Manchester-based Ben Wild Studios and Clock Tower Innovation have announced a new strategic partnership, formally bringing together two businesses that have already collaborated on a range of major international projects and campaigns.
The partnership combines the creative production expertise of Ben Wild Studios with the strategic storytelling and corporate communications capabilities of Clock Tower Innovation, creating a full-service offer spanning strategy, messaging, creative development, production and execution. Operating across both the UK and US markets, the partnership has been designed to help businesses deliver more human, effective and impactful communications at scale.
Together, the businesses have already worked across projects connected to globally recognised names including Citigroup, NatWest, Rabobank, Amazon Prime Video, Warner Bros., BBC and a leading global asset management firm, alongside work spanning technology, financial services, television, startups and nonprofit organisations.
The partnership also brings together significant experience across screen, corporate and creative work. Simmy Kustanowitz, Founder of Clock Tower Innovation, is Emmy-nominated, with TV credits including Impractical Jokers, Foul Play with Anthony Davis, Adam Ruins Everything, At Home with Amy Sedaris, The Last O.G. and Total Request Live.
The formal partnership creates a platform for continued growth, expanded services and broader cross-market collaboration between the two businesses.
Ben Wild, Founder of Ben Wild Studios, said: “We realised we were increasingly delivering projects that naturally required both businesses working side by side, so making the partnership official felt like the right next step.
“What makes this exciting is that clients now get access to the full capabilities of both teams from day one, from early strategy and storytelling through to production, creative delivery and execution.
“We’re already seeing growing demand from brands and organisations looking for something more agile, more collaborative and more human than the traditional agency model. Together, we can offer that at a much bigger scale.”
Simmy Kustanowitz, Founder of Clock Tower Innovation, added: “This partnership allows us to build something that simply would not have been possible on our own. Ben and the BWS team deliver exceptional creative work and bring a level of teamwork and execution that is genuinely rare.
“We have already quietly built successful work together across major corporate campaigns and productions, and this marks the next step in a relationship that has been working extremely well behind the scenes.
“At a time when many businesses are struggling to connect with people in meaningful ways, we believe there is a huge opportunity to deliver communications and storytelling that genuinely land and drive impact.”
The partnership will initially continue operating across both brands while longer-term positioning and identity plans are developed. Both businesses say the collaboration will support continued growth, wider international reach and expanded opportunities for artists, creatives and clients across multiple sectors.
