Studio 30 began in a borrowed corner of a Bermondsey co-working space in spring 2021. Abid Ahmed had spent eight years running content for UK brands - big ones and small ones - and kept finding the same thing. The small ones were being underserved. The big ones were paying ten times more for nearly the same work. Somewhere in the middle there was a studio waiting to exist.
The first client was a dental practice in Islington who had hired two agencies before us and fired both. They told us they felt like a line item. We told them we'd treat them like the only one. That client is still with us, six years later, and has a six-figure valuation swing attributable to content we made together.
We've grown slowly on purpose. We turn away more work than we take. The team is four people. The roster is eleven industries. The average engagement is three years. We pick clients we'd invite to dinner.
