Let’s be honest. Nobody’s itching to watch an advert. But a cracking piece of branded entertainment? That’s a different story.
At Simply Thrilled, we’re a branded entertainment production company which knows how to sneak your message into stories people want to watch. Think comedy skits, micro-documentaries, mockumentaries, mini-series, satirical game shows, influencer-led adventures – all wrapped around your brand, not rammed down someone’s throat.
It’s advertising that doesn’t feel like advertising. And it works big time.
Branded entertainment sits in that glorious middle ground between the likes of your favourite tv format such as Bake Off and typical advert advertising. It’s not a hard sell. It’s not an awareness-only play either. It’s a smart way to entertain your audience while embedding your values, identity or message.
From Red Bull’s stunts to Nike’s short films, the idea is simple: create something people would still watch even if your logo vanished.
And you don’t need a £500k budget to do it well. You just need:
A strong idea
A format which fits the platform
A team who understands both story and strategy
Think story arcs, cliffhangers, bingeable content… with your brand embedded in the DNA. Great for launches, repositioning or long-term engagement.
Funny sells… and we know how to write, shoot and cut comedy which actually lands. Add your product or message into the mix and it sticks.
We write the story. They bring the audience. It’s branded entertainment with built-in distribution – especially strong for Gen Z and Millennial reach.
Whether it’s behind-the-scenes, passion projects or issue-led storytelling… docs can be powerful vehicles for brand purpose.
Think niche competitions, social experiments or workplace challenges. Highly watchable. Deeply brandable.
Stylised, slick and versatile. Perfect for explainer-style content with character and charm.
Choose-your-own-ending. Poll-based videos. Viewer-led outcomes. It’s playful, innovative and encourages repeat viewing.
We dig into your goals, audience, tone, brand guidelines (if you’ve got ‘em), and market position. We look at what’s trending, what’s tired, and where the opportunity is at.
We pitch concepts which could genuinely stand alone as entertainment. Then we find smart ways to embed your brand naturally… into the narrative, the world, the characters.
We write treatments, pilot scripts, and character bios. You’ll get a clear idea of how the tone plays out, how long it’ll be, and what your brand’s role is in each episode or piece.
Filming days vary from one-day shoots to multi-week productions. Our crews are lean, smart and highly experienced in everything from comedy to drama to doc-style realism.
Editing, motion graphics, music, VFX, subtitling, grading – we finish everything to a high-spec shine. Then prep it for wherever it’s going: YouTube, socials, OTT, paid, broadcast.
Want help launching it? We can assist with scheduling, platform strategy, influencer integrations and even media buying support.
Why choose Simply Thrilled?
We’re not a drab corporate video factory. And we’re not a shouty ad agency either. We’re a nimble team of filmmakers, writers, strategists and production wizards who:
Know what makes an audience care
Understand how branded content can drive business goals
Love experimenting with formats and finding new angles
Have made multi platinum award-winning content for the likes of Universal Records, Bentley, NHS England, Island Records, Biffa.
Depends on the format. Mini-series might be 3–6 minutes per episode. Youtube content is generally longer format at 10-20 mins. Comedy skits: 30 seconds to 2 mins. Docs: 5 to 10 mins. We’ll advise based on your goals.
It varies massively. Smaller comedy-style skits series start at around £3-5k. We flex packages to suit your scope.
Yes… and you should. We always create cutdowns and alternate formats to get more life and reach from your content.
Absolutely. When done right, it increases engagement, loyalty, reach and sometimes brand consideration or direct sales. We build in KPIs and tracking where needed.
