Take risks.
Counter culture.

Two decades ago we were a small creative collective working with big brands like Burton Snowboards.

Today, we’re makers pushing past market expectations, branding experts working alongside clients who value one-of-a-kind work, and risk-takers solving complex problems with creativity.

In the in-between, we’ve built a team and portfolio that’s gained a reputation for being unapologetically authentic.

Whether you’re here looking for your next ad partner or to make your next career move, there’s one thing we want to make clear about this business—we all have a choice: we can either follow or Defy.

Before we defy, we define.

The foundation of great work is a strong strategy. It’s what guides the courses we take to get clients where they want to go.

We prefer open communication with our clients to learn their businesses, develop relationships with their team, and jot down the small anecdotes that lead to big ideas down the line.

DEVELOPING GREAT WORK REQUIRES TRUST.

We believe an environment that promotes our team’s physical and mental health creates an atmosphere of inspiration and collaboration. So that’s just what we do. Together we’ve developed a flexible workflow that allows us to influence culture from the inside of our office or from the inside of our homes.

Our investment in people grows well outside our workspace. We understand this is all bigger than ourselves, so Defy continues to serve nonprofits and the ad community at large.

You always had a choice. Instead of following, you chose to Defy.

As you’ve come to know from our relationship, we always looked to push beyond limits to help our clients create work that stands out from the norm.

Over the last 12 months, we’ve finally gotten around to focusing this same approach on our own agency.

Moving forward, the agency formerly known as [ 2 one 5 ] Creative will go by Defy.

Our new brand name honors the spirit of our beginnings as an artists collective 20 years ago, and lights an exciting path ahead for an agency that continues to grow and evolve.

Together, we look forward to continuing to defy the conventional, limits, and expectations in 2021 and beyond.
