Sassy Films Limited

What Sassy Films Limited does

Sassy Films Limited, trading as Sassy+, is a privately held UK-based creative and production agency headquartered at Elstree with a flagship London Farringdon studio and a North American footprint anchored by ADVNCR and the 66,700-square-foot Victory Studios in Glendale, California. The company was rebranded from Sassy Create and operates under Sassy Films Limited and Through The I Limited, with Censuswide functioning as a sister-company market research entity. It serves enterprise brands and established organizations across automotive, technology, entertainment, luxury, retail, financial services, and public sector clients including Jaguar, Honda, Bentley, LinkedIn, Audible, Amazon, Warner Bros., Mojang, ABB Robotics, Longines, Veolia, Vodafone Business, Harrods, and Boots.

Sassy+ delivers an integrated, end-to-end production model spanning advertising and marketing, corporate communications, global PR, podcasts, social media, live events and streaming, photography and design, in-house studio services, and a 2025-launched Generative AI creative service. Underlying capability is built on purpose-built production infrastructure with 12 specialist post-production suites at Elstree, a Farringdon facility featuring a green screen cove with broadcast gallery, and the LA Victory Studios complex with three soundstages, full production offices, and broadcast-grade equipment. Two proprietary technology assets underpin the offering: GlobalMediaCentre.com, a content distribution platform trusted by over 11,000 registered journalists and creators, and BroadcastCentre, an owned live streaming platform.

Revenue is generated through bespoke, project-based professional services engagements priced on scope and scale with no public rate cards; customers are acquired via direct enterprise relationships, new business enquiries, thought leadership content, and industry PR rather than paid channels. The go-to-market relies on showcasing portfolio work, case studies with documented outcomes (e.g., 500K+ live views for Jaguar, 400K+ views for the Minecraft premiere, 11,000+ journalist distribution reach), and dedicated account teams. The company is management-controlled with Managing Director Michael Semp and CFO Jothan Webb leading the integrated service model.
