ABOUT DEEPLOCAL

Deeplocal is an innovation studio in Pittsburgh, PA that is most known for building compelling experiences that link the real and online worlds and provoke conversation. Deeplocal spun out of the world¹s leading robotics school, Carnegie Mellon, and has been instrumental in shaping innovation in the ad industry. In less than three years, the organization has received awards that include AdAge Small Agency of the Year Northeast, Communication Arts Best of Interactive, One Club Best of the Decade, and Print Magazine Regional Design Award.
 
Employees at Deeplocal share a passion for the creative gadgets they build, and a disciplined work ethic that allows our small studio to produce creative projects that rival those of shops with hundreds of employees. Prior to founding Deeplocal in 2006, Nathan Martin, the CEO, was a founding member of an art group and a touring punk/metal band and spoke, toured, and exhibited internationally.
In its infancy, Deeplocal created the internationally acclaimed Nike Chalkbot (video: http://vimeo.com/11849530) for the Livestrong Foundation. The Chalkbot was a tweet-fed, chalk-spraying hydraulic robot that traveled the roads of the Tour de France printing messages of hope and inspiration about cancer survival. The project launched Deeplocal as an up-and-coming force in the ad industry and an expert in technological innovation.

Deeplocal’s most recent work includes product design, illustration and visual design, branding, and innovation consulting.
