What JOAN STUDIOS LTD does

JOAN Studios LTD is an independent, female-founded full-service content creation studio headquartered at 44 Wall Street in New York. The firm produces integrated marketing campaigns across film/video, photography, digital/web, print/OOH, motion graphics, creative development, experiential/activation, and social & influencer management for brand clients. It was founded in 2017 as part of JOAN Hold Co and operates alongside sister firm JOAN Creative within the JOAN network.

The studio's service catalog is structured as a single unified offering rather than a modular platform, providing end-to-end creative execution for enterprise brands. It runs an in-house Business Affairs team covering the US, UK, and EMEA, supporting cross-region production and celebrity procurement. Differentiation rests on portfolio quality, industry recognition, and certifications — WBENC Women's Business Enterprise and GreenTheBid sustainability — which support diversity-sourcing and ESG-aware brand procurement criteria.

JOAN Studios serves a diversified roster of enterprise clients including Google, eBay, Mattel, S&P Global, Virgin Hotels, European Wax Center, Graduate Hotels, Complex Magazine, Sheetz, HexClad, Icelandic Provisions, Maxwell House, Brawny, Zumba, and AdCouncil, with a smaller tail of SMB and nonprofit work (Amazon Small Business Academy, ZenBusiness, Queens Community House). Revenue is generated through custom, quote-based project engagements acquired via direct outreach, portfolio/case studies, industry recognition, and inbound inquiries (info@ and newbiz@ email channels). No public pricing, funding, or revenue disclosures exist; the company is privately held under JOAN Hold Co with no outside investors identified.
