ABOUT ZOOKEEPER
We bring characters to life.
Zookeeper is an animation studio focused on character development that produces essential intellectual property for leading global brands. We design iconic figures—mascots, spokespersons, and heroes for campaigns—that brands can base their entire empires on. Our characters not only drive sales but also foster loyalty, create fan bases, and support entire marketing strategies. We transform characters into highly profitable assets. In today’s competitive landscape, brands that endure are those that cultivate relationships. From inception to enduring legacy, we create memorable characters that engage audiences and keep them coming back. These enduring brand assets allow companies to grow and dominate their respective markets. We have collaborated with clients such as Nike, Fox Sports, NBC, Komatsu, and Conan O’Brien by developing captivating content that attracts attention, engages younger audiences, and nurtures dedicated followers.
