Digital Kitchen is a creative digital agency with offices in Seattle, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Founded in 1995, the award-winning agency is a collective of artists and producers that focus on the creation of integrated connections between brands and consumers in converging media. Much of Digital Kitchen's work has consisted of design, motion graphics and film work within the commercial, network and entertainment industries. The agency has been recognized for its main title works: True Blood, Dexter, Six Feet Under and Nip/Tuck. Digital Kitchen has worked as a full-service creative agency for clients such as HBO, AT&T U-verse, Target, Levi Strauss, Microsoft, and Sierra Nevada Brewing Company.
Housed within Digital Kitchen, DK Studios is a streamlined production team for Advertising and Entertainment clients.
In October 2014, Digital Kitchen merged with Seattle-based communications design firm Methodologie. On June 2, 2015 Digital Kitchen was acquired by kyu, the strategic operating unit of Hakuhodo DY Holdings,[2] which is currently headed by CEO Michael Birkin.
