CELEBRATING 20 YEARS IN NEW YORK

As our New York studio celebrates 20 years of creative excellence, we reflect on two decades of groundbreaking work that has reframed the possible. 

Since opening in 2004, our New York studio has led some of the company’s most iconic campaigns across advertising and immersive experiences. From the beloved Geico Gecko to groundbreaking immersive projects such as Lockheed Martin’s award-winning and innovative "Field Trip to Mars." Framestore’s live-action production offering was bolstered when the Pictures team was established in 2014, representing a curated roster of directors who are supported by our powerhouse of talent. In 2019, we expanded our offerings on the East Coast to include episodic content, delivering standout work for major titles like Marvel's WandaVision, Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender, and more.

From launching iconic campaigns to earning industry awards and accolades, Framestore has consistently pushed the boundaries of visual effects, creativity and storytelling. Our legacy is built on innovation; our clients and creative collaborators and our talented range of teams that serve as a testament to our dedication to the craft across our pillars – including Advertising, Episodic, Immersive and Design.
