Area/Code

Area/code takes advantage of today's environment of pervasive technologies and overlapping media to create new kinds of entertainment. Games and media define imaginary spaces that we enter into and explore. Area/code highlights the connections between these imaginary spaces and the world around them.

Area/code works with advertising agencies, media firms, networks, universities, and large consumer brands. Clients include: Nike, Disney Imagineering, CBS, Nokia, MTV, The Discovery Channel, A&E, The History Channel, JWT, Cramer-Krasselt, Deutsch, SS+K, and the Carnegie Institute / Girls Math and Science Project.

Projects have been awarded at the Clios, the One Show, OMMA and the Future of Marketing Summit. Area/code and its work have been covered in the Wall Street Journal, Creativity, The New York Times, Businessweek, The Chicago Tribune, MTV, Ad Age, and some of our favorite blogs including boingboing and PSFK.

The company was founded by Frank Lantz and Kevin Slavin.
