CGSB

What CGSB does

CGSB (legally Computer Generated Services Bureau) is a Brooklyn, New York-based digital creative studio operating with a five-person team. The studio provides four integrated service lines: 3D Production and Product Visualization, Animation and Motion Graphics, Narrative Strategy, and Sound Design and Composition. Its technical capabilities span 3D modeling, rendering, simulation, virtual production via Unreal Engine, immersive sound installations, exhibition design, and web-based interactivity.

CGSB serves enterprise brand clients through project-based engagements. Publicly visible client work includes Nike (.SWOOSH '404 Error' and Air Max 1 'Low Poly' campaigns), Casetify (Travel 'Bounce' launch), Coach ('Wear Your Shine' outdoor installation), Coachtopia ('Welcome to Coachtopia' in-store experience), Head & Shoulders ('Take It Up To 100' virtual production using Unreal Engine), General Electric (GridOS investor day presentation), and The Whitney Museum (Rachel Rossin's 'The Maw Of' exhibition). The studio positions itself as a nimble alternative to larger agencies, offering end-to-end production from concept through delivery without agency overhead.

The studio is led by Creative Director Stewart Bird (MFA, Pratt Institute) and Producer/Narrative Strategist Chris Gouchoe (formerly first employee and Head of Marketing at KitBash3D). Revenue is generated through one-time project fees with no public pricing, no subscription or retainer model disclosed, and no institutional investment indicated. Client acquisition is consultative and sales-led, primarily via direct outreach, inbound inquiries through [email protected], and professional networks, with marketing presence limited to a portfolio website, Instagram (@cgsbstudio), and LinkedIn.
