Studio Yes goes global with the Auspicious Group!

Have you heard?

• Studio Yes is to expand its capabilities into new markets while continuing to represent the highest calibre of film directors and produce best-in-class commercials, brand films, and social content for the world’s leading companies and agencies.
• Studio Yes will be joining the Auspicious Group which is also home to award-winning US production company Blue Chalk and Auspicious Global, a new communications agency.

Studio Yes, a renowned creative film production company (if they do say so themselves…), is excited to announce that it is joining The Auspicious Group, an ambitious new creative services agency headquartered in London. But fear not, Studio Yes will continue its decade-long mission of producing award-winning films for the world’s most beloved brands.

Sam Ojari, Managing Director of Studio Yes, couldn’t contain his excitement about the partnership: “We are so excited to be joining The Auspicious Group. The vision the Co-Founders have set out is exciting, and we share their passion, drive, and enthusiasm for creating unique, entertaining content.”

Based in London and New York, Studio Yes lives and breathes its mantra of being the world’s most positive film production company. With a commitment to producing films that people genuinely love to watch, Studio Yes is led by Sam Ojari (Managing Director), Dulcie Cowling (Executive Creative Director), and Zoë Waller (Executive Producer). Together, they will continue driving the company forward under the new ownership.

Reflecting on the company’s journey, Sam Ojari added: “When we set out in 2013, our vision was to create ridiculously good films, but with a difference. We wanted the filmmaking process to be just as fun and enjoyable as watching the finished product—for both our clients and our people. We’re confident that ethos has contributed to the calibre of clients we’ve worked with, the awards we’ve won, and the reputation we’ve gained. I can’t wait to create more magic.”

The Auspicious Group is led by three of the UK’s most experienced creative services entrepreneurs: Co-CEO Rachel Pendered, Co-Founder of Media Zoo Group and former NatWest and Management Today Entrepreneur of the Year; Co-CEO Barnaby Cook, Co-Founder of Casual Films and presenter of The Exit Plan podcast; and Mark Killick, former BBC Creative Director and PRCA Award winner. Grace Cook, a seasoned commercial and partnerships director with over 15 years of experience, serves as a shareholder and board director, solidifying Auspicious as a majority female-owned business.

Commenting on The Auspicious Group, Barnaby Cook said: “Studio Yes is best in class. We believe with the collaborative and creative culture we are building, the Auspicious Group will be more than the sum of its parts.”
