What Gravity Media Group does

Gravity Media Group is a global provider of live broadcast facilities and production services, formed in 2000 through a management buyout and built through the integration of established broadcast houses including Gearhouse Broadcast, HyperActive Broadcast, Input Media, Chief Entertainment, Aerial Camera Systems, Boost Graphics, Origins Digital, Motionmakers, Gravity House, and (in 2024) EMG. Following the January 2024 merger of EMG and Gravity Media and 2025 brand unification, the company operates as a single integrated platform employing 2,000+ staff across 37 global locations spanning the UK, Australia, the US, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the Middle East. Its technology stack is built around SMPTE 2110 IP-based media fabric, nine global remote production centres (with MCRs, audio control, commentary booths and fast editing), an OB/flypack/DSNG fleet (Suhail, Sirius, Pictor, Nova series), specialist camera systems (wirecam, gyro stabilised gimbals, miniature cameras, UmpireCam), RF wireless infrastructure, networked 4K/HDR post-production suites, the proprietary Butlers production management platform, and a unique 60-second clipping workflow.

The company's commercial model is B2B sales-led, contracting directly with sports rightsholders, broadcasters, streaming platforms, and corporate clients on bespoke project and long-term managed service engagements. Revenue is generated across four streams: production and content services (professional services), managed media services and facilities (managed services contracts with dedicated onsite teams), equipment sales and rental of refurbished high-end broadcast hardware, and specialist digital services via Origins Digital and the White-label products (licensing/subscription). Pricing is fully custom and not publicly disclosed; contracts are multi-year, and operational scale is illustrated by ~600 projects delivered annually for Meta across four North American studios, 900 hours per year of live ITV MultiStory Media programming, and 60+ cameras deployed for Melbourne Cup 2025. Marquee relationships span UEFA (Champions League, Europa League), ITV Sport, Cricket Australia, USTA (US Open), ATP Media, Formula E, NBC Sports, and Meta.

Recent strategic activity post-2024 merger includes partnership with Green Couch Entertainment (February 2026) for premium unscripted format development, the launch of Gravity Media Creative Agency with The Good Work Quickly (May 2026), the opening of Studio W12 at the London Production Centre, and the appointment of Rudy Dendleux as Managing Director France (April 2026). The company completed refinancing of its senior debt facilities in February 2026 to support continued integration; ownership remains private with TowerBrook Capital Partners having invested in 2016. Certification posture is unusually strong for the sector: ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 accreditations, the maximum 5-leaf DPP Committed to Sustainability mark, BAFTA Albert Sustainable Supplier Directory membership (first outside broadcast company), and three consecutive years of CDP disclosure.
