Earth Angel

What Earth Angel does

Earth Angel is a Brooklyn-based sustainability consultancy specializing in film and television production, founded in 2013 by Emellie O'Brien. The company delivers integrated consulting through a four-part framework — Strategy, Staff, Stuff, and Stats — combining sustainability planning, trained on-set Eco Crew personnel (Eco Assistants and Eco Supervisors), proprietary Zero Waste Kits and asset recovery services, and environmental impact tracking. Earth Angel positions itself as the leading dedicated sustainability consultancy for US film and television production, integrating standardized environmental accountability into production workflows typically characterized by high waste and short timelines.

The company's service portfolio spans production consulting for feature films and television series, short-term project consulting for commercials and events, corporate sustainability strategy, and facility consulting for stages and studios. Productized offerings include Eco Labs (training courses), the Good Riddance asset recovery program, and Zero Waste Kits available for rental or purchase. Earth Angel serves enterprise clients across major studios (Amazon Studios, Warner Bros, CBS, HBO, Netflix, Disney, Marvel, Sony, Paramount, Fox) and maintains strategic partnerships with the Producers Guild of America Foundation, NYC Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment, and IATSE Local 600.

Earth Angel operates as a for-profit LLC with 42 employees across Brooklyn and Los Angeles, generating revenue through professional services engagements and product sales/rentals. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investors, and growth has been supported through accelerator programs such as Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses and the Tory Burch Foundation Fellowship. Pricing is quote-based and customized to client sustainability goals, with services available wherever productions require them.

Emerging players

• Persefoni: Climate management and carbon accounting SaaS platform used by enterprises including media companies for Scope 1-3 emissions reporting. Emerging competitor at the data/software layer Earth Angel's STATS component could evolve toward.
• Watershed: Enterprise carbon accounting platform serving large companies including major media and entertainment firms. Provides the software infrastructure for climate disclosure that complements or competes with Earth Angel's data-tracking work.
• Climate Neutral: Non-profit certification brand certifying brands on carbon measurement and reduction. Adjacent to Earth Angel's space — many Earth Angel clients pursue Climate Neutral certification, making it an ecosystem partner rather than direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• South Pole: Global climate solutions and carbon consulting firm serving Fortune 500s including major entertainment and media companies on carbon strategy and offsets. Larger incumbent with broader scope than Earth Angel's production-level focus.
• Anthesis Group: Global sustainability consultancy providing ESG, supply chain, and operational sustainability services to media and entertainment majors. Large incumbent serving the same enterprise clients with broader scope.

Others

• Albert (BAFTA): UK-based organization providing carbon calculation tools, training, and sustainability guidance for the screen industries. Complementary to Earth Angel's STATS offering; alternative provider for studios operating internationally.
• Green Production Guide: Producers Guild of America Foundation initiative that provides free industry-wide sustainability resources, tools, and best practices for film and TV productions. Adjacent — both raise industry standards, but it offers free toolkits rather than paid services.

Direct peers

• Sustainable Studios: Sustainability consultancy focused on film/TV and live events, offering on-set green departments and zero-waste services to major productions. Closest direct competitor operating in the same niche with overlapping client list.
• Green Spark Group: LA-based sustainability consulting firm serving entertainment clients including TV and film productions with eco department-style services, carbon tracking, and waste diversion programs. Directly comparable in offering, geography, and target customer base.
• EcoSet: Sustainability services company providing on-set environmental coordination for film and television, with comparable service offerings and similar marquee client roster. Direct competitor in the entertainment-sustainability niche.
