Company Overview

Heehaw is a multi award-winning, full-service video production agency working script to screen and cross platform since 2000. Run by Managing Director Toby Trueman, their in-house team of filmmakers specialise in production, motion design and animation, delivering video projects in packages bolstered by in-depth strategy and activation expertise. Heehaw have delivered successful campaigns and video projects for long-term client partners including Red Bull, Hilton Hotels, United Nations, WHO, UNICEF, BBC, Baillie Gifford, Lee Kum Kee and many others.

In addition to creating promo and branded content for their global clients, the team also produces factual content through their Cloud Break label, delivering documentaries for broadcasters including the BBC, TRT World and S4C, receiving a BAFTA Cymru nomination for the latter. A recent push towards the short form and digital face of broadcasting has seen the team become VT suppliers to BBC’s The One Show, as well as winning an investment and business support package from Channel 4’s Emerging Indie Fund. In 2022 the company began producing scripted features, partnering with global TV-movie studio Reel One Entertainment to produce their first Scottish film. Two more features are slated for the first half of 2023. Heehaw debuted on the EVCOM Top 50 list at number 13 in 2022.
