A quick introduction
We work in the Entertainment Industries - although you may know us under another name...!
We've previously made Dramas for Television, Comedies and Entertainment Documentaries as well as movies like Harry Potter, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, 007 and Marvel... We've toured the world with the biggest music acts like Beyonce, Ed Sheran, Taylor Swift, the Killers and the Rolling Stones...
Welcome to our little corner of the web, we've tried to keep it simple.
We are now working on two new Ad Funded projects that combine all our previous experiences... and we're adding a major twist.... or as we call it, an ADVANTAGE over others
There is now evidence from a variety of industry sources that clearly indicates that advertiser-funded programmes (AFP) and ad-funded content models (like us)are very effective both for brands seeking marketing success and for funding the creation of content (please, go look it up for yourself) - Fact, this is now a more powerful and effective marketing tool than the more traditional (and expensive) sports sponsorships!
Unlike others its Not just "Content Production" - Its Distribution too!
But you're not really here to see all that..!
Together with the Global Television Broadcasts (various TV Networks) and the Online Exposure (again Multi Platforms), combined with alternative forms of distribution that others do NOT currently offer - these Two projects will reach 'a combined (repeatable) Annual Audience' in the Hundreds of millions of viewers.
This little site highlights some of advantages of "The Worlds Biggest Movie Tour" and "Small Talk".

Key Proof Points
Television Figures are Rising: Despite the growing trend in Social Media, Television viewing figures have continuously risen every year since 2013.
High & Growing Viewership: Ratings data (from both BARB & Nielsen) shows ad-supported TV capturing 73.6% of total viewing, with gains in share, proving its broad reach.
Brand Success & Engagement: Brands like Nike (through Sky/Coke Zero series) and Pepsi (via exported programming) have seen success, with shows driving online engagement and brand metrics.
Audience Acceptance: Viewers increasingly accept ads on premium content (streaming/linear broadcast/narrowcast), with a willingness to watch for sought-after shows, as shown by potential BBC ad-funding interest.
Shift to Integrated Experiences: Marketers value deeper integration (sponsorships, content partnerships) over just spots, driving cultural moments and brand storytelling within narratives.
Economic Viability: Advertiser-funded programming (AFP) fills funding gaps, allowing for large-scale productions and deeper audience engagement beyond traditional ad breaks.
How it Works
Branded Content: Brands fund programmes where their product/topic is naturally woven into the story (e.g., Red Bull X Fighters), creating emotional connections.
Sponsorships: Brands sponsor shows (like ad breaks in ITVX's linear streams), creating cultural touchpoints.
Integration & Ecosystems: The focus is on unified video (linear, streaming, social) where brands can create campaigns across platforms, extending beyond a single ad.
Data & Analytics: Tools like Nielsen's gauge help demonstrate real business outcomes, not just reach, convincing CMOs.
In essence, ad-funded TV works by delivering massive audiences through high-quality, integrated content that audiences are willing to watch, allowing brands to become part of the story rather than just interrupting it.
We have been taking this concept a step further than anyone else by building a "new type" of distribution network via official tourist organisations - along with Airlines, Coach companies, Ocean Liners and International Hotels across the Travel Industry - to gain unique access to an affluent mass global market containing a very high percentage of hard to reach ABC1's.
