About Televisual

Launched in 1982 to coincide with the launch of Channel 4, Televisual’s focus has always been on television, film and commercials production from commissioning trends through development, shoot, studios, VFX and post to final master through the voices and experience of the industry’s leading business, creative and technical practitioners.

That access and community sit at the heart of everything Televisual does across print, digital, research, events and film production.

  • Televisual magazine provides depth, context and benchmark industry knowledge, always with an emphasis on change and what’s next
  • televisual.com and the Televisual Daily Newsletter keep the UK production community up to date from greenlit productions and company news to people on the move, technology updates and behind the scenes features
  • The Televisual Bulldog Awards celebrate the best of British television and film through a unique industry-led awards programme
  • The Televisual Exchange creates serious, candid industry conversations and true thought leadership reports
  • The Televisual Village Fete brings the production, post and VFX community together
  • Televisual Films turns the same editorial knowledge and production expertise into moving-image content

There is a single common thread that runs through all these activities. Every Televisual platform is built around the same UK production community and the same direct relationship with the people who make, manage, commission, finance and deliver content. For advertisers and sponsors, that access and engagement create a joined-up way to connect through print, digital, events, research-led content and film.

TELEVISUAL MAGAZINE

Televisual is a quarterly industry magazine with an unerring focus on how television, film and commercials are made. Editorial follows the complete production process: commissioning and development, funding and production economics, the shoot, studios and production technology, workflow, edit, VFX, grade, audio and final delivery.

Benchmark surveys such as the Production 100, Facilities 50 and Commercials 30 sit alongside Genre and Focus Reports, role-specific industry surveys, interviews with senior business leaders, craft interviews, production close-ups and detailed coverage of post, VFX, technology and workflow.

More than 4,000 copies are mailed each quarter on publication, with total print and digital distribution above 4,300. The circulation is deliberately concentrated around senior business, creative, operational and technical decision-makers across production companies, broadcasters, studios, post, VFX and the wider production supply chain, and, unusually, including senior freelance production executives. Televisual+ extends the magazine through a searchable digital archive, downloadable PDFs and online access to subscriber-only editorial.

TELEVISUAL BESPOKE CONTENT & ADVOCACY

Televisual also creates research-led commercial content for companies that need more than a conventional advertisement. That ranges from double-page case studies and extended company profiles to sponsored features, customer stories, one-off supplements and bespoke magazines. Televisual can handle research, interviews, copy writing, design and final delivery.

For case studies, profiles, bespoke publications or a joined-up print and digital proposal, email james@televisual.com.

TELEVISUAL.COM & THE DAILY NEWSLETTER

televisual.com is Televisual’s open-access daily news and features website for the UK television, film and commercials production community. The editorial team publishes up to ten stories each weekday across production, commissioning, post, VFX, studios, technology, craft and company news. Between 1 August 2025 and 31 July 2026, televisual.com recorded 1.99 million page impressions, up 12% year-on-year.

The Televisual Daily Newsletter takes that news directly to more than 8,750 GDPR-compliant industry recipients every weekday. Bot-filtered engagement is exceptionally strong: open rates average around 61%, with click-through from sent averaging around 8% over the past year and 9% in July 2026. Website and newsletter advertising can be combined with Sponsored Features, editorial film sponsorship and other content-led campaigns.

THE TELEVISUAL BULLDOG AWARDS

The Televisual Bulldog Awards are Televisual’s long-running annual celebration of the best UK television and film production. The difference is the vote: the winners are chosen by the production community rather than a small judging panel. The programme starts with the previous year’s nominations in print and industry-wide online voting. Last year over 3,500 production executives voted for the best of British television and film. Rather than the expected prize-giving over many hours, the winners are announced ahead of the exclusive and glamorous Gala Dinner celebrations for sponsors and winning production teams at the Hotel Café Royal on December 8th.

For sponsors, the Bulldogs combine recognition, direct customer engagement and sustained visibility across Televisual magazine, televisual.com, newsletters, the voting programme and the final celebration.

THE TELEVISUAL EXCHANGE

The Televisual Exchange brings carefully curated groups of senior practitioners together for candid, business-led discussions around critical issues changing production, post and VFX. The format includes an exclusive invitation-only dinner for up to 16 people. Each Exchange is independently chaired by Televisual and built around a clearly defined question rather than a product presentation.

The result is shared experience, a genuine exchange of views and practical insight from people who rarely have time to explore the same problem together. Televisual then publishes an authoritative report, extending the value beyond the room and stimulating further debate and discussion.

THE TELEVISUAL VILLAGE FETE

The Televisual Village Fete is Televisual’s annual invitation-led gathering of the production, post and VFX community. The event deliberately replaces the conventional conference or exhibition floor with conversations, food, bars, games and a relaxed afternoon in the magnificent Regent’s University Gardens. The result is an unusually informal way for senior clients, suppliers, collaborators and technologists to spend meaningful time together.

The 2026 Village Fete was the largest to date, with more than 820 guests and almost 700 business, technical and creative leaders from production, post, VFX, broadcasters and streamers. Sponsorship is highly visible but deliberately integrated into the experience, helping create the event rather than interrupt it.

TELEVISUAL FILMS

Televisual has been producing editorial and commercial films for two decades. Editorial work ranges from commissioner and producer interviews to production masterclasses, behind-the-scenes films, event films and specialist craft or workflow features. Commercial production ranges from sponsored editorial films to company stories, case studies, product launches and films designed to demonstrate technology in real production environments.

Televisual Films combines editorial judgement with practical production knowledge and access to leading UK production and post talent. Projects can encompass development, contributors, production, post and delivery, mastering to HDR or DCP and incorporating other specialist workflows where appropriate.

Examples: Televisual Films archive | Race Across the World Masterclass | Drive to Survive Masterclass

TAKEN TOGETHER

Televisual’s place at the heart of the UK production community, and direct access to the people who shape it, means campaigns can connect across print, digital, events and film. Each platform works differently, but together they can create integrated communications that build visibility, stimulate engagement and connect with the right people in the right context.
