Lemonade Reps has signed award-winning Brazilian animation studio Dirty Work for global representation, strengthening its international animation roster with a studio known for bold craft, emotional storytelling, and unmistakable visual worlds.
Based in São Paulo with a growing international footprint, Dirty Work has built a reputation for creating richly designed, handcrafted animation that feels as art-led as it is story-driven. Working from the ground up, the studio is celebrated for its ability to blend emotional resonance with striking design systems, producing work that stands out in both advertising and entertainment. Their films have been recognised at some of the world’s most prestigious festivals, earning acclaim for originality, craft, and creative risk-taking.
The signing marks a significant moment for Dirty Work as the studio enters a new phase of international expansion without compromising the values that define its work. Looking ahead to 2026, Dirty Work plans to deepen its focus on projects that blur the lines between animation and art direction, develop longer-form narrative work, and collaborate with agencies and brands that prioritise originality over formula.
Ito Andery, Dirty Work’s Co-Founder, commented:
“We’re really excited to announce our partnership with Lemonade. We’re ready to create new stories, get our hands dirty, and turn great ideas into fun, unexpected work.”
The signing of Dirty Work further strengthens Lemonade Reps’ global animation offering, as the company continues to build a carefully curated, international roster spanning design-led animation, character-driven storytelling and visually ambitious craft. With studios operating across multiple territories and production models, Lemonade’s animation slate is designed to support agencies and brands seeking flexible, high-end animated solutions from premium advertising work to longer-form branded storytelling.
The partnership also reflects Lemonade’s growing commitment to animation as a key creative focus, extending beyond representation through its ongoing industry engagement via Lemonade Presents’ animation film festival, Animania, taking place on 24 September - an event dedicated to championing storytelling, craft and creative innovation across the animation sector.
Corin West, Managing Director at Lemonade, added:
“Dirty Work is an awesome creative story driven studio with a plethora of animation styles. You can see the heart and soul they put into their work with style and depth shining through. It’s no wonder their work for Nike and Mercy for Animals won big in Cannes, The One Show and the Clio Awards!”
Together, Lemonade and Dirty Work will support brands and agencies looking for animated storytelling that feels human, expressive, and visually brave work that’s designed to cut through, connect emotionally, and leave a lasting impression.
