A collaborative creative company marrying a multi-disciplinary central team with an ever-growing talent network | more... It marries a multi-disciplinary central team with an ever-growing family of creative practitioners and specialist agency partners. more...

Established in 2001; YCN today produces design, branding, advertising, products and much else besides - both for its own projects and ventures, and on behalf of diverse clients.

A multi-disciplinary central team of designers, art directors, strategists, writers, and project managers work together at 72 Rivington Street in London. We're always recruiting, and love to hear from anyone interested in joining the team.

Additionally, YCN represents a roster of illustrators, animation directors and other creative practitioners - promoting their work and facilitating commissions day to day. Through our longstanding awards and development programmes we are able to identify the best emerging talent from around the world, and welcome it into our network.

Such a structure enables YCN to quickly shape project teams around the specific requirements of any creative brief; blending planning, creative development and execution. Consequently our output is rich and diverse - from helping a branding agency find illustrators, to ourselves re-branding an insurance company; from naming a pub and designing its interiors, to developing an integrated ad campaign for the best tasting beer behind its bar

We love to hear about new opportunities and can be called on +44 (0)20 7033 2140 or emailed at studio@ycnonline.com. Downstairs at 72 Rivington Street is open publicly from 10am daily and includes a shop, gallery and lending library.
