Our History

Influencing the Narrative and Dominating the Zeitgeist

Our leadership position in the industry took hold in the mid-aughts when the FerenComm ushered in a new era of unexpectedly engaging, immersive cable originals, spearheading an industry revolution that forever changed the TV landscape. Those early successes, including the launch of classic dramas like “Mad Men,” “Breaking Bad,” as well as “The Walking Dead” and FC’s breakthrough unscripted work for Food Network and Bravo, including lifestyle titles like “Project Runway,” “Top Chef,” and the entire “Housewives” franchise, led to our recognition as the go-to agency for the promotion of unexpected narratives – titles of all shapes and sizes whose impact shifted perception about storytelling in all its forms and fueled passionate conversation and community. Our slate of thought-provoking shows inspired audiences and were the launching pad for the Golden Age of Television, also known as Peak TV.

Our past and present client roster includes ABC, AMC/AMC+, Apple TV+, Audible, The Walt Disney Company, Amazon’s Prime Video, Peacock, SeriesFest, SundanceTV, BBC America, Freeform, Acorn, IFC, CNBC, Netflix, Hulu, WEtv, STARZ, Bravo, Sundance Now, TBS, truTV, Common Sense Networks, Univision, Realm, Sensical, PBS, Telemundo, and leading producers including wiip and strategic consultancy Magid. We have tackled numerous events from development to execution — manning upfronts, red carpets, junkets, and press presentations at a wide range of industry conferences – from TCA and Tribeca, SXSW and Comic Con, to ATX, ATV and SeriesFest, the latter of which is handled by FC.

The award-winning, beloved titles we’ve nurtured include: “Ted Lasso,” “Better Call Saul,” “The Morning Show,” “Monsieur Spade,” “Poker Face,” “Interview with the Vampire,” “Palm Royale,” “Killing Eve,” “The Snoopy Show,” The Walking Dead Universe, “For All Mankind,” “Orange Is the New Black,” “Hijack,” “The Serpent Queen,” “Party Down,” “Peaky Blinders,” “The New Look,” “Outlander,” “Schmigadoon,” “The English,” “Power,” “Mrs. Davis,” “Dickinson,” “Parish,” “No Ordinary Campaign,” “Mama June,” “Twisted Metal”  — the list goes on and on.
