Our process
At Pollen, collaboration is at the heart of everything we do.
We assemble tailored teams of experts across storytelling, design, and strategy to meet the specific goals and challenges of each client. By blending global expertise with creative finesse, we build solutions that connect with audiences, spark engagement, and inspire action.
We don’t just tell stories; we craft movements. Whether it’s through documentary films, rebranding initiatives, or immersive digital projects, our work is designed to make a lasting impact.
Our services
Documentary Film Production: We produce and co-produce award-winning documentary films that change the conversation on critical issues. Our projects, including The Great Green Wall and Blue Carbon, have influenced policy, inspired billions in funding, and raised global awareness about climate and social justice. As co-producers of Beautiful Resistance - a feature film about the topical issues of climate reparations and indigenous justice - we are currently shaping another groundbreaking project that blends cinematic storytelling with urgent calls to action.
Film Impact Campaigns: Beyond the screen, we lead film impact campaigns that go beyond entertainment. These campaigns are designed to make real-world impact, influencing policies, inspiring funding, and supporting frontline communities facing the climate crisis. We’re dedicated to turning films into catalysts for change.
High-level Communications Campaigns: Our expertise extends to leading major communications campaigns. Notably, we’ve been at the forefront of flagship projects like the Great Green Wall initiative. We’ve also contributed crucial communications assets to UNESCO’s “Futurekeepers” campaign, crafting persuasive pitch decks and engaging with potential funders to secure vital partnerships.
Innovative Audience Engagement: We constantly innovate to connect diverse audiences to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our projects include immersive experiences like virtual reality initiatives and leveraging emerging technologies like web3. We’ve also hosted groundbreaking digital art projects in collaboration with institutions such as the United Nations and Somerset House.
Organizational Re-branding: We specialize in transforming nonprofits through creative rebranding. By refining their messaging, visuals, and strategies, we help organizations communicate their missions with clarity and impact.
