Oil is an interactive drama and entertainment studio.

Oil is a new kind of studio.

We tell multi-platform stories for brands and broadcasters.

Our stories reach huge audiences and crucially, generate revenue through new channels and business models.

Over the last 18 months we've been developing a number of award winning projects that demonstrate our approach for a diverse range of clients.


Currently

We currently have projects in development for the BBC, ITV, The UAE Government and several celebrity brands alongside a packed production slate of agreements with half a dozen forward-thinking clients.

Recently

A New Chairman Oil is delighted to announce the appointment, effective immediately, of Simon Rees to the role of chairman of the board. We have been negotiating an agreement with Simon for some time now, and are delighted we have finalised terms with him as we continue to grow and develop apace.

Simon has held senior board positions with a number of digital and media agencies, most notably Carat, where he joined the board at 26, and Mindshare which he ran successfully for 12 years. An innovative thinker, Simon initiated the UKs largest TV sponsorship deal when he brought Cadbury’s and Coronation Street together.

As well as his role as Oil chairman, Simon will continue to run his charity for people coping with epilepsy and mental illness, Basic Needs and his sustainability consultancy for advertising agencies, Digital Planet.



What is Oil?

Oil is a multi-platform story studio. We create drama and entertainment based on our own IP for broadcasters, branded content for advertisers, and commercial projects with forward thinking partners. We use digital production techniques to create low-cost, high-value properties.

We tell great stories using the familiar touch points of the target audience. We use everyday media to tell the story to the right people in the right place at the right time. And we make sure our stories are designed so that each interaction - no matter where or how it happens - progresses the story, rather than repeating the opening line.

Oil is a multi-platform story studio. This means we create compelling worlds that can reward, entertain and monetize massive audiences in a market where traditionally-served audiences are shrinking every day.

Keeping Keeley

Working with Lynx (Uniliver) and Mind's Eye, Oil have produced an interactive experience using specially shot video, special effects and a complex video engine, all built as a Facebook app. You start with a video clip with choices at the end, and those choices lead to more clips and more choices. The aim is to keep Keeley interested in Jack (our everyman hero) right up to the end
