Our Journey

ACCOMPLICES’ FIRST HIRED GUN

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

ACCOMPLICES’ FIRST HIRED GUN

After leading the launch and growth of three different venture capitalist funded, technology-content startups in digital media hubs around the United States (New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco) – and managing Fortune 1000 clients, entertainment brands ABC, America’s Funniest Home Videos, CBS, Disney, ESPN, Extra TV, Fox Corporation, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, MTV, VH1, TMZ, Tyra Banks (two start-ups reached acquisition) – Tesa Lau started Accomplices as a consulting company, becoming a hired gun for Microsoft Store (United States, China, United Kingdom). The following years, she secured other high-profile clientele – ranging from large advertising agency Interpublic Group’s FCB, to that music icon you may remember, Seal.

2012

A GROWING NETWORK OF ENTERTAINERS & CONSULTANTS

As the rise of influencer campaigns matured, and Tesa’s network of consultants grew – she expanded the company to include her network of entertainment relationships (inclusive of 500+ influencers with 250MM+ followers) and a consultant network (now hundreds of hired guns around the United States).

2015

ALL IN ON THE BIG BRANDS

Accomplices concepted the first-ever, national, integrated marketing campaign between Pepsi and Caesars Palace. We then began executing several 360-degree, integrated marketing campaigns, live event activations, and content productions around the United States (Belvedere Vodka, Doritos, MGM Resorts, MTN DEW, Moët Hennessy, Red Bull, SLS Hotels, Silverstein Properties / World Trade Center, World of Dance).

2016

A PIVOT TOWARD THE U.S. GOVERNMENT

As the world experienced the effects of a global pandemic, Tesa pivoted Accomplices toward new clients Beam Suntory, Cosmopolitan Las Vegas, and a branch of the United States Air Force (Department of Defense) – focusing on consulting services ranging from creative strategy, branding, website design / development, social launches / channel management, technology integrations, digital marketing campaigns, content productions, conference activations, live events, and nationally-broadcasted hybrid events (virtual meets in-person).

2021
