Buck Opens New London Office

Buck is expanding in Europe with a new office in London and has hired James Britton as Executive Producer to lead its UK team.

Buck’s recent expansion is hardly surprising. The company’s commercial work is unique and often entertaining, and the company has ambitions to expand its narrative output as well. The company produced several episodes of Netflix’s Emmy-winning special We the People and it will launch its first video game,  Later this summer.

The new London office is BUCK’s second location in Europe, following the opening of its Amsterdam office in 2021. BUCK, which also has locations in Los Angeles, New York, and Sydney, now has five offices globally.

Britton will lead a stellar team in the UK, including Associate Creative Director Jen Zhang, Senior Producer Jamey Kitchens, Animation Director Joe Brooks, Senior Designer and Animator Bianca Beneduci, and a seasoned creative team spanning design, animation, branding and experience with Creative Leadership under ECD and partner, Vincent Lammers.

Britton’s work as a sustainability champion will bolster BUCK’s efforts in this space as it pursues its B Corp certification. Britton brings with him certifications as a B Leader with B Corp UK and experience as a non-executive advisor to the carbon measurement start-up, Zevero.

Britton said: “For many years, I’ve admired Buck’s commitment to craft and artistry. I’m looking forward to growing our team of diverse talent to bring brands, stories, and experiences to life here in the U.K. There’s so much creative talent here—not just in London but across the U.K., from Brighton to Bristol, Manchester to Glasgow, and everywhere in between.”

Emily Rickard, President at BUCK, said: “After immense success building our Amsterdam team under the leadership of ECD and partner Vincent Lammers, James is the perfect choice to continue BUCK’s global expansion in the UK market. There’s a lot of opportunity with clients and talent and James brings deep knowledge across both areas.”
