We produce live events, magazines, and websites, for our own brands and others. Every project is delivered in-house, from concept to completion. Our expert teams collaborate to achieve standout results. As an independent company, our creative freedom has made Media 10 one of the industry’s most awarded.
We’re the force behind some of the UK’s biggest brands like Good Homes, ICON, UKCW and 100% Optical – with Media 10 teams creating vibrant, original content for them all.
If you’ve heard of them, we’ve probably worked with them. ITV, CBS, Channel 4, BSkyB, BBC, and Virgin Media – we’re proud to call them all partners.
We’ve transformed fading events and brands into award-winning shows and household names. Like the Ideal Home Show, which we took from the edge of extinction to 450,000 visitors a year.
Running dozens of trade and consumer events, websites, and publications and entertaining millions of people a year is no mean feat. The people who make it happen aren’t just a lovely bunch – they’re talented, dedicated specialists with focused understanding of their industries. Ambitious, but with two feet firmly on the ground. And proper team players who bring out the best in each other.
