What Nutmeg Productions does

Nutmeg Productions is a London-based full-service video production and animation company operating since 2005, with offices in Farringdon (EC1M 3JB) and South East London. The firm produces film and animation for charities, NHS trusts, global brands and public-sector bodies, and reports over 1,000 completed productions across its twenty-year operating history. Its core service surface spans concept development, scripting, directing, cinematography, editing, post-production and delivery, run under one roof through an in-house animation studio, infinity curve studio and full 4K camera and grip kit. Notable technical capabilities include a language-agnostic animation design methodology that communicates through image and action alone without voiceover — demonstrated across 15 languages for MS International Federation and 12 languages for the NHS National Screening Programme — together with end-to-end DRTV broadcast compliance including Clearcast approval management and ASA broadcast code navigation for vulnerable contributors. Revenue is generated entirely through project-based professional services fees, with pricing scoped individually per project: single-day corporate or beneficiary films start from £3,500-£6,000, multi-day fundraising or brand films £8,000-£25,000, illustrated or motion-graphics explainers £4,000-£10,000, and DRTV broadcast commercials £15,000-£40,000. The go-to-market is sales-led and inbound, sourced via the company website, an extensive case-study portfolio, social media, and creative-agency partnerships (notably Whippet for Marks & Spencer and Arthur London for RSPCA DRTV), with one free production day per month offered to small charities since launch. The company is founder-led by Creative Director Harry Chambers (former BBC) and Managing Director Isabel Campbell (Government background), and serves primary segments of Charities/NGOs, Healthcare/NHS, Corporate/Global Brands and the Public Sector.

The company handles concept development, scripting, filming, editing, post-production and delivery as a full-service provider.
2. Animation Production: In-house animation production including 2D animation, explainer animation, motion graphics and multilingual animation series. Pricing scales based on style (illustration-based vs motion graphics), number of films, number of languages, and accessibility requirements. Animation revenue is project-based professional services.
