JJ Studios

What JJ Studios does

JJ Studios operates as JJ Spaces Agency, a London-headquartered B2B location and spaces representation business founded in 1985. The company acts as an intermediary between property owners and production clients, curating a portfolio of over 1,000 production-ready spaces across the UK and Europe and matching them to film, television, advertising, photography, and event production requirements. Its core product is the JJ Spaces Platform (jjspaces.com), a searchable web directory that allows productions to browse properties by location, style, and features, supplemented by direct contact channels including phone, email, WhatsApp, and live chat.

The company generates revenue through transaction commissions and representation fees on bookings it facilitates between space owners and production clients. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with bills issued on multi-year representation contracts; the service emphasizes operational coordination — permissions, owner communication, and on-the-day logistics — rather than a self-service marketplace. The customer base spans enterprise film and television studios (Netflix, BBC, Apple TV, Warner Bros), technology and media brands (Google, SCMP), and luxury and high-street fashion houses (Dior, Vivienne Westwood, Barbour, Reebok, Next, Russell & Bromley, Karen Millen, Ben Sherman), as well as editorial publications (Vogue Arabia, YUNG Magazine, The Rake).

Underlying technology is conventional: a content-managed website with searchable space listings, imagery, and basic filters. There is no disclosed proprietary platform, AI/ML capability, or data product. The company operates with 17 employees as a privately held, independent business with no parent company, no disclosed funding rounds, and no management team publicly listed.
