What OneTen Creative does

OneTen Creative is a full-service creative agency based in Englewood and Denver, Colorado, operating since 2014 as the embedded in-house agency for DISH Network and its subsidiary brands, including Boost Mobile, Sling TV, and HughesNet. The firm operates on a captive, in-house agency model, co-located with the brands it serves and structured to provide quicker turnaround, deeper brand immersion, and integrated planning relative to an external vendor relationship.

The agency's product surface spans the full creative stack: campaigns and creative strategy, concept development, video production, motion graphics and 3D modeling, art direction, brand identity, copywriting (including bilingual), graphic design, social media, AI creation, digital, print, event, and environmental design, plus illustration. Core technology is human creative labor augmented by standard generative AI tools; the firm operates from approximately 20 publicly identified team members spanning proofreaders, designers, art directors, copywriters, motion designers, project managers, and account supervisors, with broader headcount reported as 51–100.

OneTen Creative generates revenue through professional services delivery to its parent-company brands rather than external client billing, embedding within the DISH corporate ecosystem. Distribution is direct in-house service delivery to enterprise stakeholders within DISH and its subsidiaries; no traditional sales channel exists. Documented campaign outcomes include a 30% lift in unique views and 2.6% conversion lift for the Boost Buddy launch, and 50% production-time reduction, $100k in client savings, and 54% lower programmatic CPA for the Sling TV Spin to Win campaign. The firm's name references the 110° orbital position of the first satellite used to deliver TV to DISH customers.
