Humenhoid is Enrico Granzotto's creative consciousness

Stories. Worlds. Universes.

Humenhoid is a creative research unit specialized in immersive entertainment and transmedia storytelling with focus on cinema, tv series, video games, and marketing.

Humenhoid studies visual representation and promotion modalities examining creative aspects, sector-specific similarities and commercial potential for the creation of stories, advertising initiatives, events, interactive experiences, and complex fictional worlds.

Humenhoid is particularly focused on the conception phase, when the creative vision is established through research, analysis and narration. Humenhoid is able to analyze, compare and recombine elements to shape new content, supporting the definition of world-building narratives by funding immersive coordinates in order to enhance pre-production and marketing.


Research + Strategy + Conception + Storytelling

Humenhoid carries out cross-sectoral studies and product comparisons, working in support of publishers, creative agencies, film producers and video game developers with the purpose of increasing the creative and commercial potential of a project through the creation of pervasive promotional strategies and collateral content.

Humenhoid combines immersive communication systems and transmedia storytelling to create informative structures suitable for media conversion processes between editorial, promotional, cinematographic, television, musical and gaming products and in virtual reality, expanding the possibilities of their application and increasing the level of entertainment.

Humenhoid starts from analyzing what is already there, and aims at generating uncommonly powerful outcomes.
