What Pinch Creative does

Pinch Creative is a privately held immersive design studio that provides experiential design, environmental design, scenic design, lighting design, graphic design, motion graphics, interactive demo development, and full-service event production for enterprise clients. The studio operates from offices in New York and Glendale, California, and is organized as a single integrated creative offering rather than a modular product platform, with services spanning concept, design, and execution across physical and digital brand experiences.

The company's revenue model is professional services, with work delivered on a project-by-project basis through direct client engagement; no pricing is publicly disclosed and prospective clients reach the studio via website contact forms, email, or phone. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-enterprise, and the go-to-market motion is sales-led, relying on the visibility of its high-profile portfolio and referrals—particularly through a formal sister-agency partnership with Salt Productions, which handles physical production and execution of experiential designs under a collaborative operating model. Customer segments center on global enterprise brands and entertainment/media companies (streaming services, broadcast networks, film studios), with named clients including Netflix, Amazon, lululemon, Disney, Fox, Twitch, Red Bull, Google, the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Committees, Upstart, and the Contemporary Jewish Museum San Francisco. The company is led by Co-Founder and Managing Partner Lindsey Wilde Titus alongside a senior bench that includes a Managing Director, Executive Creative Director, VP of Operations, and VP of Finance. No AI/ML capabilities, patents, funding events, or acquisitions are disclosed in the available data.
