ABOUT TRIGGERFISH

Africa's Leading Animation Studio

Triggerfish is a community of the best creative talent from Africa, and across the world. The awards our work has won - Oscar nominations, BAFTA, Emmy, Annie and Cristal Awards - are a testament to the tenacity and passion of our team.

From the leadership to administrators, producers and creatives - here are the values that bring us all together, help us to navigate our daily journey, and guide the studio in a common direction. We don’t always get it right, but when we fall short we try to understand what went wrong so we can find ways to do it better. 

We inspire

We inspire and encourage everyone to be the best they can be - our creatives, our technical and support staff, our partners, our audiences.

We show respect

We always act with humility, seeking to understand the points of view of others, creating a safe culture where everyone’s ideas are valued, regardless of their background, experience or role in the studio. We encourage people to express their creative instincts without fear so that we can all present ourselves authentically to each other.

We value teamwork

We constantly teach and encourage those around us. We share knowledge openly. We look for opportunities to delegate and share–what we’re doing is so much bigger than us. We encourage everyone to be the best they can be–our creatives, our technical and support staff, our partners, and even our audiences. 

We are courageous

We lead and act boldly and decisively, innovating and exploring solutions beyond the mainstream. We take on new work that is beyond our comfort zone so that we can grow as we learn. We have the courage to respectfully speak truth to colleagues when they need to hear it, even when it’s hard. Equally we have the courage to hear and take on criticism. 

We seek excellence

We strive for excellence–in ourselves and in our teams–making the most with what we have. Our resources are limited, so we work smartly, ensuring we're constantly adding the best value to our work and our teams. We’re constantly looking for improvements through disciplined efficiency, not working longer hours, bringing our best work to entertain and inspire our audiences around the world.
