Ynot Studios

Ynot Studios is an independent Sunderland-based creative agency and video production studio founded in 2018. Also publicly marketed as Ynot Agency, it combines commercial filmmaking, brand development and digital marketing to help organisations create campaigns and content for contemporary audiences.

The studio works across commercial and branded video production, social-first campaigns, short-form content, brand identity and visual strategy. Its production offering spans concept development, on-location filming, editing, motion graphics, 2D animation, visual effects, colour grading, sound design and aerial cinematography. Alongside moving-image work, the team delivers rebrands, graphic design, print collateral, out-of-home creative, channel management, community engagement, paid social campaigns and email marketing.

Production and creative work

Ynot Studios uses professional Sony FX6, FX30 and A7SIII camera systems alongside DJI aerial and gimbal equipment, with Mac-based editing and colour workflows supporting offline and online post-production. This allows the agency to produce work ranging from campaign films and animated advertising to employer-brand content, sports launches and ongoing social-media assets.

Its clients and collaborators span sport, hospitality, leisure, transport, financial services, public-sector organisations and community-focused businesses. Supported work includes a visual rebrand and kit-launch films for Durham Cricket; video campaigns for Arriva's zero-emission electric bus fleet launch; internal sales-training modules for Virgin Media; and long-term social content for Hard Rock Cafe Newcastle.

The studio has also produced football-related campaigns for Sunderland AFC, Carling and Newcastle United-linked initiatives, as well as an animated television campaign for Everyone Active. Other documented projects include content for Parkdean Resorts, Newcastle International Airport, Direct Line Group and the Northern Housing Consortium.

Founded by Anthony Carr and co-led with directors Oliver Lindley and Anthony Fenton, Ynot Studios operates as a privately held agency. Its work brings together production, design and digital strategy in a single creative offering for regional, national and multinational clients.
