About August Hour

Chances are you’re here because something’s not right.  Something’s “f*cked up.” You’ve just been handed some creative content; a video, a photo, a design.  You go to deploy it, watch it, listen to it and it doesn’t work.  It doesn’t look right.  It doesn’t sound the way you thought it would.  Then someone who’s been in your exact position said “that’s f*cked up.  Try unfuckedup.com”

They know what our clients know.  Clients of all sizes call on August Hour to get their projects right.  Whether is a music mix, a video, a photo or a print design project.  Our clients know that the measure of a creative studio is taken not just at the point of conception, but equally at the point of execution.

Right now, at the time of this writing we’re helping a client produce videos for a $10-million project for one of the largest electronics companies in the world.  The videos they were handed don’t work.  Our client called us, we fixed them.  The result, their ten-million-dollar project is on-time and looks right. That client looks like a hero.

So, what do some of our clients say?

WOW…I am speechless!!!!! Seriously – you guys rock, and you just made my weekend and my whole week next week. What talent! Thank you so much for all your hard work and everything to come. Please have several drinks to celebrate – you deserve it.

August Hour has been an indispensable outsourcing tool for our creative agency over the past several years.

August Hour CONSISTENTLY delivers at, or beyond, our expectations. Furthermore, we trust John’s team completely when it comes to client confidentiality. We often bring them directly into client-facing meetings, and represent August Hour as part of our ‘team’. We know that they will add value to meetings, while completely respecting non-disclosure and other privacy agreements at the highest levels.

August Hour has also chosen to make themselves available to us at a moment’s notice, for late night or weekend ‘cram sessions” any number of times. When we find a vendor who is willing to treat our projects as seriously as they would treat their own, we definitely want to make sure others hear about their great work.
