What TVworkshop does
TVworkshop, operating under the legal entity Wise Guy Films B.V. (KvK Utrecht 61103624), is a Netherlands-based team-building workshop provider founded in 2003 and located in De Meern, Utrecht. The company combines professional film production with corporate event management to deliver on-site and remote workshops in which groups script, shoot, and edit short films or gameshow formats, with TVworkshop supplying filmmakers, equipment, and post-production. Core offerings include movie workshops, the 30 SECONDS Gameshow, the Digital End Film (a remote end-of-year film product for primary schools), online at-home workshops such as Homemade Videoclip and Horror @ Home, and the newly launched Workshop Commercial Maken (November 2025). Production is supported by a team of approximately 25 in-house filmmakers using Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, professional cinema cameras, and steadicam rigs.
The customer base spans large Dutch and international enterprises (Philips, KLM, Rabobank, McDonald's, Swarovski, Rituals, Mars, AFAS, Albert Heijn, Beaphar, Auto Muntstad, De Baak), primary schools (with a record 50 end-films delivered in 2025), and consumer party bookings. The company executes more than 500 workshops annually and self-positions as the video specialist of the Netherlands and Belgium. Under the ownership of Marleen van Meel since 2015, TVworkshop has shifted from a generalist film-production posture toward a focused, catalogue-driven workshop model.
The business model is professional-services and transactional: pricing is quote-based and varies with group size, workshop type, duration, and travel; customers pay 100% upfront; seasonal discounts of 15% apply in December and January; and cancellations incur increasing fee tiers. The company is self-funded, with no disclosed external capital, M&A activity, or patent portfolio. Geographic and product expansion has been incremental, including COVID-era digital pivots and the 2025 commercial-workshop launch, but the operating footprint remains lean and concentrated in the Benelux.
