What - Mustache - does

Mustache is an integrated creative agency headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, founded in 2010 by John Limotte, who continues to serve as CEO. The agency offers content creation, social media, earned media, and experiential marketing services, with a stated heritage in production and post-production that it calls a "maker spirit." It serves enterprise and mid-market clients across the food, health, tech, and entertainment sectors, with publicly featured work including an integrated Super Bowl campaign for Monday.com, content and social campaigns for Grammarly, and a social campaign for Netflix.

The agency's core technology is creative production and post-production craft rather than a software platform; it does not disclose proprietary tools, APIs, or AI/ML systems. Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven engagements typical of creative agencies, with no disclosed pricing models, recurring SaaS-style contracts, or unit economics in the public material. The company markets itself primarily through its website portfolio and case studies, and sells through direct client engagement.

Since 2022, Mustache has operated as a wholly-owned unit within the Daniel J. Edelman Holdings network — a global communications conglomerate — which provides brand credibility, access to broader resources, and cross-sell potential. Within the parent, Mustache functions as the creative/maker-led agency, distinct from the parent's PR and communications roots. The company employs 51-100 people, has no disclosed revenue or funding data, and reports no AI capabilities, patents, regulatory actions, or M&A activity beyond the 2022 DJE Holdings transaction.
