Consultancy

___

We work with production companies, broadcasters and creative leaders on the calls that actually shape whether a project lands. Slate strategy, deck and sizzle support, format thinking, talent and buyer insight — the kind of input you'd hope to get from a senior Exec if they had time. Two creative directors with 25 years each in unscripted TV - still pitching, still developing, still getting things made.

Slate and strategy

Most development teams are running too fast to take a proper look at what's actually on the slate, why it's there, and whether it adds up to something a buyer would commission. We come in cold, take a view, and tell you what we see. That can be a one-off review or an ongoing relationship across a development cycle. We work mostly with small and mid-sized indies — companies with a development function, but no senior outside perspective on it.

Specific projects

Sometimes the question isn't strategic, it's: this idea is nearly there, what's it missing? Deck and sizzle feedback. Format thinking on something that won't quite resolve. Pitch preparation. Buyer insight on who this is really for, and how they're likely to receive it. Project work is usually scoped tight — a couple of days of focused input, rather than an open-ended engagement.

How we work

Most engagements are project-based, scoped against a specific brief. Some clients book us by the day. Some keep us on for ongoing strategic input. We've also worked with businesses adjacent to TV who are trying to enter the market.

If any of this looks like the shape of what you need, we're always happy to talk: info@televisedminds.com
