Production Companies
Where to start when you need to find a production company? The scale of the industry is now overwhelming, with the screen sector booming like never before, and the onward march of the SVoDs continuing apace.
Some companies still specialise in either feature film or scripted TV drama, but as audience choice has become more to do with on-demand and less to do with linear viewing, so the prodcos have shape-shifted when it comes to producing scripted content across genres.
There is also a vast tranche of non-scripted production companies out there, producing documentaries, entertainment, factual, reality and more. To say nothing of the long-running world of commercials and music video production.
Through The Knowledge you can find details on all the production companies focused on the particular area you’re interested in, and with our Production Intelligence (PI) platform you can get a detailed perspective on the (scripted) projects they are working on.
Stay bang up-to-date with PI’s real-time monitoring of live projects in development, pre-production or production, review previous projects they have worked on, and find the contact details of the decision-makers who may be interested in the services you or your business have to offer. Basically, it’s all about putting you in front of the right people at the right time.Â

Feature film production companies
Feature film prodcos vary enormously in scale and scope. The bigger ones – with larger budgets and deeper pockets – can often work on multiple projects at a time, whereas the smaller ones often focus on one film from early development through to post-production.
TV production companies
Often having the capacity to produce numerous TV shows at once, these production companies are well-oiled machines that need countless services from outside suppliers to keep them going. Some are small, others are massive with huge workforces or are members of much larger groups, and then there are the TV production companies that are the in-house production arms of broadcasting behemoths such as the BBC or ITV.
Commercial production companies
These specialist production companies help to create every form of TV, cinematic and online advertising footage. They are used to rapid turnarounds, tight deadlines and volume work, so they often have many projects on the go at once.
Specialist production companies
These production companies have made the strategic decision to stay lean and mean, focusing on just a single niche area of the industry. They may specialise in the production of music videos, animated footage and films, digital production or corporate communications.
