Class A Sounds Competitors

For a decade, we've built the digital infrastructure some of the world's largest brands run on. Now we're using it to do something bigger. Crescendo Collective is an Applied AI Agency. We deliver the full program — structured content that feeds AI answer engines, owned AI models trained on your brand, and frontier integrations that turn your existing digital stack into a growth engine. We're not consultants. We're builders. We run global digital operations for some of the largest pharma and consumer health brands in the world — across every timezone, at scale. The only agency with an end-to-end Applied AI Program built for regulated industries. Small enough to be fast. Experienced enough to know what breaks. Most agencies are still explaining what AI is. We're already building what it runs on.

Ensemble Studios was a game development studio based in Dallas, Texas (USA). It was established in 1995 by Tony Goodman, John Boog-Scott and Rick Goodman. Previously Tony Goodman had founded the information technology company Ensemble Corporation in 1991 together with John Boog-Scott, John Calhoun, and Thad Chapman. Ensemble Corporation was acquired by USWeb Corporation in 1997, Ensemble Studios was acquired by Microsoft in 2001. Ensemble Studios is most famous for having established the Age of Empires series of strategy games, which has seen installments for over ten years (1997-2007) and still lives on in titles such as Age of Empires Online (2011). In September 2008 it was confirmed Microsoft would shut down the studio following the release of Halo Wars, as a fiscally-rooted decision. The closure of Ensemble led to the formation of many new development studios by former employees: • Tony Goodman, along with a number of veteran developers, announced in February 2009 to have founded the studio Robot Entertainment. • A second team of about 35 developers announced to have founded Bonfire Studios (now Zynga Dallas) in the same month, headed by David Rippy. • Dusty Monk established Windstorm Studios. • The brothers Paul Bettner and David Bettner founded Newtoy, Inc. (now Zynga With Friends). • The brothers Tommy Bean and Michael Bean established Pixelocity Software (after briefly working at Robot Entertainment) • Jeff Ruediger co-founded the mobile game development studio Fuzzycube Software in March 2009. • Graeme Devine established GRL Games in 2010.
