.
KP and Craig Brooks developed the creative and produced all of the visual media components.

The man’s a race car driver. In a sweater.
Years of career developing in L.A. and New York have established an urban sensibility that is versatile and savvy.
Loves wife, daughter, parents, scotch, coffee, gin, Hemingway, David Lean, architecture, furniture, film noir, his families expanding Chihuahua empire, bacon, cookie dough, French fries, the ’60 Porsche 356 Roadster (ok, all vintage Porsche’s) and classic Chris Craft boats.
A sharpshooter’s eye for design, with core elements of dignity and diplomacy factored into the algorithm – kontent partner’s founder, director and producer – there’s a lot going on with Craig Brooks.
Diplomat Race Car Design Ninja in a sweater.
Our Lady Ambassador of goodwill, Courtney is that rare bird that likes nothing as much as she likes to help other people realize their potential and their vision. Think Linda McCartney – not Yoko.
Notable for making great impressions and creating perfect experiences for her kontent partners family with grace, savvy and kindness. An invaluable part of a creative team that strives for perfection and results, Courtney enjoys being nice, helping, a great red wine, and Chihuahuas.
Graciously managing the madness of high intensity commercial productions, her kindness can’t be overstated. The skilled handling of complexities (including but not limited to high strung tiny canine cuteness) is more than relevant to kontent partner’s smooth operations. As are kid-sized Snickers bars. More than likely there’s some of those floating around, and most assuredly, Courtney will share.
Charisma and character in the walking, talking form of kontent partner’s Michael Bini, his confidence is contagious and embodies the ideal that Kontent Partners is never without sweeping imagination and high aspirations.
AKA “Grandpa Bini” as reference to a dramatic love-able curmudgeon quality, Michael’s patented “appropriate inappropriateness” always delivers with whip sharp timing and a ricochet pace. Prepare to be exhilarated and entertained. A voracious pop culture consumer and articulate dynamo, Michael sets a pace that disallows seriousness-as-a-bummer. Sure, we’ll get serious about Vanity Fair, vampires, and Perez Hilton, but that’s important stuff. Oh, and popcorn. The man is a fanatic about popcorn.
