MAKE YOUR MARK
Written by Tyler A. Smith
Introduction In May of last year, we announced an indefinite hiatus to focus on priorities outside of We Are OH Studios. Ultimately, that six-month break provided the necessary space to step back from our projects and reset. Today, we are here to discuss the future of the company, our music program, and our vision for 2026.
The Transition We officially returned from hiatus this past December. During our time away, we worked closely with partners and friends to evaluate what a return would look like. Leading up to the hiatus, the pressure to constantly push ourselves to the edge of collapse had become unsustainable. We learned that we are only human, and the scale to which I had built We Are OH was no longer manageable.
Last month, we decided to restructure the company, streamlining our focus solely on We Are OH Studios. This difficult decision marks the end of We Are OH Music, Goodness, LUMI, Simple as Records, and Sound Check Mag. We are incredibly thankful to everyone we have collaborated with over the last 17 years, including those who were with us before the official formation of the Studios in 2009. While it is tough to move on from these projects and the music scene we spent years building, Lancaster is growing—and we must grow with it. To continue that evolution, we need to branch out.
What’s Next? As we move into the second quarter of 2026, we are excited to explore new horizons. In 2019, we experimented with in-house photography and videography at LAUNCH, working with a handful of friends to test our capabilities. While that remained a personal project for the last five years, today we are officially launching We Are OH Media. We will now offer full photo and video services to both existing and new clients. I am thrilled to move forward with the skills I’ve honed over the last six years, turning a childhood hobby into a professional pillar of our business.
As for "business as usual," we will be expanding our offerings, entering new adventures, and embracing the cultured mindset we strive for every day. 2026 marks our 17th year as We Are OH Studios, and we are ready to build back stronger. Most importantly, we are ready to MAKE OUR MARK.
