Bubble Creative Studio

What Bubble Creative Studio does

Bubble Creative Studio is a Portuguese audiovisual production company headquartered in Porto, operating as a Unipessoal Lda (single-member limited liability company) since its founding in 2019. The studio operates three distinct revenue lines: traditional B2B audiovisual production, augmented reality (AR) experiences for museums and cultural institutions, and full-service production of CNN Inovação, a technology-focused television program on CNN Portugal. The company delivers a catalog of 500+ productions to a network of 100+ partner brands and institutions across media, retail, healthcare, academia, and government sectors.

The company's core product offerings include project-based video production for clients such as RTP, Farfetch, Sonae, Continente, and Mercado; an AR experience store featuring six museum-themed immersive experiences priced at €12 per session for consumer audiences; and the exclusive producer role for CNN Inovação on CNN Portugal, which has delivered 60+ episodes across three seasons since 2023 with 500,000+ cumulative views. The underlying technology stack combines conventional film/video production equipment with AR/immersive authoring tools for the museum experience product. The company has secured EU PRR (Plano de Recuperação e Resiliência) funding for an internationalization initiative, signaling ambitions to expand beyond Portugal.

The business model is multi-modal: (1) project-based production fees from B2B clients, (2) consumer revenue from AR museum experiences, and (3) recurring production fees from CNN Portugal for the CNN Inovação program. The studio is small, with 1-10 employees and approximately seven named team members, indicating a boutique operation. The single-owner governance structure (Unipessoal Lda) carries concentration risk and may limit access to institutional capital scaling.
