What Hush does

Hush (legally Hush London Limited, company number 09964043) is a London-based, privately held animation production company incorporated in 2016 and operating from 27 Mortimer Street. The studio specializes in producing animated content across 2D, 3D, stop-motion, and mixed media techniques for enterprise clients worldwide. Its work is organized into two service lines: Hush Commercials, covering TV commercials, online branded content, and music videos; and HUSH TV, focused on long-form television work that integrates animation, graphic elements, and CGI into series for broadcasters and streaming platforms.

The studio's core deliverable is finished animated content produced by a curated roster of award-winning directors and designers, including BAFTA and Oscar-recognized talent such as Sylvain Chomet and Kirk Hendry. Notable client engagements span Netflix (Stranger Things promotional work), BBC, Prada, Volkswagen, Ardbeg, NHTSA, Cancer Research UK, Stromae, and Turner Classic Movies. The competitive offering is the ability to match diverse creative styles and techniques to specific brand or program needs, rather than any proprietary technology platform or software product.

Hush operates a project-based B2B revenue model, charging production fees per engagement to global brands, advertising agencies, broadcasters, and music artists. The company is bootstrapped, founder-controlled, and small (1–10 employees), supplemented by its freelance director roster and US-based representation. Go-to-market relies on portfolio reputation, direct enterprise relationships, and inbound through the London office rather than disclosed marketing channels or institutional sales infrastructure.
