History

Antfood was founded in 2007 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York City, by Wilson Brown, an artist, creative entrepreneur, and Emmy-nominated songwriter, composer, and producer Polly Hall.

in 2008 Antfood moved from its original Williamsburg location to a 3000 sq. ft. loft in South Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York City, near the Domino Sugar Refinery at 221 Jackson Street.

In 2008 Sean McGovern joined Antfood as Executive Producer.

In 2012, Antfood expanded and opened its first overseas location in São Paulo, Brazil at Rua Gonçalo Afonso, 71. Music producer, composer, sound designer, and instrumentalist Pedro Botsaris heads up the São Paulo location as Executive Creative Director and Partner.

In 2017, Antfood opened its second overseas location in Amsterdam, Netherlands at Achtergracht 17–19, 1017 WL. Antfood's Amsterdam location was launched under the guidance of Pedro Botsaris. 

In 2021, ViacomCBS commissioned Antfood to create a five-note sound mark tying in several decades' worth of network identification bumpers that simply announced "This is CBS".[4] CBS then turned to Antfood to work the motif into themes for its news programs, including those on the local stations owned by the network, eventually eliminating the old "Channel 2 News" theme from Dick Marx that had been in near-continuous use since 1975.[5]
