Studio
Craft that holds the whole campaign together.
This is the studio side of Blonde,the brand identity, design, motion, animation and photography work that lives alongside the films we make. The foundations. The connective tissue. The craft that makes every campaign feel like it came from a single point of view.
We’ve rebranded a national children’s charity. Designed campaign identities that have run across TV, OOH and social. Animated characters for GSK and global YouTube content for Bayer. Shot everything from intimate at-home portraits to global brand photography across five continents. And built mixed-media CTV campaigns for ExpressVPN running on Amazon Prime and Netflix.
It’s the same studio, the same creative direction, the same point of view across every craft discipline. Which is why our work holds together, whatever channel it ends up on.

Full pipeline, single direction
Most studios treat branding, design, animation and photography as separate services, often bolted onto film production at the last minute. We don’t.
For us, they’re part of the same creative thinking, run by the same studio, with the same creative direction running through every discipline. Concept, storyboard, design, animation, photography, sound and delivery, all managed by Blonde from start to finish.
Because the best work isn’t about software, or specialism. It’s about the idea behind it, the craft of the execution, and the consistency of the creative direction holding it all together. Which is why brands like Young Epilepsy trust us with the whole picture, not just the moving parts.
