IS YOUR WORK SHIT? GIVE IT SOME BABES.
STUDIO OF THE BABES is an independent content production and creative direction boutique making work for babes, by babes. We work in both commercial and grassroots spaces, platforming the voices of female, queer, trans and non-binary artists and audiences throughout the creative process.
We make sure that everything and everyone represented within our work is treated fairly and just and, within commercial spaces we aim to only work with brands that exemplify (or, at least, are more than satisfied with) our core values.
As a brand owned by a mixed White and Asian person, we make sure that at least half of those working with us during every creative process come from those of Global Majority backgrounds. We strongly believe in accountability, growth culture and reflection, so if we fall out of alignment with Babehood, we always let each other know as soon as we can.
SOTB is part of the wider OF THE BABES network, also including queer-feminist cultural publication PLANET OF THE BABES, as well as future PLANET OF THE BABES parties. We’re currently based in London, England, but we hope to eventually sprinkle our glitter all around the world.
As we’ve only just started up, we are looking to take on our first few clients. If this sounds like you, head to our services page to see if we’re the best fit for you, then hit us up!
