ABOUT BRAND YEW FRIENDS
Brand Yew Friends is a creative production ecosystem bringing together visual artists, mixed-media directors, and global animation studios. We partner with agencies and brands to build bespoke creative teams—combining live action, design, animation, and emerging technology to bring ambitious ideas to life.
Brand Yew Friends was founded by executive producer Santino “Tino” Sladavic, whose career includes leadership roles at Los York, Logan, Not To Scale, Shilo, and Blind. Over two decades in commercial production, he has partnered with agencies and brands around the world to produce work spanning broadcast, digital, and experiential campaigns.
Rather than operating as a traditional production company with a fixed roster, Brand Yew Friends functions as a connected network of artists, directors, studios, and production partners. For every brief we assemble a tailored team of collaborators—combining disciplines and creative perspectives to deliver ambitious work while staying nimble across budgets, formats, and timelines.
While the collective is widely recognized for its design, animation, and post-production expertise, live-action production remains a core pillar of the ecosystem. Many projects integrate multiple disciplines, allowing campaigns to move seamlessly between live action, motion design, VFX, and emerging technologies.
The result is a flexible production partner built for the way modern agencies and brands create today: collaborative, hybrid, and craft-driven.
