MCW


Our creative solution engine of the ecosystem, shaping brands, campaigns, art direction, narratives, and visual systems that help audiences notice, understand, and remember.


The Way We Work

We don't separate strategy from craft. The same partner who writes the proposition writes the headline. The same designer who chooses the typeface chooses the colour of the lanyard. We believe a brand is the sum of every decision, and we'd rather make every decision ourselves than oversee somebody else making most of them.

The Sixth


Where the brand becomes a place. The Sixth is our experience curation agency, developing immersive, physical, spatial, and cultural expressions of brand identity. It turns brand stories into environments people can enter, feel, and remember.


The Way We Work

The Sixth begins every project with a question, not a deck. What is this room asking the visitor to do that they couldn't do anywhere else? If we can't answer it in one sentence, we don't take the brief. The studio runs a small number of engagements at a time, by design.

  • Immersive & spatial design
  • Exhibition & pavilion design
  • Retail & flagship environments
  • Public realm & cultural programming
  • Residency & commission management
  • Scenography
  • Technical & lighting design
  • Production management

The Creative Gym


The Creative Gym is our curated community of independent creative talent — a living network of thinkers, makers, artists, directors, designers, performers, technologists, and cultural interpreters assembled around ambitious briefs.


Who It's For

Independent accredited artists, in any creative or production discipline that touches what we do. Members are based across İstanbul, Dubai, Riyadh, London, Berlin, New York and a dozen places in between. Application is rolling. We add limited members a year.

How It Works For Clients

  • When you commission Modernist, you commission over a hundred people in the house and dozens of members of The Creative Gym.
  • The right person for the work is rarely the one closest to the desk — it's the one whose hands are best for the job.
  • We assemble the team that way, deliberately.

Studio Modern


The technical engine behind borderless experience. Studio Modern is our digital event studio for live broadcast, hybrid production, virtual stages, multi-city shows, digital platforms, and content-led event formats. Where the room becomes a broadcast — and the broadcast still feels like a room.
