About IDEAS
i.d.e.a.s. was created in June 2001 through a management buy-out of a unit of the Walt Disney Company. The i.d.e.a.s. team has played key roles in creating video, film, multi-media, online interactive, and immersive experiences for Disney as well as a long list of national clients. In fact, the i.d.e.a.s. staff aggregates over 300 years of Disney and entertainment industry experience. We have brought our central premise that powerful stories create powerful experiences to a diverse collection of clients and audiences via almost every delivery platform imaginable – from print to broadcast television, from multi-screen surround theaters to new immersion-based destination experiences.
