History
Launched on December 21, 2005,[4] Awesome Inc began as a motion design studio, primarily focused on the creation of promos, commercials, and network packaging. In 2011, Awesome Inc became the studio of record to animate and composite Adult Swim's satire-comedy Squidbillies, which continued to run for another 10 seasons before concluding in November 2021. Awesome Inc also animated and composited 4 seasons of Adult Swim's Aqua Teen Hunger Force.[5]
Upon the departure of Drew Tyndell as Creative Director and co-owner in 2013, Awesome Inc became a certified woman-owned business led by Ashley Kohler as President / CEO.[6] In February 2021, Awesome Inc was tapped by ViacomCBS (now Paramount Global) to produce its first animated feature film Jodie.[7]
