What we do
Publishing | Tabletop | Film & TV | Consumer Products
Four areas. One franchise strategy.
We don’t approach these as separate businesses. We look at the whole property and determine where it can live, grow and connect with fans.
Tabletop Games
We create games rooted in great stories, passionate fandoms and the joy of bringing people together.
Film and Television
We develop properties with screen potential from the beginning and partner with producers, talent and production companies to bring them to life.
Consumer Products and Licensing
We extend stories and brands into products and experiences that deepen the relationship between fans and the worlds they love.
The Salt model
We start with the end in mind
At Salt, we imagine where a story can go before deciding where it should begin. We develop stories, characters and worlds with the potential to grow across multiple forms of entertainment.
01 Story and IP first.
We build the story and the world before determining all the ways audiences will experience it.
02 Fan focused.
We create worlds people want to enter, share and return to again and again.
03 BUILT TO LAST.
We don't optimize for the next product or the next deal. We build for the lifetime value of the franchise.
