As we power down the gear (and ourselves) for the long weekend, we’re taking a moment to reflect on what we’re grateful for.

To the incredible tribe that is Merit/Andrew — past and present — thank you for 23 years of talent, grit, and creativity. You’ve helped build something real, something we’re proud to put our name on.

To our clients, thank you for trusting us with your stories, your challenges, and your vision for what’s next. Turning ideas into something cinematic is a privilege we never take for granted.

And to our families and friends — the real support crew behind the scenes — we’re endlessly grateful for your patience, encouragement, and belief in what we do.

Wishing everyone a warm, restful Thanksgiving.
Take a moment, look around, and soak it all in — there’s a lot to be grateful for.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at M/A. 🧡

Jason Rapp. The Rappopotimus. The Render Wrangler. The Admiral of Animation. A pixel-pushing legend who's been bending light and time since Cinema 4D v1.0. He's been our Head of Design & Animation since 2010--crafting magic by day in the studio, animating with Starlink in the desert by night. Teamwork making the dream work for 15 years. Lookout Stag Bar, it's his birthday and he's got a lot to celebrate. So y'all raise a Cactus Cooler & Tito's to the blue collar creative who gets it done with little fanfare. We love you, pal.

Birthday shoutout to the absolute legend, Caroline Scott! 🎉
Former mascot Tuffy the Titan, dubbed "nails" by Robert Mondavi, and once yelled at by Jane Lynch (proudly). Today, she’s our badass partner and Head of Production at Merit/Andrew — and somehow finds time to coach roller derby, captain boats, blast classic rock, and wage a lifelong war against ketchup.Fun fact: she worked nights at Pottery Barn Kids to help launch this crazy dream with the Fleming Bros. We’ve got a lot to celebrate. 🔥

Throwback to 2010 when we shrunk Rob Riggle with lasers to live inside an LG phone as a personal T-Mobile concierge. The catch? Painful lasers. The reward? Endless apps and all the AC/DC you can crank. Ah, simpler times—when HI (human intelligence) ran the show. 😆📱🔥 ?

to the 2018 Don’t Drive Intexticated PSA campaign we created for AAA. Filmed on LA’s 710 Freeway, we built on decades of Don’t Drive Intoxicated messaging to draw a powerful parallel between drinking and distracted driving.

The result? A major PR win for AAA and a deeply rewarding project for our team. 🚗📵

Happy Holidays. Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah. Happy Festivus!

Whatever you celebrate, we made you an unpaid advertisement for a new fake product we think you’ll want–but can never have. It’s our way of saying thank you for being our friends, collaborators, partners, clients, and future unsubscribers.

May your Airing of Grievances be cathartic and your Feats of Strength victorious!

On break from a recent production in San Francisco, Jake had the opportunity to pursue his academic research at a facility on Pier 45. With a chili cheese dog in one hand and a sampling of Canadian coins in the other, he tapped into an antique video portal that would provide key insights on a subject close to his heart. These explorations and learnings will soon manifest into an unprompted diatribe about his findings. These "bursts" of information can be informative, intoxicating, and completely unwanted. Got any good "Jake Burst" moments you'd like to share?

Our studio aligns strategy, creative, production and post all under one roof. From national omni-channel campaigns to small "one-off" projects, we plug-in where our clients need us. Hard working. Fun. And easy to work with. That’s the way we’ve been doing it since 2002.
