What TBI Media does

TBI Media is a London-based, privately held broadcast, live show and concert production agency founded in 2007, operating from W1 London with 11–50 employees. It delivers six core service lines: large-scale broadcast live shows, theatrical productions (including cruise ship installations), globally touring concerts, annual award ceremonies, audio programming, and motion graphics through its in-house Shiny Dot Studio. Its technical stack centers on production and creative content development rather than software — comprising an on-site fully visualised recording studio for audio programme production and an in-house motion graphics division specialising in stage visuals, projection mapping and screen-based design. The agency produces over 900 hours of audio annually for the BBC and commercial broadcasters, reaching a weekly audience exceeding 7 million, and has produced high-profile events including D-Day 80 for ITV, Team GB and ParalympicsGB Homecoming ceremonies, Queen Rock Symphonic and Led Zeppelin Symphonic international tours, and theatrical productions for Celebrity Cruises.

TBI Media monetises through project-based professional services, charging enterprise clients — primarily UK public and commercial broadcasters, large consumer brands, lottery operators and cruise lines — on a quote basis for end-to-end content production. Revenue streams are diversified across broadcast commissions (BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky, Disney), commercial radio partnerships (Bauer Media, Global Radio), live event and touring work (TEG Europe as promoting partner), and brand-funded productions (National Lottery, Celebrity Cruises, Team GB). Its go-to-market is relationship-driven and event-led: TBI responds to commissioning briefs, leverages a 20-year BBC track record as social proof, and converts repeat engagements into annual recurring formats (e.g., Magic at the Musicals, National Lottery Big Bash, British Arrows Awards). The company also distributes content through digital platforms including YouTube, BBC Sounds, Apple and Audible, extending the reach of its audio and podcast productions beyond traditional broadcast.
