Showing the world that anyone can be an app maker, we created a two-year, global campaign for Android.

Breaking down stereotypes

Too little is known about the creative lives of app makers. And we wanted to make their diverse backgrounds and dedication visible through film.

Android immediately fell in love with our idea, and together, we created a series of films and related content about their incredible community.

Life behind the tech

We selected 11 founders, product managers, designers and developers with unique stories to tell. Our mission was to follow real app makers engaging with their passions and show what they do when they step away from their computers.

#IMakeApps leaves aside the tech and centers on telling the real human stories that bind us all together.

Maker stories

The initial series showed app makers trekking through the mountains of Nepal, scuba diving in South Korea, bringing art to people in New York, robot fighting in Argentina and more.

We’ve now been full time on the road for a total of about 10 years.
