About me

Antonia Bonello is a Creative Director for BuzzFeed UK. She joined the company in 2014 after her BuzzFeed commissioned '14 Most Brutal Deaths In Game Of Thrones As 8-Bit GIFs' animation went viral. Antonia works with brands to create engaging content on BuzzFeed's platforms, as well as leading BuzzFeed's media brands in the UK: Proper Tasty, Bring Me!, Nifty, As/Is and Goodful.

Specialising in retro 8-bit animation, Antonia has reimagined Orange Is The New Black, Game Of Thrones, Friends, and even her daily commute on the tube network as hilariously charming pixel art. She doesn't just do 8-bit though. Antonia has worked on countless branded content campaigns for major brands which include Google, Nike, Netflix, Disney, Sky, eBay, Diageo, and Nestlé. She has created Snapchat games for Aviva, and even trained as a stuntwoman for Churchill Insurance.

Antonia's work in advertising has led her to being named in Forbes 30 Under , Media Week 30 Under , The Drum's 50 Under 30, and one of 100 Significant Women In Native Advertising 2018. She's also been shortlisted for Design Week Awards Rising Star 2016, The Drum Content Awards for Best Branded Content Campaign 2017, and won Silver at the Media Week Awards for BuzzFeed's partnership with Alzheimer's Society charity group.

Oh, she's also a black belt in karate and loves Batman.
