About Maximum Effort

Maximum Effort, founded in 2018 by Ryan Reynolds and George Dewey, rewrote the playbook for celebrity-driven marketing with fast, culturally reactive, low-budget-feeling work. Its campaigns for Mint Mobile and Aviation Gin became case studies in speed and wit, and the company was named to TIME's 100 most influential companies in 2025.

Maximum Effort's proposition is speed, wit, and built-in celebrity reach at a fraction of traditional cost. The model is distinctive and proven on Reynolds-connected brands, and the fair question is how much of the magic transfers to clients without that star power.
