HunkyDory joins forces with Chuck Studios

Food specialists open UK office in partnership with London Production Company

Chuck Studios, the first global food-specialist creative production company, announced today the opening of its new U.K. base in London in partnership with HunkyDory films. The London office will be headed up by Executive Producer Pete Ryan who has worked in the UK food sector for over 13 years. Chuck Studios was founded in 2011 by Ellen Gaedtgens and Olaf van Gerwen and is headquartered in Amsterdam with studios in Moscow and Los Angeles.

Co-founder and global creative director Olaf van Gerwen commented: “Some of the best food campaigns in the world originate from UK clients. For us as a company that is the most important condition: fertile ground for highly creative, unique and mouth-watering campaigns.”

Chuck Studios describes itself as a ‘new breed of food and tabletop company’. Founder Ellen Gaedtgens: ‘Chuck Studios is not male- and technology dominated like many of our peers, but diverse and as obsessed by the communications challenge as by the taste appeal. With bases now in four regions, Chuck Studios can offer their talent and expertise for everything food and drink related on a larger scale and both on and off the table.’

Ryan, previously a producer at Park Village, brings 13 years of food experience for clients such as Tesco, Sharwood’s and McDonalds. “It’s a great opportunity to work with trusted and respected partners like Chuck Studios and HunkyDory. We think every food brand deserves a unique culinary identity. We can share knowledge and talent with all other Chuck Studios branches and collaborate with the storytelling talent of HunkyDory. What’s not to like?’

HunkyDory’s managing director John Doris says: “I’m so excited about teaming up with Chuck Studios.  They have amazing food and tabletop talent from around the world that we can tap into for the UK market. HunkyDory and Chuck Studios can offer brilliant solutions in cross fertilising our HunkyDory directing talent with Chuck Studios culinary expertise.’
