creative production, art buying and brand consultancy
About us
theArcade Ltd is the bridge between creative production, brand consultancy and art buying on a global scale for print and moving image projects.
With fifteen years of expertise in photography, film and art, our team offers bespoke services for a range of clients and fashion brands. Assembling teams from a vast network, our approach is artistic and considered, delivering the highest quality of work from conception to creation.
We see each project as an individual piece of art. From a global advertising campaign to linear editorial we bring the same confidence and commitment to quality, design and detail.
