about
Derek Ruddy and Jay Howard founded Switzerland LLC in 2008 because it was time for something different. A place with award-winning, sought-after producers and creatives under one virtual roof, providing quality independent production and management. We’re a production company, not an ad agency. And our expertise lies in three distinct yet overlapping areas: production, creative, business affairs. We believe we do our jobs better than anybody else out there.
Everyone at Switzerland believes in the power of storytelling and the absolute necessity of getting that storytelling out in the world. It’s not where you put the message; that will always evolve. It’s the message you put out. We’re all only limited by the depth and breadth of the idea. It’s not complex. Switzerland makes it simple.
Why ‘Switzerland’? We wanted a name that stands for how we work and get along with almost all types of organizations. We’re not so much neutral, as flexible. And aesthetically, it doesn’t get much better than Switzerland.
