Builders Club

Immersive worlds, boundless ideas

The globally operating Builders Club creative studio was founded in 2015 by Jonas Hegi and Julien Simshauser. As experienced creatives and directors, they both enjoy working at the intersection of reality and surrealism, flipping between live action, CGI, design and AI to create impressively immersive visual worlds, films and campaigns for the fashion, beauty, art and culture sectors. With a team of 24 employees, they invariably manage to reconcile their high artistic standards with solution-oriented ideas. Numerous award-winning projects attest to that.

For us, solving creative challenges is less about following a formula and more about finding new perspectives, every time.
