ABOUT THE FOUNDERS
Co-founders Andrew Seth Cohen and Ryan Kieffer bring over two decades of diverse entertainment experience to Confidential Creative, establishing it as one of the industry’s most dynamic and versatile young studios. Prior to their work in Confidential Creative, they amassed impressive accolades, including leading Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony-winning publicity campaigns for behind-the-scenes creatives, launching and selling an entertainment technology startup, and developing projects for production companies with major deals. Their wide ranging work and experience also spans cutting-edge digital activations and virtual experiences for global brands like Molson Coors, Bacardi, Salesforce, and Warner Records; producing the first-ever Metaverse music festival; spearheading TikTok’s first ever Primetime Emmy campaign; and supporting production company business affairs departments.
Cohen and Kieffer’s creative journey began in high school, where they discovered shared interests and a mutual passion for storytelling. Inspired by the early entertainment legacies of their grandfathers—Cohen’s as a music supervisor and television composer at CBS in the 1950s–1970s, and Kieffer’s as a pioneer of Los Angeles’ first Spanish-language radio station—they formed a seamless and fruitful partnership. Upon founding Confidential Creative, they achieved breakout success with viral animated hits like “Chet Porter on Acid” for Los Angeles EDM promoter Brownies and Lemonade and the official lyric video for Maroon 5’s chart-topping single, Memories.
Based in Los Angeles, Cohen and Kieffer continue to push creative boundaries, delivering engaging animated projects that captivate audiences. When they’re not working, they enjoy watching sports, gaming and traveling.
