ABOUT WHISPER
Whisper is a leading global, independent production partner where Entertainment is Everything.
Founded in 2010, Whisper functions as a multi-genre powerhouse that combines a dynamic, people-first culture with the scale to deliver for the world's biggest broadcasters and brands. Following its 2026 return to private ownership, the group has reinforced its long-standing commitment to authentic storytelling and technological innovation.

Whisper is proud to work on the most iconic sporting events and in partnership with global federations and rights-holders, including UEFA, Formula 1, EA, Wimbledon, and FIFA.
Whisper's innovative production - which includes Women's Rugby World Cup, Paralympics, BBC Sports Personality of the Year, Built in Birmingham: Brady & The Blues, Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune - is consistently delivered in collaboration with major SVODs and broadcasters such as Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, BBC, ITV, and Channel 4.
