LET US HANDLE THE BORING BITS.
los angeles - chicago - new york
Welcome to tik & tie…your creative ally.
We help artists, brands & agencies with all business affairs and production needs - from negotiating contracts and clearing rights, to managing brand deals and handling the fine print, we make sure the business stuff gets done right, so the creative work can shine.
We've worked across Hollywood, Chicago and New York, collaborating with creative directors, producers, editors, designers, and talent to keep projects moving smoothly on time, on budget, and on point!
We’ve been in the rooms (and on the Zooms) where it happens and have seen what works (and what doesn’t) when building creative campaigns. We built tik & tie to be the kind of partner we always wanted on our side: sharp, supportive, and solutions-focused.
Let us get your business affairs sorted so you can keep creating.
Our Services.
Pre-production Review
Got fire, animals, or a high-flying stunt in your script?
We’ve got you covered. We’ll review scripts, storyboards, and creative treatments to flag any red lights before you hit "go." From budget planning to casting specs, we’ll help you navigate pre-production with fewer surprises and way more peace of mind.
Draft, Review & Negotiate Agreements
We handle the fine print so you don’t have to. From Non Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), Letters of Agreement (LOAs), to talent agreements & licensing deals, we draft, review, and negotiate making sure every “i” is dotted, every “t” is crossed, and your interests are fully protected.
Licensing images, footage, music, fonts & more!
Found the perfect funky tune, font, image, plugin or footage but don’t know how to use it legally?
We can help you license the assets you wish to use in your creative masterpiece (without you getting into trouble!).
Influencer & Celebrity Talent Negotiation
Have certain someone in mind to be the face of your campaign? Need help protecting your license? We can liaise with big studios, agencies, talent & their agents to lock in rates and finalize contracts.
We can also partner with our 3rd party payroll besties to help process talent paperwork & get them paid!
Intellectual Property & AI Consultation
Can’t keep up with Version 87,342.6 of the latest AI terms? We stay ahead of evolving AI rules and help you adapt by reviewing tools, workflows, and agreements to keep your campaign or production 'tik & tied'.
