Founded in 2008 by Nigel Pope and Jackie Savery, Maramedia is Scotland's leading independent TV production company specialising in wildlife filmmaking. We create world-class natural history content for broadcast across a variety of platforms for international clients such as the BBC, ITVG, PBS, National Geographic and ORF. Working with key talent like David Attenborough, Ewan McGregor, Kirsty Wark, David Tennant, Denis Lawson, Siobhan Redmond, Adjoa Andoh and Thoren Ferguson, we pride ourselves on telling stories that need to be told and on making films that have a life beyond broadcast.

Our critically-acclaimed BBC Scotland series Hebrides – Islands on the Edge was narrated by Ewan McGregor and nominated for BAFTA, Jackson Hole and Wildscreen Awards, winning the prestigious PANDA award for Best Series in 2014. Together with its sequel, Highlands - Scotland's Wild Heart, the two series have been sold in over 100 countries across the globe.

Since 2017 we have produced Hotel Armadillo, a single documentary following the work of giant armadillo scientist Arnaud Desbiez for the BBC’s Natural World strand and PBS, a landmark project in 4K, Wild Way of the Vikings for PBS and following on from the worldwide success of Hebrides and Highlands, the third in the Maramedia trilogy takes us on an epic journey to Scotland’s northern most archipelago: Wild Shetland.

In 2019 - 2020 our different production for us, a documentary series on the Scottish SPCA Wildlife rescue centre, called ‘Born to be Wild’ was broadcast across BBC Scotland and BBC Two.
The ten - part series follows the work of the staff at the SSPCA wildlife centre and their successful animal releases back to the wild, which also returned for a series 2.

We have also ventured into the world of children's TV under our Mara Kids brand, with Gudrun The Viking Princess, for Cbeebies. Series one is narrated by David Tennant and series 2 is narrated by Denis Lawson. And award winning series Hushabye Lullabye, which also returned for a series 2.

We are also proud to continue our relationships with co-pros on ventures such as Stormborn a 3 part wildlife drama series. And A baby Reindeers First Christmas partnering with Flicker for Channel4. And Chasing The Rains for LoveNature.

2022 and 2023 saw the completion of our epic 3 part Scottish wildlife series Scotland - The New Wild and our Mara Kids brand take on the adaptation of best selling books, Olga da Polga by Paddington Bear author, Michael Bond in not one, but two series for CBeebies.
