Stories that make a difference
Helping our clients tell their story, inspire change, and build trust.
Creative. Insightful. Authentic.
We live in a world where it’s harder than ever to know what’s real and what’s authentic. Audiences don’t want to be sold to. They want insights and messages they can believe in, stories they can trust.
We believe in meaningful communications grounded in real voices and authentic experiences. We also believe in narratives that show how transformation and change can happen in the world around us. Narratives that create optimism and offer solutions.
When stories are shaped this way, audiences don’t just watch. They connect, they care, and they remember.
Our Services
We are idea generators crafting effective solutions that get the best out of film, animation, design and photography.
As creative thinkers, we help shape your message - uncovering the human story and visual language that truly connects with your audience.
As producers, we bring that story to life, managing the entire production from concept right through to delivery.
From the very outset we work in partnership with you, discussing every aspect of the project, from the schedule to creative sign-off. Our partnership approach is consciously designed to offer support and advice every step of the way.

Our mission is to help purpose-driven organisations create authentic and insightful communications that inspire change and build trust
What our clients say
It is a real pleasure to recommend Popla Media. They were outstanding collaborators - professional, reliable, and empathetic to the sensitive nature of the research. They understood the spirit of the data and the story we wanted to tell, translating complex findings and human experiences into a visually powerful and emotionally resonant film. Their work was delivered on time, to an exceptional standard.
Emily Gray

Popla Media were appointed to produce two films to showcase major development projects at Heathy Wood and Kingsgrove. They brought the projects to life and delivered two fantastic films both on time and within the agreed budget. The results of their work exceeded all of our expectations.
Rob Draper
Senior Development Manager, Clarion Housing Group
Working with Popla Media was the best decision I made whilst embarking on a new project that involved very delicate and sensitive stories, I needed a company that would really understand what was required and be able to interpret and navigate through the complexities of the stories being told. The whole team were exceptional.
Kelly Hounslow
Project Manager, NWG Network
I had the pleasure of working with Popla Media on a film capturing two significant pieces of research. Rob and Claire bought with them an openness to explore difficult issues, their own experiences of fighting for justice, amazing creativity, and a range of skills to help tease out the key messaging. They are an amazing organisation that use emotional intelligence when creating and delivering on time to agreed targets and deadlines.

Popla Media delivered a brilliant animation for us. On top of their professional execution of the project, they are lovely people to work with who put their heart into their work.
Jess Roberts
Senior Partnership Manager, Great Ormond Street Hospital
The professionalism of the team from start to finish was just fantastic! Our young people aren't used to appearing in films, but Rob and his team made them feel so comfortable that they enjoyed the experience and are now sharing the video amongst their friends.
