As it looks to expand into new business areas both locally and globally, Altrincham, England-based animation studio Factory Transmedia has rebranded as Factory, complete with a new website.

The new look, designed by Manchester-based studio Instruct, follows a period of growth that saw the company work with major industry players like CBBC, CBeebies and Disney.

Over the course of six months, Instruct has worked with Factory on the rebrand. The redesign will be incorporated into Factory’s new larger office that will accommodate its growing staff.

Strange Hill High, Factory’s co-production with CBBC and FremantleMedia Kids & Family Entertainment, recently won an RTS North West award and was nominated for a Children’s BAFTA.

The animation studio is currently in production with stop-motion series Scream Street, a co-production with CBBC and Coolabi, as well as stop-motion/CGI special We Wish You a Merry Walrus for Disney.
