Mickey

1. our story

it all started with a mouse.

More than 20 years ago, when the Disney Store brought Mickey and friends to the North East, it was our team who helped bring them to life. What began with character art and packaging has grown into a creative agency trusted by some of the world’s biggest entertainment and retail brands.

From our design studio in Newcastle upon Tyne, we partner with international teams across film, TV, toys, gaming, retail and consumer products – helping them turn ideas into commercially smart creative that genuinely works in the real world.

Over the years, we’ve learned that great creativity doesn’t just look good. It solves problems. It hits deadlines. It stays on budget. And it’s built with enough commercial awareness that it can actually be made.

2. about us

homegrown talent. global impact.

Blue Kangaroo is powered by a close-knit, homegrown team, many of whom have been with us for 10, 15, even 20 years. Many team members joined as juniors and built their careers here, learning the Blue Kangaroo way from the ground up.
That continuity brings something rare. A team that knows your brand inside out, and cares deeply about getting it right today, creates a shortcut to success.

We’re a low-ego, solutions-focused bunch. We support each other, we support our clients, and we pride ourselves on being adaptable, resourceful and relentlessly dependable. If there’s a problem, we’ll figure it out. If a deadline is immovable, we’ll work with you to make it happen – honestly, realistically and to a standard we’re proud of.
