ABOUT US
MAMAG is a creative studio and media company founded by Sylvia Zakhary in 2016.
The year is 2016 and our founder is asking if the 16mm needs to be refrigerated. In 2023, Inc. Magazine will recognize her as one of the world’s Top Female Founders.
Recognized by AdAge as the 4th Fastest Growing Agency and named a Top Ten Storyteller to Watch by Variety, MAMAG operates as both a creative incubator and strategic production partner for visionary talent, global brands, and institutions.
To bypass industry gatekeeping at launch, our founder famously created "Keith Morris"—a fictional white male CEO whose alias secured our first major deals. Evidently, white guys get faster email replies ;)
A decade later, MAMAG continues to challenge conventional wisdom, combining commercial infrastructure with artist-first storytelling.
From original film and TV development to high-concept campaigns, we champion underrepresented voices to turn modern media into enduring cultural artifacts.
MAMAG is headquartered in Los Angeles.
