We turn brand truths into Desire

Someoddpilot is a brand-led creative agency in Chicago

proudly independent

FOUNDED AS
A RECORD LABEL

Midwest ethics,
coastal aesthetics

Maybe you’re here because you think your brand has gotten a little too comfortable. Or a little too complicated. Or you feel it simply needs to matter more to the right people for the right reasons.

For 26 years, we've made brands more culturally relevant, more magnetic, and occasionally made entire companies fall back in love with themselves.

Scared brands don’t grow. Let’s take a swing and make something people actually care about.
