At Maven, we pour everything into creating compelling stories because we know how much our own story defines us. Ours is a story of detours, career pivots, and the wild ride of building a family and a business at the same time, all to get back to the creative work we were meant to do.
Taking that leap wasn’t easy. We know a lot of you understand that feeling. That’s why we’re building a culture rooted in community. From the studio to the set, we are here to support one another, whether you’re a client, crew member, talent, or friend. We are all in this together.
Our story is still being written. We’ve come so far from where we started, and we’re still learning every day. If you value storytelling as much as we do, we want to know you. Let’s talk.
Maven is live in Miami! We’re thrilled to announce Tropical Chevy as our newest dealership client.
With a storefront as vibrant and full of life as Miami itself, we’re producing a vertical series and promotional content that match that energy. Starring the dynamic duo Sahai and Sherren, and Tropical Chevrolet’s very own Finance and Marketing Director Yesenia, this one is already something special.
Follow along @tropicalchevy , you don’t want to miss what’s coming!

37 million reasons to keep telling better stories. Six months of working with Power Ford translates to 37 millions impressions and over 12,630 new followers!
While trend-based content might get you a quick spike in views, strategic storytelling is what builds a loyal brand legacy. That’s exactly why we launched The Power Line, an original, 14-episode scripted series that’s generated over 400,000 organic views across platforms.
Instead of solely pushing traditional ads, we wove Power Ford’s core messages into relatable, entertaining storylines. Whether it’s showcasing what it is truly like to work at the dealership, highlighting the ease of their service department, or building up impressions for Truck Month, we focus on narratives that resonate with real people.
We are incredibly grateful for the trust Power Ford has placed in us over this past half-year. Here is to driving more growth and continuing to tell great stories together!
Today we are celebrating an amazing Director, Derek!
If you’ve ever been on set with him, you know Derek brings a distinct vision to every project and knows exactly how to bring it to life. His dedication to film is woven into everything he does. From amassing over half a billion views across 100+ music videos, to directing and writing scripts for many of our clients, he is constantly elevating our work.
But beyond his impressive resume, it’s his personality that makes him so special. Originally from New York and now thriving in LA, he’s a guy of many talents, including being a nationally ranked snowboarder in his teens and a reliable dog-sitter.
We are so grateful for your talent, your teamwork, and your friendship. Help us wish @derekpike a happy birthday!
Twenty million views, 47 episodes, and a creative team that doesn’t buy into algorithm hacks.
The Showroom was built on original, scripted storytelling. No trend-chasing, just consistent work rooted in a genuine belief that our audience deserves content worth their time. The reward for that consistency has been averaging over 425,000 ORGANIC cross-platform views for each episode.
With Episode 50 on the horizon, arriving right in time for Camino’s own 50th anniversary, we’re proud to share this milestone with the clients, partners and talent and audience who’ve been with us from the beginning. Here’s to the next 50!🎉 👏🏽 @caminorealchevy

We took the full Maven operation to Belmont Shore Beach in Long Beach for a complete promotional commercial shoot featuring some of the best of the SoCal Chevy lineup.
None of it happens without the right people saying yes. A huge thank you to the City of Long Beach Filming Department and the Marine Safety Division as well as TMI Traffic Management for making the location possible, to the wind surfers who shared their beach with a full production crew- and gave us some pretty great production value, and most of all to our talent Sherline and Craig- and wonderful crew, who took every gust, reset every take, and delivered on every take. 🎬

For our last shoot of 2025, we helped SoCal Chevy and Mattel pull up for the community, donating toys to families at the YMCA of Anaheim and the Boys & Girls Club of the LA Harbor.
None of this would have been possible without our amazing cast, crew, and partners! Thank you to the wonderful team at @mattel , @thematteltoystore , @bgclaharbor and
@anaheimymca for welcoming us in to share some holiday cheer.

This was our first full year of working with Apple Sport.
A huge thank you to our crew and our star, Alexis. Whether you’ve seen her superb dance moves, spot-on comedic timing, or the way she brings our skit scripts to life, your support has meant the world to us.
This year, we continued our series “Here at Apple Sport,” shining a spotlight on the charismatic and talented teams at Apple Sport Ford, Chevy, and Imports across both sales and service. Through this series alone, we reached over 1 million views, helping drive meaningful traffic and discovery across Apple Sport’s digital platforms.
Across all platforms, the Apple Sport community grew to 130,000+ followers, with organic social traffic up more than 350%, since we began our work with them.
We’re excited to keep creating with Apple Sport in the new year!

Another incredible year with our longtime clients at Camino Real Chevy! We’re grateful to continue our work with this inspiring crew, especially, Anna, Jessica, and Sofia, who are the heartbeat of our “Showroom” series.
Together, we set out to showcase more than just cars; we wanted to capture the spirit of what it feels like to walk into Camino, turning those moments into stories you can feel.
If you’ve caught our skits or are in on the jokes, you already know these three light up every scene.
Huge thanks to our amazing talent and crew, because of all your hard work (and a little fun), Camino Real Chevy has now surpassed 300,000 followers and reached millions of viewers across all platforms. Looking forward to the new year!
