Boulder Creek International

What Boulder Creek International does

Boulder Creek International is a London-based boutique distribution and production company founded in 2007 that operates across three integrated service lines: post-production, global content distribution, and event coordination. The company's in-house production team creates five original series sold to broadcasters worldwide, supported by technical post-production capabilities including editing, graphics, colour grading, file conversions, and voicing with file-delivery infrastructure from producer to broadcaster. Its distribution arm represents independent producers and event organisers, licensing award-winning sports (motorsports, cycling, surfing, skiing, combat sports, e-sports, darts, greyhound racing), factual, documentary, lifestyle, and music & arts programming to broadcasters and digital platforms globally, with marquee distribution partnerships including the FIA, UIAA, World Darts Federation, and Stéphane Ratel Organisation.

The company generates revenue through three streams: content licensing and royalties on its in-house and represented catalogue, professional services for event coordination and brand partnerships across sport, media, and entertainment, and ancillary distribution services. Its go-to-market is sales-led, targeting enterprise broadcast buyers through direct outreach, an enquiry-based website catalogue, industry trade shows, showreels, and email/newsletter marketing. Key customer segments are broadcasters and TV networks, independent producers, event organisers, and brands seeking sports/entertainment sponsorship opportunities. Notable catalogue titles include FourFourTwo, Wild Spirits (airing 25 years), Supercar TV, SimRacing TV, Better Than Four, FIA Pure Motorsport, and British GT Championship, alongside 40+ additional programmes.

The company is privately held, headquartered in London, United Kingdom, operates globally, and maintains a deliberately lean 7-person team supplemented by freelance production capacity. Ownership and management details are not publicly disclosed, and no institutional funding, acquisitions, or M&A activity are evidenced.
