Founded in 2006 by Creative Directors Piers Helm and Stephanie Porter, Creative Nuts quickly became one of the industry’s leading studios for original, imaginative title sequences, promos, and programme branding.
Our core team includes Andy Craggs, Art Director and Lead Creative, and Natalie Hazelden, Head of Production and Operations, who oversees all our live event work.
Our expertise spans a wide range of creative disciplines — from developing iconic TV logos for shows such as Strictly Come Dancing, The Fortune Hotel, Kitchen Nightmares, Perfect Match, and Masterchef to producing promos for Dispatches, major sports tournaments including Rugby and Cricket World Cups, and Channel 4 Programmes such as Gogglebox and First Dates, and high-profile live events such as The Champions Show and EA FC game launches.
We create standout work across broadcast, streaming, live events, and social media campaigns, always tailored to captivate audiences and elevate brands.
Over the years, our passion for creativity has been recognised with numerous accolades, including International PROMAX, Royal Television Society, and Broadcast Tech Awards. Each award is a proud testament to our commitment to excellence.
At Creative Nuts, collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. We love partnering with clients, sharing ideas, and turning creative visions into reality.

Working with Piers, Natalie & the Creative Nuts team has been a wonderful experience all around. While working on Perfect Match & The Ultimatum their whole team was always so quick to respond and very accommodating when it came to turnaround. I wholeheartedly recommend them for any of your motion graphics needs and I look forward to working with them again.
