A big moment for us: we’ve acquired Stereo Creative, a 60-person international creative studio with teams across London, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland and Dubai.

Koto has acquired Stereo Creative, the first company to join the newly formed Koto Group. The acquisition brings together 230 people across eight studios and adds greater depth across campaigns and ongoing content production.
Stereo has built a strong track record across sport, entertainment, consumer and technology, with long-standing relationships including Nike, Arsenal, FIFA, EA Sports, Twitch, Ripple and Bumble. Its experience will help Koto support more of the brand journey, from defining what a brand stands for to bringing it to life through digital experiences, campaigns and the work people see every day.
For Koto, this marks the next chapter after 11 consecutive years of growth and work for brands including Amazon, Microsoft, Instagram and Whatsapp. It broadens what the group can offer while staying focused on what has driven that growth: ambitious ideas, excellent craft and close client partnerships.
The fit goes beyond what each company does. Koto and Stereo share the same commitment to independent thinking and high-quality creative work. Stereo is the first of several planned acquisitions of founder-led creative companies that share those standards, setting the direction for how Koto's new global studio network will grow.
