About Zulubot:
Zulubot is the integrated production studio of Zulu Alpha Kilo. With a multidisciplinary team of editors, developers, AI specialists, motion designers, graphic artists, and producers, Zulubot brings ideas to life through nimble, full-spectrum production, from live shoots to post-production, motion design, creator collaborations, and AI powered content solutions.
Born out of client demand for faster, more nimble production, Zulubot was launched a decade ago to meet the needs of modern content creation. What began as a future-forward idea is now a 30+ person strong studio that includes edit suites, an audio suite, photography capabilities, and a multidisciplinary team of editors, developers, motion designers, graphic artists, and producers.
Over the past decade, Zulubot has helped bring to life some of the agency’s most innovative and talked-about work. From producing and building more than 100 AR lenses for brands on Snapchat, to editing documentary films like the award-winning “Harley-Davidson: Common Ground” and Tim Hortons’ “The Away Game”, Zulubot has always pushed the boundaries of content and craft. For New York-based SingleCut Beersmiths, the team created Notes IPA—the first beer that teaches you how to play guitar using augmented reality.
With over 10 years under our belt, we’re looking to take Zulubot to the next level by expanding our AI capabilities and imbedding AI creation within our team.
