About us
CREATIVE PRODUCTION + EXPERIENCES
COTAVATION is an Atlanta-based independent Creative Production + Experiences company helping artists, brands, organizations and original concepts move from an idea into something complete, audience-ready and ready to be experienced. We work remotely, on location and across markets.
Founded by actor, photographer, producer and creative entrepreneur Shakeem Cota, COTAVATION has grown from a visual-production practice into a broader creative ecosystem built around helping ideas become real.
WHAT WE CREATE
Strategy and positioning, photography, film, short-form content, graphics, animation and motion, music and audio, digital and social packaging, websites and presentation, events, editorial coverage, original storytelling and community experiences.
Photography remains central while connecting with a larger production process. We work with private clients, artists, entrepreneurs, businesses, educators, entertainment projects and community organizations.
BUILT AROUND THE PROJECT
Strategy → Create → Activate → Learn. We shape the idea, produce the work, prepare its presentation and activation, then use available audience and performance information to inform what comes next.
COTAVATION can work independently or assemble trusted creative professionals around a project’s scope, timing and needs.
CREATIVE INSTINCT. DATA-INFORMED DECISIONS.
We use available audience, platform, engagement, commerce and performance insights to inform how creative work is developed, packaged and distributed. We can’t promise what an audience will do. We can make sure you’re ready when they arrive.
