TellyCast Digital Video Awards 2026 named After Party Studios as Studio of the Year in the evening’s prestigious final category, recognising outstanding creative success, audience impact and sustained business momentum across the past year.
The award marked the closing moment of the ceremony, celebrating a studio that judges said had delivered an exceptional combination of creativity, innovation and cultural relevance across branded content, entertainment and sports formats.
Founded by a YouTuber and a film director, After Party Studios has built a reputation for creator-first, platform-native storytelling designed to travel across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and broadcast partnerships. Its work spans original entertainment formats such as Don’t Get Catfished, also a winner on the night, sports productions including Scenes for Sky Sports, and large-scale live collaborations such as the Sidemen Charity Match 2025, which raised £4.7 million for charity.
Over the past year, the studio has continued to expand its footprint across digital entertainment and branded storytelling, delivering campaigns for major partners including Netflix, Channel 4.0, Just Eat and O2. Highlights include the viral Stranger Things: A Strangely British Christmas Dinner activation, and the cinematic launch of Rodd’s Coffee, which sold out initial stock following its release film.
The award also recognised the studio’s internal culture, including its emphasis on diverse teams, in-house creative agility and innovative production tools.
