About Stereo

Stereo is an international creative and branding agency commercially operating as Stereo Creative. Founded in London in 2007, it brings together brand strategy, visual identity, integrated campaigns and content production. Its work focuses on connecting brands with consumer culture across sports, entertainment, technology and lifestyle markets.

The agency develops brands from positioning and naming through to visual systems, tone of voice, motion identities and guidelines. It also carries those foundations into advertising, product launches, social content and digital experiences, combining strategic development with the production of assets for multiple channels and markets.

Creative work and production

Stereo's production capabilities include film direction, photography, motion design, 2D and 3D animation, real-time CGI, visualization and post-production. Its campaign work encompasses creative strategy, art direction, global rollouts and cross-platform adaptation. Alongside individual campaigns, the agency supports ongoing content requirements through scalable production arrangements.

Its sports work spans football, professional leagues, motorsport, athletic footwear and apparel. Other markets include consumer products, beverages, fashion, streaming, gaming, financial technology and broadcast media. Across these sectors, the studio combines identity design and storytelling with the practical demands of delivering creative work in different formats.

International development

Stereo developed a transatlantic operation and subsequently expanded its presence into the Middle East in 2026. Its international teams connect work across Europe, North America and the UAE, supporting both regional engagements and campaigns for global brands. The business combines strategic and design capabilities with production resources distributed across these markets.

Koto Studio acquired Stereo Creative in August 2026, with the transaction publicly announced that September as the first acquisition for the newly formed Koto Group. Stereo continues to operate as a distinct, founder-led brand with its own leadership and client engagements, while collaborating with the wider group across branding, campaigns and content production.

More about Stereo

Founders and leadership

  • The London business was founded by Andrew "Andy" Duff, Steven Bell and Matthew Simpson.
  • As of the 2026 research, its leadership includes Andy Duff as CEO, Matthew Simpson as CCO, Steven Bell as Director, and Oli Bealby as North American Managing Director and North America co-founder.

Production methods and technology

  • Stereo describes an "always-on" production model using cross-timezone POD teams to maintain creative output across its international operation.
