At Lost Loved, we believe the strongest ideas deserve the sharpest research. Multi-award-winning and trusted by leading agencies, our work goes beyond the functional — it’s intuitive, collaborative, and always in service of the story. We start by immersing ourselves in your creative — its tone, rhythm, and intention — then assign a specialist researcher to lead a focused, curated search. No two projects are the same, and we treat them that way. We work closely and move fast, delivering organized, evolving research that creates space to refine, pivot, and elevate. Whether you’re shaping a concept or working to a tight brief, we stay agile and strategic — with a clear understanding of budget, timing, and tone.We source globally and with intent — from leading archives and niche vendors to independent filmmakers, image-makers, and digital creators. Our approach is deliberate, detail-led, and always aligned with the work. Because the right material doesn’t just support the idea — it transforms it.
