What Radley Studios does

Radley Studios is a privately held, full-service content and design studio founded in 2010 and headquartered in the historic Wiltern building in Koreatown, Los Angeles, with 51–100 employees. The studio is organized into two primary divisions — Entertainment & Brand Studio (branding, design, animation, live-action production, editorial/post-production, and 360/VR experiences) and Original Series & Documentary (unscripted television production for streamers and networks). Its service portfolio spans creative development through final delivery under one roof, with Dolby Vision certification, 2D and 3D animation, VFX, color correction, and immersive content capabilities.

The studio operates as a B2B professional services business, generating revenue from project-based engagements across three verticals: entertainment networks and streaming platforms (Netflix, Disney+, HBO/Max, ABC, FX, National Geographic, Discovery, Investigation Discovery, Travel Channel), sports leagues and organizations (NFL Network, WNBA, USA Basketball), and consumer and technology brands (AT&T, Cisco, ROKA, American Express, ADT, Food Network). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Notable productions include the Peabody and Independent Spirit Award-winning documentary Immigration Nation (Netflix), Unnatural Selection (Netflix), People Magazine Investigates (Investigation Discovery, 9 seasons/100+ episodes), Strive (YouTube Originals with Justin Lin's Perfect Storm Entertainment), and Prairie Dog Manor (Disney+/Nat Geo Wild). The studio is Dolby Vision certified and runs an integrated concept-through-delivery pipeline.

Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with dedicated partnership contacts for each division — Lisa Miller as Head of Client Partnerships for Entertainment & Brand Studio, and CAA (Creative Artists Agency) representing the Original Series & Documentary division. The firm maintains a long-term agency partnership with The Marketing Arm (TMA) for sports and brand activations, and collaborates with co-production partners including Reel Peak Films and Impact Partners on documentary projects. The studio is founder-owned (Christian Thompson as COO, Kurt Spenser as CCO and co-founder of ROKA, Brandon Hill as President of Television, Antonio Cicarelli as Executive Design Director, Brandon Pleus as Sr. Executive Producer) with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or ownership changes.
