With the opening of R A U C O U S, former Über Content Co-Founder / Executive Producer Phyllis Koenig and Über’s former Senior Executive Producer / Managing Director Steve Wi have set their sights on creating a fresh new brand.

“At R A U C O U S, we’re building a culture where our directors are encouraged to be collaborative with one another,” remarks Koenig. “My focus is on the fusion of idea and execution in content, with the goal always of being more entertaining, more thoughtful and relevant, and ultimately more compassionate in our larger views.”
Koenig and Wi’s respected standing in the commercial industry has helped the pair launch R A U C O U S on the foundation of solid relationships with top agencies worldwide, including W+K, Deutsch, Droga5, The Martin Agency, BBDO, 72&Sunny, and Periera & O’Dell.
“Phyllis and I have been producing exceptional work and providing our clients with a premium experience throughout our careers,” comments Wi. “R A U C O U S will continue to work with the best of the best in the industry, making sure our directors and clients always feel that they’re part of a shared process.”
