Kojo

What Kojo does

KOJO Studios Pty Ltd is an Australian-headquartered creative studio operating across three integrated service divisions: KOJO Sport (sports presentation and fan engagement for live events), KOJO Experiences (live brand activations and corporate events), and KOJO Entertainment (film and television post-production, including VFX, colour grading, and delivery). Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Melbourne (Naarm), the company employs 101-250 staff across eight offices in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, with production facilities in Adelaide (Tarndanya) and Melbourne providing end-to-end lens-to-screen capability.

The technology stack centres on VFX, motion design, real-time broadcast graphics (Ross Video XPression Tessera), LED display integration, audio-visual production equipment, 4K/HD post-production pipelines, and proprietary mixed-reality stadium experiences (debuted at Optus Stadium for West Coast Eagles in 2022). The firm has delivered 60+ feature films and 100+ screen credits, and operates a digital fan community platform ("The Garage," 50,000+ users with Repco) alongside a structured fan-engagement methodology ("FanX"). In January 2024, KOJO appointed Paul Nelson (ex-DNEG, MPC, Method, Mill Film) as National VFX Supervisor across the Adelaide and Melbourne facilities.

Commercially, KOJO is a B2B professional services firm earning revenue through project-based engagements delivered to sports leagues (Cricket Australia, AFL, NBL, World Rugby, Melbourne City FC, MLB London Series), film and streaming studios (Netflix, Warner Bros, Causeway Films), and brand clients (Nissan, Repco), with no public pricing and project values determined via competitive tenders and direct negotiations. KOJO is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PMY Group Pty Ltd following a 2024 acquisition that positioned the company within a global venue-technology platform serving 1,000+ clients in 15 countries. Pricing and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
