Dazzle Ship

Based in London, this small studio positions itself as a metaverse IP and innovation lab rather than a conventional marketing agency, working at the intersection of NFTs, Web3, crypto and decentralised culture. The team describes decades of collective experience building culture through storytelling, animation, design and what it calls "radical creativity," drawing a link between its name and the historic "dazzle ship" camouflage technique that disrupted perception. Clients referenced in its portfolio include music and entertainment names such as Tinie Tempah, Ministry of Sound, Drone Racing League and JD Sports, indicating a focus on brands operating in music, gaming and entertainment spaces looking to enter or build within Web3 and metaverse environments. Services described cover motion graphics, animation, screen graphics, VFX and print design, alongside branding and strategy work delivered through creative campaigns and art direction. For gaming and interactive projects, the studio offers UI/UX, cinematics, and trailer and title design. Its output also includes music videos and explainer videos. A distinct strand of the business is Web3 and NFT creative production, exemplified by its own project, Broadside, a decentralised building initiative for the metaverse that has included partnerships such as one with Book.io. The studio also runs a research and development arm described as a "design lab" focused on IP development, suggesting involvement in originating and building brand or entertainment concepts rather than only executing briefs for existing ones. Services listed alongside these specialisms include SEO, web design, advertising, PR and social media marketing.
