One of Studio Griggs' projects in 2024 saw Stephanie leading the delivery and direction of a marketing and merchandise style guide for the new Wallace & Gromit film 'Vengeance Most Fowl', which will premiere at Christmas on BBC One and iPlayer, and will be available on Netflix soon after . Stephanie discusses this project in more detail in an interview with Brands Untapped.

"[Wallace & Gromit was] a true dream project. I basically ate, slept, and breathed Vengeance Most Fowl for nine months, so it's beyond exciting seeing the public reaction with each trailer that's released. I'm also delighted to see that it has, deservingly, just got 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. The buzz is massive – it's the first Wallace & Gromit film in 16 years!"
