Our production team is currently finalising a premium broadcaster pitch deck for an ambitious, multi-platform unscripted comedy format.
The project is structured specifically as a co-commission model featuring a unique split-commercial architecture across linear TV, VOD, and You Tube commerce.
The production model is fully optimised for Out-of-London regional spend requirements (North West).
We are looking to partner with an experienced Development Consultant or Former Commissioner on a consulting basis to review our deck and packaging strategy before we submit it.
- The Brief
- Audit our format structure, commercial split strategy, and talent packaging.
- Ensure the tone, terminology, and layout align perfectly with current UK unscripted commissioning priorities.
- Provide blunt, actionable feedback to make the deck entirely "buyer‑ready."
- The Deal Structure
This is a contingent attachment opportunity.
In exchange for your strategic review and guidance, you will be formally attached to the pitch deck as a Consulting Executive Producer, with a competitive per-episode executive fee structured directly into the production budget upon a successful greenlight.
Who you are
- A former network Commissioner, Head of Development, or Senior Development Executive with a proven track record in UK unscripted comedy, entertainment, or factual entertainment.
- You genuinely appreciate the warmth and community spirit of classic British factual formats to bring into a You Tube format. You get excited by unique, grassroots human stories.
- You are down-to-earth, approachable, and love working dynamically with lean, agile creative teams. You don't just point out flaws, but enjoy brainstorming the solutions.
- Bring constructive candour. We value honest, direct feedback delivered with mutual respect and a shared goal of winning the commission.
- About the Team
A current on-screen presenter and reporter for flagship STV current affairs programming (and two-time RTS Young Journalist of the Year nominee), acting as Research Producer.
An established indie production company with a track record of handling high-end commercial delivery and corporate pipelines across the UK.
By taking on this attachment role, you will be formally packaged into the project’s pitch materials as a Consulting Executive Producer before it hits network desks.
Upon a successful broadcaster greenlight, you will receive a competitive, industry-standard per-episode executive fee built directly into the format's £1M production budget, alongside a prominent on-screen Executive Producer credit.
Beyond the significant financial backend, you gain a high-level creative partnership on a highly scalable, multi-platform format with a secured regional footprint, giving you a meaningful, low-risk stake in a prime-time broadcast series.
