About Friendly

Natively multicultural creative agency in New York City. Built for brands that want to connect with the US Hispanic market.

Friendly Creative Studios was born in NYC to help brands connect with US Hispanic audiences authentically. Many teams have the budget and the right intentions, but fail to execute due to a lack of cultural context.

We work in English and Spanish from the start. We build strategy from real cultural insight, not from direct translation or recycled formulas.

We combine brand strategy, content production, digital experiences, AI workflows, and XR to help brands grow across languages without losing consistency or quality.

Harold Luna

Building the bridge between cultures and brands.

Harold Luna founded Friendly Creative Studios with over a decade of experience in the New York advertising and production landscape. He has dedicated his career to closing the gap between high-level brand strategy and authentic multicultural connection.

As a native multicultural strategist, Harold understands that effective marketing is not just about words; it is about the nuanced transformation of intent across cultures. He developed a three-phase methodology—Experience Audit, Structural Design, Precision Execution—that takes brands from cultural uncertainty to market clarity.

Under his leadership, Friendly has grown as a certified M/WBE agency that combines human-centric storytelling with AI and XR technologies to help brands operate effectively across cultural and linguistic borders.
