About Studio Hansa
Studio Hansa is a London-based strategic creative consultancy and moving image production studio. Its work brings together live-action filmmaking, animation, visual effects and brand design to develop commercial films, broadcast identities and content for brands. The studio describes this approach as creating “Truly Moving Content”, connecting narrative development with the design and production of moving images.
From strategy to production
The studio’s offering spans creative direction, content strategy, concept development and production. Film and photography services include cinematography, self-shooting direction, lighting and location management. Animation capabilities cover 2D motion graphics, character animation, 3D CGI, photoreal simulation and motion typography, supported by editing, sound design, sound mixing and colour grading.
Broadcast branding is a substantial part of its portfolio. Studio Hansa develops on-air packages, channel idents, title sequences and visual systems incorporating logos, typography and brand guidelines. Its work also extends to campaign films, educational content, product communication and digital creative research.
Work across screens and sectors
Projects include a unified brand design system for Ukraine’s public broadcaster Suspilne, promotional CGI for Paramount+, and channel campaigns for Viasat World. Its portfolio also includes filmmaking for expedition yacht business Arksen, BBC film and motion projects, PayPal educational content and university brand campaigns. These commissions span television, digital platforms and commercial communications, with work ranging from individual promotional spots to broader identity systems.
Beyond broadcasting and entertainment, the studio serves consumer brands, financial services, higher education, charities and public health organisations. Its combination of strategy, design and production supports both brand development and the delivery of finished screen content.
Founded by filmmaker and creative director Nick Scott, Studio Hansa began operating in 2011 following incorporation in 2010. Strategic branding agency psLondon acquired the business in late 2020 / early 2021 to expand its moving image and animation capabilities. Studio Hansa continues to operate under its own public identity within the PS Group network.
