​Branding For The Brave: The Workhouse Standard
In a market saturated with copies, clones, imitations, originality is the last unfair advantage. At Workhouse, we don’t just admire original voices — we amplify them. We partner with creators, founders, artists, and visionaries who are building something real. Not algorithms. Not noise. Not trend-chasing AI fluff. But sharp, culture-shifting work that deserves to be heard — and heard loudly. Amplifying isn’t about volume for volume’s sake. It’s about clarity. Precision. Relevance. We translate vision into strategy, voice into platforms, and potential into reach.

What We Build:
Brand architecture that honors difference.
Campaigns that carry weight and don’t evaporate.
Creative that conquers. 

In a culture obsessed with replication, Workhouse backs the ones who build from scratch.
We don't water it down.
We turn it up.

​Hollywood isn’t the only game in town.
​
With Netflix’s colossal studio set to rise at Fort Monmouth, the indomitable Diane Raver launching the trailblazing New Jersey Film Academy, the celebrated Garden State Film Festival lighting up Asbury Park, and the First Annual New Jersey Film Expo making its debut—the Garden State is no longer the backdrop. It’s the spotlight.
​
This isn’t a moment. It’s a movement. New Jersey is officially in production.

​On social media, people are turning themselves into plastic dolls. Getting boxed up, polished, and posted. 

We made one that breaks out.

When it comes to pizza, Will Fagg knows his dough. The chef and founder of Baltimore’s TinyBrickOven has been serving up wood-fired perfection for years, but his latest venture is set to bring the art of pizza-making to homes across the country. This May, Fagg will launch his highly anticipated TinyBrickOven—a portable, high-performance pizza oven designed to transform anyone into a master pizzaiolo.

The compact oven promises to cook a Neapolitan-style pizza in under two minutes, blending speed with quality in a way that most home ovens simply can’t replicate. Designed for both beginners and seasoned chefs, it offers a temperature range that rivals commercial models, making it versatile enough for any kind of pizza—from classic Margheritas to inventive, topping-heavy creations.

The oven is more than just a product—it’s a symbol of resilience. Designed with input from pizza enthusiasts and culinary professionals alike, the oven incorporates features that streamline the pizza-making process without sacrificing quality. The compact design makes it perfect for patios and small kitchens, while its robust construction ensures it can handle everything from quick weeknight dinners to elaborate pizza parties.

Fagg isn’t stopping at hardware. His passion for teaching is just as strong as his love for pizza, and he’s combining both through hands-on classes at his shop on Light Street. These classes are designed to teach participants everything from stretching dough to mastering the perfect bake, with plenty of tips and tricks to take home.

Inside TinyBrickOven’s cozy yet bustling kitchen, participants are guided step-by-step through the pizza-making process. They learn how to knead dough until it’s silky smooth, how to craft a tomato sauce that sings with freshness, and how to layer toppings with an eye for balance and flavor. The environment is welcoming, with a camaraderie built over shared flour and cheese. Each session ends with a communal meal, where participants get to enjoy the fruits of their labor together.

The classes attract a diverse crowd. There are the foodies looking to refine their culinary skills, the home cooks searching for a new hobby, and even the occasional professional chef eager to learn from a seasoned pro. Fagg’s teaching extends beyond Baltimore. Through his website MyPizzaSchool.com, he offers virtual classes that make his expertise accessible to a global audience.

The online platform offers everything from live tutorials to pre-recorded masterclasses, each one delving into different aspects of the pizza-making process. Participants receive ingredient lists, recipe cards, and access to a community forum where they can share their progress and ask questions. The community is supportive—it’s not just about learning from the instructor, but from each other too.

With the oven launch just around the corner, Fagg is all in. The buzz around TinyBrickOven is building, and pre-orders are already stacking up. It’s a stark contrast to a few months ago when the future of the shop seemed uncertain. Now, Fagg is looking at production schedules and planning for expansion.

As part of the launch, Fagg is planning a series of pop-up events where he’ll demonstrate the oven’s capabilities. Attendees will get the chance to see the oven in action, try their hand at making their own pizzas, and, of course, taste the results. The goal is to show how easy and enjoyable the process can be.

The road to this moment wasn’t easy. Last December, TinyBrickOven was on the verge of closing. Sales were down, and the restaurant’s inability to secure a liquor license had placed it at a disadvantage against competitors. Then, Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports walked in.

Portnoy’s impromptu review on his One Bite Pizza Reviews channel turned everything around. His $60,000 donation not only saved TinyBrickOven from closing but also sparked a surge of support from the community. It was a turning point that allowed Fagg to move forward with his plans for the oven launch and teaching programs.

For Fagg, the future isn’t just about keeping the doors open—it’s about growth. The oven launch, the classes, and the continued success of TinyBrickOven are all part of a larger vision. It’s not just about the business—it’s about sharing a passion for pizza with as many people as possible.

With a fresh start and a fiery passion, TinyBrickOven’s story is one of grit and generosity. The brand isn’t just serving pizza—it’s serving inspiration. And as the new ovens roll out and more students step into the kitchen, it’s clear that the best slice is yet to come.

#OnThisDay 24 February 2001—24 years ago— The 24 Hour Plays took the stage at the Henry Fonda Theater in Los Angeles co-produced by Workhouse to raise critical donations for the New York State WTC Relief Fund. In the wake of 9/11, this extraordinary event brought together an incredible ensemble of talent, proving that art can be a force for healing and change.
Workhouse founder Adam Nelson portrayed Otto in Sleeping City, directed by Gregory Mosher, alongside Jared Harris, Seth Green, and Gina Phillips. The Los Angeles edition featured a stellar lineup, including Mila Kunis, Sarah Silverman, John Ritter, Bob Balaban, Adam Goldberg, Christina Applegate, Jennifer Coolidge, and a galaxy of greats—each contributing to six original plays created, rehearsed, and performed within just 24 hours.

Just days after 9/11, Workhouse co-produced The 24 Hour Plays to aid NYC, one of the first artistic endeavors to take place during a dark & difficult time. Nelson shared the stage with Philip Seymour Hoffman, Marisa Tomei and Fisher Stevens joining a powerhouse cast that included Rosie Perez, Benjamin Bratt, Billy Crudup, Mary-Louise Parker, Julianne Moore, Kyra Sedgwick, Natasha Lyonne, Scarlett Johansson, Liev Schreiber, and Sam Rockwell. The benefit raised over $30,000, performing for a sold-out audience including New York icons like Robert DeNiro and Kevin Bacon. Every dollar supported the families and victims of September 11th.
​
What began as a response to an unimaginable tragedy has since grown into an internationally celebrated tradition. The 24 Hour Plays continues to bring together artists and audiences, proving that storytelling and community can create lasting impact—on stage and beyond.
