Our strategy
High School Mums, Rogue Productions
A good documentary or information programme often attracts sizeable audiences on television.
We love this and we also love supporting more specialist (targeted) content, often a combination of on air and online, which helps audiences find the work.
Online also offers the opportunity for interactivity, where audiences can be even more engaged and involved.
