ABOUT THE OXCART TEAM
Oxcart genuinely represents the future of the creative industry. They have no offices. They work as a decentralized, multi-disciplinary collective on specialized projects all over the world. They’ve built a reputation for cutting edge work in branding, storytelling, strategy, content creation… just about anything it takes to capture the public attention.
How does that happen? Much of it comes down to the unique backgrounds and experience of the 4 co-founders: Tony Gardner (a visionary special effects artist), Jeff Jetton (thought leader and strategist), Gregory George Moore (growth-hacker and tastemaker), and Adam Fitzgerald (designer and storyteller). Together, their expertise tracks across cinema, advertising, strategic planning and foresight, audience management, business development—the list goes on.

NASA WORK
Working alongside NASA and SpaceX, Oxcart Assembly built the LAUNCH AMERICA identity including the on-air graphics, broadcast team uniforms, a redesigned logo, and a 100-foot banner on the outside of the Vehicle Assembly Building (itself an incredible feat). The mission had a peak viewership of 10.3 million concurrent viewers, making it the most-watched launch broadcast that NASA has ever tracked.
More recently, Oxcart Assembly has conceptualized the NASA Center Poster Series, a set of high quality, limited-edition collectible posters hand-drawn and screen-printed by artist Neal Williams of Epic Problems Print Shop and Design Studio. Neal recently created the official poster for SXSW 2020’s film festival and is one of the industry’s highest regarded artists.
The series kicks off with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and commemorates the successful landing of the Mars Perseverance Rover and Mars Ingenuity Helicopter.
