Over the past 20 years we have built a proud reputation for producing quality content. From commercials and documentaries to corporate videos, sports DVDs, live events, content for Web TV and a whole lot more.
VSI’s independently produced TV programmes & event coverage have been screened on cable, satellite & terrestrial channels in more than 60 countries.

In 1990 media entrepreneur John Gubba - the experienced broadcaster and writer - launched the VSI & VISIONSPORT brands when he left ITV to set up an independent production company.
Initially trading as Visionsport International the company specialised in sports programming and live event coverage. By the end of the 1990s, production included the popular TV series Wild Thing and a more general mix of programmes distributed by VSI Enterprises.
By 2010, VSI TV was producing multi-platform content for visionsport.TV, WildThingTV & a growing collection of branded media channels.
WEB VIDEOS & VIRAL MARKETING - The use of video content is one of the most effective ways to promote your business online. Whatever you are selling there is no more dynamic way of engaging your customers on your website, video blog or social networking community.
CORPORATE VIDEO PRODUCTIONS - When it comes to producing corporate videos, we have the experience to deliver broadcast quality, tailor-made programs that will inform, entertain & engage your audience. Filming in HD with an experienced producer-director makes all the difference.
VIDEO NEWS RELEASES - The best way to guarantee maximum broadcast exposure for your product launch or sponsorship is to hire VSI to produce a scripted video news release that will be distributed around the world. We were one of the first UK companies to produce VNR's.
