SHADED THE STUDIO
A FULL-SERVICE CREATIVE STUDIO BASED IN LONDON, BUILDING BRANDS THROUGH CULTURE WORTH REMEMBERING VIA LEADING CONTENT STRATEGY AND BEST IN CLASS EXECUTION
WE MAKE MOMENTS, NOT JUST CONTENT.
Strategic Storytelling
Our brands typically start with a Brandstorm onboarding process: A brainstorm for your brand. We use over 20+ years of working in content and DTC to give you tried-and-tested strategies that fit within your budget and goals.
Repurposing Content
We can create content through minor edits of existing content in your library to ensure channel best practice and be able to drive growth in the way that each channel requires.
Creative Production
From end-to-end studio shoots, to assisting creatively direct existing shoots you already have planned to ideating and executing UGC-styled content in an apartment, we can support your creative needs.
VIRALITY FADES. CULTURE STAYS. WORKING WITH BRANDS LIKE:
We believe great work starts with listening.
We’re a mix of minds, backgrounds, and bold opinions and that’s exactly how we like it. Different perspectives fuel better stories, and we’re here for the kind that actually mean something.
We listen first, to our clients, their culture, their chaos, then turn it into creative that tells stories in an engaging way. Real, intentional, and rooted in the world outside the marketing bubble.
Inclusion isn’t a buzzword to us; it’s how we work, who we hire, and why our ideas don’t all look (or sound) the same.
