About

Everybody likes a good story. And over the last decade plus of writing stories, designing worlds, and making cool stuff for both ourselves and for our clients, we’ve become pretty good at this storytelling thing.

But like all good stories, it starts with the characters…

OUR PROCESS:

We have fine tuned our process and created a formula to ensure that the content we create is both impactful and enduring. Here’s a snapshot of how we do it here at Darkrose:

Step 1: RESEARCH & LEARN

When creating content for clients, the first thing we do is a deep dive into what the client’s core objectives are and then make sure we understand what their target audience’s needs are. How can we best appeal to both?

Step 2: CREATE & REFINE

Our favorite part is always the brainstorming and overall creative process. We put together a concise creative treatment to showcase our ideas and how/why they will resonate with fans of the genre. 

Step 3: ESTABLISH & GROW

Once all of the materials are complete, it's important that they are “published” in the marketplace, whether that be by an established publisher or done independently. What's important is that it is available in major markets so as to establish credibility and legitimacy.
