SOCIAL VISUALS
Social Visuals is an innovative startup dedicated to exploring and applying the latest creative technologies. Founded by Andor Merks in London, UK, in 2020, we expanded internationally in 2022 with the opening of our first overseas branch in Kingston, Jamaica.
Our mission is to navigate the fast-paced digital landscape with a focus on inclusivity, creativity, and social impact. We prioritize solutions that are not only cutting-edge, but also accessible and beneficial to communities and individuals alike.
CREATIVE LAB
We operate as a creative laboratory, continually researching and experimenting with new technologies. We work across disciplines, blending art, technology, and social values to shape a more imaginative and equitable future. By leveraging our cutting-edge capabilities, we foster future talent, enrich our art collaborations, and serve commercial clients.
Research & Experimentation
From Generative AI to gaming and immersive (AR, VR) technologies, we focus on the most promising fields for creative innovation. Through R&D projects, market research, and artistic experiments, we continuously expand our knowledge and update our production capabilities.
Education & Community
Our mission is to make the tech scene more inclusive and accessible. We equip young talent with the insights they need to navigate the global creative industry and access its cutting-edge opportunities. As technology evolves, skills can quickly become outdated. Staying current is essential for building a future-proof career, and through mentoring, internships, and community building, we help emerging talent develop the mindset and network needed to succeed!
Art & Social
We run our own art initiatives to push the boundaries of digital art and collaborate with independent artists who use the latest technology in their work. Believing in the transformative power of art, we encourage creatives to engage in social projects that use their skills and talents to make a positive impact. We host creative events in children’s homes and inner-city communities, bringing arts and crafts, music jams, and puppet theater to those who benefit most from these enriching experiences.
Commercial Work
Our commercial studio, Three Aces Studios, collaborates with market-leading brands in the UK and the US, empowering them to leverage the latest creative technology in marketing and advertising. We've developed groundbreaking campaigns for brands like Red Bull, Coke, The Weeknd, and Mercedes. To learn more, please visit our dedicated website threeaces.co.uk.
Culture & Community
We believe that a human-centered culture and a supportive community are essential foundations for any creative endeavor. Our philosophy places people above profit and human values ahead of technology. Our key principles include:
Team and Inclusion
We foster a collaborative environment where every team member contributes and learns from one another. Collaboration is valued over competition, and we emphasize building friendships and a strong community.
Personal Development
We encourage personal growth and learning from mistakes. Admitting errors is seen as a step toward improvement. Together, we aim to grow while finding our true calling and fostering organic motivation.
Mental and Physical Health
We prioritize eco-friendly practices and promote health and well-being through exercise opportunities, creative breaks, healthy lunches and mindfulness.
These values guide our operations and help create a nurturing environment where everyone can thrive.
