History
Mistress was founded in Venice Beach in February 2010 with five partners: Christian Jacobsen, Damien Eley, Scott Harris, Blake E. Marquis and Jens Stoelken.
Mistress’ work has been covered widely in the press, especially their campaigns for Mattel’s Hot Wheels in which race-car professionals performed stunts on life-size re-creations of toy Hot Wheels tracks (V-Drop, Double Loop, Corkscrew etc.) at the ESPN X Games, the “Fearless at the 500” event at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and for The World’s Best Driver, a feature length web film. The stunts set Guinness World Records and won four Lions at the Cannes Advertising Festival in 2013, one gold and three silver.
Mistress has co-founded Neato, a collegiate marketing agency run by former Red Bull marketing executive Mike Poznansky. In 2014, the agency also co-founded Mistress.tech, a software agency in Hamburg, Germany with the German software developer Freiheit.com.
In 2011, Mistress was named an Advertising Age Small Agency of the Year, winning a Gold award.
