Turning screen time into something parents can feel good about

Turning a title sequence into a celebration of a city
Hootenanna / Claybody Theatre

Bringing the workplace into the classroom
Good Employer Encounters / Careers & Enterprise Team
We created a live-action case study following teachers visiting JCB, showing how first-hand employer experiences can help educators connect classroom learning to real careers, skills and opportunities, while also encouraging more employers to get involved and share their expertise.
Turning years of research into a story people could understand in minutesClient: King’s College London

THE STUDIO
We work in a bank. (We kept the vault.)
We're a visual communication studio in Stoke-on-Trent. Our in-house team of animators, artists, technologists and storytellers turns complex ideas into films, characters and experiences that people understand, remember and act on.
And we don't stop at making it. We plan where your content goes too, from social and digital to live events and immersive experiences, so it reaches the right people and moves them to act.
