Happy Hour Productions

Happy Hour Productions is a British TV and video advertising agency and commercial production studio based in Bristol. Founded in 2003 by Tom George, it has developed from a boutique commercials production company into an integrated agency combining creative strategy, production and post-production. Its work spans broadcast advertising, digital video, branded content, animation and audio, alongside independent feature film production.

The agency develops campaigns from initial insight gathering and concepts through scripting, filming and final delivery. Its television services include live-action commercial production, Clearcast compliance clearance and broadcast delivery. Direct response television is a particular focus, bringing creative storytelling together with campaigns designed to generate measurable consumer action. For digital and social channels, the studio produces branded films, corporate content and shorter campaign versions.

Integrated production

Creative, production and post-production teams work together under one roof. The company's capabilities include 2D and 3D character animation, motion graphics, visual effects, editing, colour grading and sound mixing. Audio work covers commercial radio, advertising and podcast recording. This combination supports projects that require several formats, from a principal television commercial to accompanying social content and audio advertising.

Happy Hour serves charities and non-profit organisations as well as businesses in financial services, insurance, retail, sport, food and drink, education, tourism, gaming and healthcare. Its documented advertising portfolio includes work for Arsenal FC, WaterAid, National Trust, Trinny London and NFU Mutual. Campaigns range from fundraising appeals and membership acquisition to beauty advertising, sports storytelling and national brand campaigns.

Beyond advertising, the company develops, produces and co-produces narrative feature films. This extends its production activity into longer-form storytelling while its central commercial business continues to offer campaign development and delivery across television, video and audio. Across these formats, the studio brings creative development, live-action production and finishing capabilities into a single company.
