“With an unrivaled ability to connect with youth culture and access to a vast network of talented creators, Fourth Frame Studios is positioned to shake up the digital content space in a major way,” said Femi Okusanya, Head of Studio, Fourth Frame Studios. “We’re committed to telling stories from different points of view and creating culturally impactful entertainment that is representative of gamers and their broader interests.”

The studio offers a full suite of creative resources and production services to better position brands within digital ecosystems. This includes creating premium long-form and short-form video content, curating and executing experiential in-person events, and concepting digital products and experiences, such as designing AR and VR environments in the metaverse.

Fourth Frame Studios comprises a diverse team of experienced creatives. Actor, singer, dancer, and musician Jordan Fisher will join the Fourth Frame Studios team as Creative Advisor for Original IP Development to inform the studio’s expansion into original programming for TV and streaming platforms. Former 100 Thieves VP of Marketing and brand executive at Adidas and Activision, Mark Rasoul, will support the launch of Fourth Frame Studios as Strategic Brand Consultant.
