Overlord is a web3 gaming and entertainment brand, best known for overseeing the Creepz NFT collection. It is under the management of Three Six Zero, an entertainment and talent management company that has previously represented artists such as Will Smith and Calvin Harris. The multimedia brand spans across various areas, including TV animation, streetwear fashion, blockchain gaming, ecosystem coin, and brand establishment. ^[1]

Creepz

Overlord aims to expand the Creepz intellectual property into various entertainment verticals that are designed for mainstream adoption, with value accruing to Creepz holders. The company has disclosed five key verticals that they intend to prioritize as they establish their brand and presence in the market: TV animation, streetwear fashion and merchandise, blockchain gaming, brand building, and ecosystem coin. ^[2]

“Beyond hard work, two main things set us apart. The first was leaning into the idea of IP. IP is more than just the artwork itself, it’s the narratives, it’s the universe around it, it’s the motivations, the will to want to take on this character and live it. The second main pillar is understanding what your product is. We saw the community as the product in many ways. We didn’t just see the community as fans. We saw them as segments of users who are trying to get something out of the brand. If you segment who your users are, you interact with them in different ways at different points in that journey. You really create this fun fandom that still exists, even in a bear market.”Creepz Co-Founder, Dom
