What High Viz Media Ltd does

High Viz Media Ltd is a UK private, family-owned live broadcast production company founded in 2014 that delivers end-to-end live production services for rights holders, broadcasters, game publishers, and brand owners. Its core client base spans major sports broadcasters and streamers (DAZN, BBC, Sky), global streamers and studios (Netflix, Disney, PlayStation), and leading esports and gaming franchises (Riot Games' VALORANT Champions Tour EMEA, Jagex's RuneFest, Fnatic, and others). Production scope covers live capture, in-house technical direction, and full gallery operations for events ranging from tier-one football leagues to flagship esports tournaments, gaming events, entertainment shows, and corporate broadcasts.

The company's product platform rests on four reinforcing pillars. First, a fleet of purpose-built outside broadcast units — Big Pod, Little Pod, and OB1 — engineered around IP-native, cloud-connected MCR workflows with an emphasis on sustainability and reduced on-site power demand, including the in-house NXTGENbps GOAT battery system and flypack galleries. Second, Great West Studio, an owned production facility in West London that extends the offering into fixed studio-based production. Third, HVIMG Rentals, a dedicated equipment rental sub-brand that commercializes under-utilized kit to third parties. Fourth, a multi-skilled in-house crew supplemented by a wider freelance community, giving the company the depth to staff overlapping simultaneous productions.

Commercially, High Viz generates revenue through project- and event-based production fees, multi-year framework agreements with anchors such as DAZN (English National League through 2027) and Riot Games (VCT EMEA), studio hire at Great West Studio, and equipment rental income via HVIMG Rentals. Pricing is typically bespoke and quote-based, reflecting the operational complexity of each event. The company remains privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, reinvesting operating cash flow into fleet, studio, and IP development, and operates primarily across the UK and EMEA with global clients.
