Barnaby Cook joins as CEO

Big changes are afoot at Studio Yes 

We are ecstatic to welcome Barnaby to the Yes family where he will oversee some exciting changes, including expanding our global offering. As part of the plans, Studio Yes’s strategic and creative offering Hell Yeah! will be rolled into the Yes brand as we continue to work directly with clients on full-service campaigns.

Barnaby co-founded his own production company Casual Films, eventually exiting after opening offices in New York, LA and Melbourne and helping guide the agency to multi-million pound success. Looking to replicate that success with Studio Yes, Barnaby and the team plan to take a similar approach to overseas expansion, with the creation of a New York office already underway.

Senior producer Katelyn Karese is our first international hire and, with extensive experience and strong links to the comedy scene, Katelyn will be key to our plans for growth in the US market.

Studio Yes founders Sam Ojari and Dulcie Cowling will continue to lead the day to day running of Studio Yes and can’t wait to work alongside Barnaby.
