About Modem Studios
The next generation of media companies is being built differently.
But much of the infrastructure that works with talent and brings ideas to life still reflects the old model. Creators hold the attention companies spend fortunes chasing, yet the industry around them is built for the old model.
Modem Studios exists to bridge that gap. We bring the expertise and infrastructure of traditional media to the speed and innovation of creator-led media. Helping creators and media brands grow what works today while building IP and businesses they can own for the long term.
01
IP
Develop ideas into formats, channels and media properties with value beyond a single piece of content.
02
Ventures
Build businesses around proven audiences and demand, creating assets designed for creators and partners to own.
03
Creator Management
Build the commercial foundation around the creator, from partnerships and opportunities to long-term career strategy.

Harvey and Aphra built their careers on different sides of the media industry, but kept seeing the same shift.
Audiences were moving faster than the businesses built to serve them. Modem Studios brings together experience across television, digital media, creators and commercial partnerships to build the infrastructure for what comes next.

Building Modem Studios
Harvey and Aphra brought their experience across television and social-first media together after seeing the same gap: creators were building serious audiences, but the systems around them had not caught up. They built Modem Studios to give creators and audience owners the commercial support, media expertise and systems to build more valuable businesses over time.
Since then, they have worked with brands including Dell, Nike and Burberry, packaged brand partnerships for the creators they work with, and helped creators turn their content into full-time careers. Today, Modem Studios works with creators across the UK and US, develops original IP for broadcasters and streamers, and launches creator-led ventures including Yes The Basics.
