There’s a musical motif that underpins the whole narrative of Netflix’s hit show La Casa De Papel, ‘Bella Ciao’. It’s a 19th century Italian protest folk song that became an anthem of the anti-fascist resistance in italy during WWII. In the show the song sums op the motivation of El Profesor; Resistance.

We brought this feeling of resistance to life again with Becky G with a healthy dose of celebration to mark the fifth and final season of the series.

Starfish is beaming with pride to have had the opportunity to collaborate with Harry’s on their annual Stride With Pride campaign. Starfish celebrated the stories and journeys of artists, activists and leaders within the LGBTQIA+ community in the US and abroad, through a series of interview videos and animations highlighting the places that shaped their Pride journeys and stories. 

Alongside the single, HANA teamed up with Starfish Projects, co-producer / designer / longtime collaborator Alabama Blonde and Bankrobber Projects to create and release the official ‘So & So’ music video.

League of Legends is one of the most played games in the world. Verizon shares this passion for gaming and wanted to announce their arrival to the gaming world to avid League fans across the globe. Starfish was selected to help Verizon showcase their commitment to gamers, by producing a :60 video in record time (including original music pulled from beloved sounds found in the game), tapping deeply into LoL’s lore and highlighting the unsung heroes of the gaming community, paying homage to the scale, energy and passion of the original event.

Our Sibling agency, Bankrobber, put together a remix of this psychedelic soul classic that, 50 years later, eerily reflects both the growing unrest and the painful uncertainty of our times. We worked closely with Bankrobber and our team of creatives to put together this visual presentation of our times and the time of the original song’s release. Round and around and around we go.

Visible and Madwell tapped Starfish to help create a series of colorful, fantastical worlds for their motion spots, each stranger and more wonderful than the next—and unlike anything else in the telecom space.The array of whimsical aesthetics carried over to a photoshoot for additional social content, rounding out a campaign that put Visible’s sense of play and possibility up front. In other words, we made ads that don’t feel like ads for a phone company that doesn’t feel like a phone company.

Starfish helped this unconventional coconut water develop their “Suspiciously Good” campaign concept, then brought it to life with a too-good-to-be-true Brooklyn bodega stocked with preposterous products.

We pushed the concept even further by tapping Sharon Van Etten for a custom cover of Elvis Presley’s “Suspicious Minds” and staging a pink-hued product shoot to accompany the campaign launch.
