We are delighted to welcome Stephen Pipe to the Butter family!

Stephen is a multi award-winning, comedy titan who finds the funny in everything. His hilarious TVCs and television work is grounded in relatable, funny situations.

Stephen started working the same year that ‘Chicken Tonight’ first hit the shelves and spent many years working at London’s top advertising agencies as a clever creative, before jumping to the other side.

Oh yeah, he’s also gut wrenchingly funny. Or as we say a Good Craic Pipe… but we will leave the comedy to him.

We are delighted to welcome JAK to the Butter roster. Having cut their teeth in VFX/editing (Katie) and graphic design/ creative direction (Jo), they are both makers at heart and love being hands-on - editing, designing, photoshopping, after-effectsing - anything they need to do to get the job done and craft amazing, fun, of-the-moment work.

We are delighted to welcome them to Butter

We are excited to welcome Daniel de Viciola to the Butter roster!
Daniel’s work mixes striking visuals with seamless technical virtuosity, effortlessly weaving live action and photo-real 3D elements. Daniel has long played with artful experimentation in many forms, from book design to illustration; in his evolution as a director his work has retained that focus on craft and meticulous attention to detail.
Daniel’s work is known for its movement. One motion leading into the next, one image striking another like a string of dominoes - he creates poetic and choreographed films where every shot and every move has a distinct reason for being.
Daniel is a Uruguayan Swede, based in Stockholm, working all over the world. And surfing when he has time.

Welcome to the team Daniel!
