History
T Brand Studio was founded in early 2014. In 2015, the studio opened an office in London, with plans to use that office for expansion into the rest of the world, including Asia.
In March 2016, the New York Times bought Santa Monica, California-based Pinterest marketing company HelloSociety for an undisclosed amount, and it was announced that the company would be integrated with T Brand Studio.
Operations
The studio staff consists of journalists, video producers, technologists, strategists and social media experts. As of October 2015, the group had developed over 100 campaigns for more than 50 different brands. It was reported that almost 20% of the New York Times' digital advertising revenue came from T Brand Studio projects. That was estimated to be $35.7 million in 2014.
