“Moment Factory wouldn’t be where it is without our partners and collaborators. We thank them for their continued talent and support” expresses Co-Founder and Executive Creative Director Sakchin Bessette.
Fast Company’s recognition helps endorse the studio’s mission statement, “we do it in public”, an ethos that has been inspiring innovation for over 20 years.
“We’re honored that Fast Company is awarding us for our work in live events. Live events is where we come from. Times change, technologies change, but the basic human need to gather, connect and share in the physical world remains the same. That’s why it’s Moment Factory’s mission to keep doing it in public for years to come” concludes Bessette.
