Imaginary Forces, LLC (IF) is a creative company that specializes in brand strategy and visual storytelling across entertainment, media, technology and pop culture. Imaginary Forces has studios in Los Angeles and New York.[1] Imaginary Forces derives its name from William Shakespeare’s Henry V: “And let us, ciphers to this great accompt, On your imaginary forces work.”[2]
History[edit]
In 1996, co-founders Peter Frankfurt, Chip Houghton and Kyle Cooper launched Imaginary Forces in Los Angeles. The three met while working at the film production and design company R/Greenberg Associates, that would later be known as R/GA, founded by Richard and Robert Greenberg.[3] On October 31,1996 the West Coast division of R/GA was renamed Imaginary Forces.[2] In 2003, Cooper left Imaginary Forces and founded the creative agency, Prologue.
