T Brand Studio is a custom content studio that is a unit of The New York Times and produces paid native advertising for the newspaper.[1][2] Notable campaigns have included a feature called "Woman Inmates: Why The Male Model Doesn't Work" to promote the Netflix program Orange Is The New Black,[3] and a feature on the New York City Ballet for footwear company Cole Haan entitled "Grit and Grace".[4][5]

History

[edit source]

T Brand Studio was founded in early 2014.[1] 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.[5]

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.[6]

In June 2017, T Brand Studio opened its Asian branch in Hong Kong.[7]

Operations

[edit source]

The studio staff consists of journalists, video producers, technologists, strategists and social media experts.[8] As of October 2015, the group had developed over 100 campaigns for more than 50 different brands.[5] 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.[5]
