Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, has announced the launch of Studio 59, a new inhouse creative and content studio designed to strengthen how the brand creates, produces and distributes content across all channels. Studio 59 will open its doors in April 2026. 

The new studio is being created in response to the rapid shift in the marketing and media landscape, with demand for timely, relevant and culturally attuned content growing across digital platforms.  

By expanding its in‑house capability, Allwyn can accelerate content creation and simplify workflows, enabling teams to brief, create and deliver with greater clarity. This approach enhances the way Allwyn works with its agency partners, ensuring it is collaborating in smarter, more focused ways across campaigns and platforms.

Studio 59 will unite creative, content, social, production, planning and brand marketing into a single integrated structure, supporting three core areas of the business: Retail, Digital, and Communications and Earned, ensuring stronger earned storytelling and cultural engagement.

The studio is named after The National Lottery’s flagship Lotto game, where players select six numbers from 1 to 59 — a nod to one of the UK’s most recognisable draws and to the breadth of creative work Studio 59 will oversee.

Allwyn will continue to work closely with its existing agencies, including VCCP and Hearts & Science, particularly on major creative platforms and strategic planning. Studio 59 has been developed in partnership with The Creative Engineers (a Production Works company).

Steve Parkinson, Marketing and Brand Director, Allwyn UK, said:  “The media landscape continues to evolve, with new formats, digital channels and audience expectations shaping how brands show up. To meet that challenge, we need to move faster, collaborate more closely, and bring more capability inhouse. Studio 59 allows us to do that.  It gives us a more flexible, accountable model that strengthens our content creation and helps us show up more confidently in UK culture. Ultimately, it’s about returning more to Good Causes.”
