\n\t\u201cAnomaly was looking for a partner that could help us scale and grow strategically for the future, and for us to land at Wheelhouse is a full circle moment. We\u2019ve known Brent a long time and, for us, not only did he and Wheelhouse recognize the value of the business we\u2019ve created, but they also saw synergy in our vision, which is to produce content that elevates talent, especially today\u2019s leading creators and sports figures, and tell their stories in exciting, authentic ways,\u201d Kelly and Sorensen added. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be part of the Wheelhouse family and eager to expand Anomaly across new platforms, while offering even greater capabilities to our clients and collaborators.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
