Strategic advisory for studios, publishers, and creative investors across games, animation, and emerging markets.
25 years of industry experience. One firm.
Llama & Griffin Consultants is a boutique advisory firm serving game studios, publishers, animation companies, and creative investors. We work across market entry strategy, funding navigation, localization, partnership development, and publishing agreements, with particular depth in MENA and emerging market contexts.
The firm is built on the belief that the best studios often get the worst deals, and that the gap between a good idea and a sustainable business is usually a strategy problem, not a talent problem.
