About Cookie Studio
Cookie Studio is an independent animation and motion design boutique founded in London in 2010 by Brazilian-born creative director Thiago Maia. Working across advertising, broadcast and digital media, it creates colourful, character-driven films that use playfulness and humour to communicate client messages. Its work combines traditional animation techniques with contemporary motion graphics and 3D design.
The studio provides production from initial concepts and scripts through art direction, storyboards and final animation. Its capabilities span hand-drawn cel animation, 2D vector animation, 3D modelling, character animation and mixed-media production. Paper-craft aesthetics and combinations of live-action footage with animated graphics also feature in its portfolio, allowing different projects to take distinct visual forms.
Animation for brands and broadcasters
Cookie produces television commercials, broadcast idents, channel packaging, sponsorship sequences, title sequences and online advertising films. Its markets include consumer brands, entertainment, technology, video game marketing and public awareness campaigns. Projects range from short promotional spots to educational films and broader brand campaigns.
The portfolio includes a satirical animated story trailer for Sony’s Helldivers, a cosmic 3D ident introducing the BBC’s Whoniverse, and Don’t Call It Cookies, an educational campaign about digital privacy and internet tracking. Other work includes Cartoon Network’s Be A Buddy anti-bullying initiative and Climate Champions, which combines live action with animation. Seasonal projects for the BBC and Disney sit alongside commercial campaigns for Pringles and an animated Mother’s Day spot for Fitbit.
Cookie expanded into Brazil in July 2019, establishing a direct São Paulo branch alongside its London operation. The two teams collaborate on Latin American and international advertising work through integrated cross-border production. This shared production model connects the studio’s British and Brazilian operations under a single creative brand, supporting both commercial campaigns and broadcast identities.
