History

The former logo of CDS.

Collective Digital Studio was founded in 2011 by Hollywood talent agent Michael Green. The Collective Digital Studio is a full-service YouTube partner network operating beneath management and media production company The Collective (founded 2005).[3]

On July 24, 2015, Collective Digital Studios (CDS) agreed to sell itself to ProSiebenSat.1 for $83 million. On January 27, 2016, CDS announced that it was rebranding as Studio71 so the company can operate under one unified global banner. The merger lead to Studio71 becoming the number 1 MCN in Germany and a top 5 Global MCN.

The studio has partnered with Rocketjump to create Video Game High School. CDS is equally responsible for the production of the Fred live action television show, the television productions of The High Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange and Epic Meal Empire and the anthology horror film V/H/S (2012) alongside sequel V/H/S/2 (2013).[4] As part of the YouTube Original Channel Initiative, Collective Digital Studio was funded to create BlackBoxTV – a horror and science fiction YouTube Channel. Its "I Love Makeup" channel partnered in 2015 with YouTube comedian Colleen Ballinger (aka Miranda Sings) to create a comic beauty series called How to Makeup.[5]
