History
Stinkdigital was founded in January 2009 as an interactive production company by Mark Pytlik,[1] and Daniel Bergmann, Founder and Executive Producer of global film production company Stink. The company opened with a small office of five people. Its first project, done with Tribal DDB Amsterdam, was Carousel (advertisement), an interactive long form internet film for Philips to promote Philips Cinema 21:9 TV[2]. Carousel went on to win the Film Grand Prix at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity that year.[3]
In April 2010, the company opened their second office in New York City, USA.[4]
In December 2012, the company opened their third office in Paris, France.
In June 2014, the company opened their fourth office in Berlin, Germany.[5]
In January 2015, the company opened their fifth office in Los Angeles, USA.[6]
In January 2017, Stinkdigital rebranded to Stink Studios. Regarding the decision to unite the companies, founder Daniel Bergmann said, "The integration of Stinkdigital and the Studios' brand is an exciting and strategic move but it's not driven by efficiencies. Nor is it coming out of the blue -- it's part of Stink's long-term plan to become a truly integrated new type of company offering to clients and audiences a state-of-the-art product in the digital and branded content space." Stink Studios is a global creative studio for a digital-first world and exists to help forward-thinking clients succeed in digital culture.[7]
