“We believe our customers can do anything they set their hearts to,” said Jim Hyde, president of Boost Mobile. “Their ability to tackle any goal or passion they’re interested in, coupled with our new limitless no-contract wireless plan, is the inspiration for this exciting new campaign. We’re thrilled to invite the world into our Unlimited way of life. At Boost Mobile, we’re right next to our customers – proudly supporting and sharing all their hard work, fun, risks and rewards – because ‘We Are Where You At.’”

The “We Are Where You At” campaign was developed and produced by ChopShop, a lifestyle content agency in Orange County, Calif.

“‘We Are Where You At’ is a way to celebrate the culture and community of Boost Mobile’s customers,” said Zach Lyons, chief creative officer, ChopShop. “We brought in Crash (aka Karsten Gopinath), the director of photography who filmed Kanye West, Ludacris and The Game in Boost Mobile’s original ‘Where You At?’ anthem commercial in 2004 to co-direct the new spots and return the brand to form in the most authentic fashion.”
