| 15 February 2021 In a move that will create the eighth production company in the group, global super indie Argonon has announced the launch of Studio Leo, a brand new independent production company headed up by award-winning producer Claire Collinson-Jones. Argonon spans all the genres and is home to several production companies including Leopard USA, Bandicoot, Leopard Pictures, BriteSpark Films, Windfall Films, and Like A Shot. In December 2020, Argonon acquired Nemorin Film & Video, producers of branded content for a wide range of global brands ranging from McDonald’s to American Express. Based in London, Studio Leo complements existing labels in the group, focusing on producing high quality popular factual content for a range of broadcasters, both as standalone projects and collaborations across the group. Studio Leo builds on Collinson-Jones’ track record of nearly a decade at Hat Trick Productions, where her roles included head of factual and formats and executive producer. At the production group she was responsible for creating and delivering the long-running Channel 5 hit format Rich House, Poor House, an entertaining and emotional series with a social purpose, shedding light on inequality across the UK.
