StarBox plays pivotal role in sale of The Fellas Studio to Global
In just a few years, The Fellas Studio has built some of the most talked-about Gen Z shows in the UK, reaching millions across YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and social platforms. Each podcast has purpose-built studio sets that reflect its tone and personality. Their partnership with Global will further strengthen and expand their offering to this dynamic and creative market.
StarBox partner, Nick Tebb, commented: “This deal is a fantastic milestone for the StarBox team and is testament to the talent and drive of the founders of The Fellas Studio and our close working relationship with them. For 12 years, we’ve been immersing ourselves in this fast-paced and unique sector, honing our skills. It’s been great to support this ambitious production company which is at the forefront of the evolving podcast industry.”
“We blend traditional corporate finance and tax support – due diligence support, contract negotiations and business planning – with our knowledge and passion for this exponentially-growing sector. We speak the language, understand the nuances of the market, and support our clients to monetise their talents.”
StarBox founder and consultant, Sam Uwins, has worked with The Fellas Studio for many years, even appearing as a guest in their podcasts. He added: “These guys are so talented and energetic; they’re achieving phenomenal results and we’re proud to be working with them.”
Callum Airey (Calfreezy), CEO and Co-Founder at The Fellas Studios, said: “The future of this space is incredibly exciting. With Global sharing our ambition and drive, and with StarBox providing us with invaluable advice and support, we are confident about what lies ahead.”
Josh Larkin (The Burnt Chip), Chief Creative Officer and Co-Founder at The Fellas Studios, said: “We’re incredibly proud of how the business has grown into one of the UK’s leading podcast production houses. Partnering with Global gives us the scale, resources, and expertise to take our work to the next level.”
StarBox’s Nick Tebb added: “Throughout the dealings, the Fellas Studio appreciated that we could facilitate conversations between these creative entrepreneurs, Global and the various professional advisers, breaking down complex financial and legal concepts into relatable and digestible concepts that resonated with all the key players.
“The explosive growth of the content creator/influencer sector has led to these businesses becoming a vital element of the new media world, and the future is extremely exciting.”
