New York (April 6, 2023) New York-based Prodject LLC (“Prodject”), the renowned creative agency specializing in brand strategy, design and execution for events and content in fashion, music, art, and popular culture, was acquired by The Independents Group, Inc., a global marketing and communications company. Founded in 2011 by Keith Baptista, Jihye Song and Tobias Armstrong, Prodject has established itself as a leading creative agency for high end clients such as Cartier, Prada, Chanel, and Gucci, and is the driving force behind the MET Gala.
