Who are Forrestal?
We've previously made Television Dramas, Comedies and Entertainment Documentaries as well as work on movies like Harry Potter, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, 007 and Marvel... We've also toured the world with the biggest music acts such as Beyonce, Ed Sheran, Taylor Swift, the Killers and the Rolling Stones... but your not really here to see to see all that...
We are searching for a “forward thinking” title sponsor who will benefit from mass exposure in the most affluent and influential markets in the world, boosting awareness and sales. On this site we will share some brief details for Activation Professionals...
There is now credible, professional evidence that clearly indicates that advertiser-funded programmes (AFP) are very effective both for brands seeking marketing success and for funding the creation of content - this is now a more powerful and effective marketing tool than the more "traditional" sponsorships!


A few Key Points
Television Figures are Rising: Despite the growing trend in Social Media, Television viewing figures have continuously risen every year since 2013.
High & Growing Viewership: Ratings data (from both BARB & Nielsen) shows ad-supported TV capturing 73.6% of total viewing, with gains in share, proving its broad reach.
Brand Success & Engagement: Brands like Nike (through Sky/Coke Zero series) and Pepsi (via exported programming) have seen success, with shows driving online engagement and brand metrics.
Audience Acceptance: Viewers increasingly accept ads on premium content (streaming/linear broadcast/narrowcast), with a willingness to watch for sought-after shows, as shown by potential BBC ad-funding interest.
Shift to Integrated Experiences: Marketers value deeper integration (sponsorships, content partnerships) over just spots, driving cultural moments and brand storytelling within narratives.
Economic Viability: Advertiser-funded programming (AFP) fills funding gaps, allowing for large-scale productions and deeper audience engagement beyond traditional ad breaks.
How it Works
Branded Content: Brands fund programmes where their product/topic is naturally woven into the story (e.g., Red Bull X Fighters), creating emotional connections. Brands sponsor shows (like ad breaks in ITVX's linear streams), creating cultural touchpoints.
Integration & Ecosystems: The focus is on unified video (linear, streaming, social) where brands can create campaigns across platforms, extending beyond a single ad.
Data & Analytics: Tools like Nielsen's gauge help demonstrate real business outcomes, not just reach, convincing CMOs.
By combining the power of Global Television – still the world’s most powerful marketing tool, on various International Broadcast Networks and Video on Demand (VOD streaming) services.
Now add those audience figures with the reach of the internet – the fastest globally growing market audience…(like many other multi channel campaigns).Unlike others, we are going a step further...
We are also screening both series’ across various outlets within the travel industry ...but why the Travel industry?
In recent years the tourism industry has dramatically increased and its growth is continuing.
"The Global CROWD" has changed!
More than a billion people travel internationally every year, making Tourism one of the world’s largest and most influential markest, with an annual value exceeding $12 trillion.
Its scale surpasses major global industries including banking, oil, automotive manufacturing and telecommunications.
Importantly, tourism also delivers access to a highly affluent and desirable audience, with a particularly strong concentration of ABC1 consumers.
By opening up this additional market, we can significantly expand our potential audience reach - far beyond the viewing numbers of major sporting events!
NOT the Niche audience you think!
FACT - More people go on "Movie Tourism" per year than went to the 2026 Fifa Football World Cup - Male & Female, plus the Olympics all combined - look it up yourself, and we are a tenth of the cost!
