A+C Studios expands US presence with Jen Giles & Partners

We’re excited to announce a new chapter for A+C Studios: Jen Giles & Partners will now represent us across the US Midwest. This marks an exciting step in our continued global growth.

For over 19 years, A+C Studios has built a reputation for creating distinctive, character-led animation through stop motion and mixed media work. From campaigns for BBC Studios, Unilever, and Disney, to ambitious long-form storytelling, our work has always been rooted in the same belief: that handcrafted storytelling creates a lasting connection.

Craft cuts through.

And we’re excited to bring more of that work to creative partners across the US.

As our international presence continues to grow, expanding our footprint in the US feels like a natural next step.

But growth only works when the partnership is right.

Why US representation matters

Representation on the ground allows us to build closer relationships with agencies and brands, collaborate earlier in the creative process, and bring our approach to handcrafted animation to more exciting projects.

The US has always been an important market for A+C.

We’ve been fortunate to collaborate on projects that travel internationally, but dedicated representation gives us something more valuable: proximity.

• Proximity to conversations.
• Proximity to creative partnerships.
• Proximity to the teams shaping the next generation of storytelling.

For us, the most exciting projects are often the ones built collaboratively: where creative ambition, technical craft and storytelling come together from the outset. Having a trusted partner on the ground helps make those conversations happen more often.

With Jen Giles & Partners, we now have a trusted team helping us build those connections and champion our work in a meaningful way.

Finding the right partner

Choosing a rep wasn’t just about geography, it was about finding a team that genuinely understands our craft, values, and creative ambition.

From our first conversations with Jen and her team, there was a clear alignment.

They understand what makes handcrafted animation powerful: the detail, the personality, the tactile quality that makes audiences stop scrolling.

Just as importantly, they understand how to connect that craft with the right opportunities.

Their thoughtful, collaborative approach made this partnership feel like a natural fit.

Partnerships like this are built on trust, shared values, and a mutual belief in the kind of work we want to put into the world. We’re excited to be working with a team that believes in the power of craft.

A word from our founder

“From the beginning, A+C has been about handcrafted storytelling with global ambition. Partnering with Jen Giles + Partners feels like a natural step for us as we continue to grow our presence in the US.

Jen and the team truly understand the craft, the character, and the playful spirit behind what we do. Their reputation and relationships across the industry make them the perfect partners to help bring our work to more agencies and brands across America.” 

Dan Richards, Founder of A+C Studios.

Looking ahead

This partnership marks an exciting next step in A+C’s continued growth, and opens the door to new collaborations, new creative conversations, and new possibilities.

We’re proud of how far A+C has come.

And we’re even more excited about what comes next.

With Jen Giles & Partners alongside us, we’re looking forward to collaborating with more agencies and brands across the US — bringing bold ideas to life through handcrafted animation. 

As the studio continues to evolve, this partnership reflects something bigger than expansion—it reflects our ambition to keep growing thoughtfully, while staying true to the values that built A+C in the first place

Let’s make something unforgettable, frame by frame.
