About Us
Pistil Media is a UK-based, globally minded, audio-first production company.
We are committed to the audio craft, empower teams, and work hard to open up the world of audio for curious listeners and clients.
We’re agile and story-first, using smart workflows and the right talent to help brands, broadcasters, and NGOs do more with what they already have - from podcasts to audio-led social and multilingual adaptations.
We’re values-led, female-forward in our editorial focus, and pragmatic about budgets.
And we want to help you harness the power of audio differently.
Does that mean no video?
We’re audio-first, not audio only.
Our team has industry experience executive producing and project managing video-first podcasts as well, including award-winning and format pushing content.
When clients ask for video, we can deliver. But our focus - for now - remains on audio.
We want to show our clients how powerful it can be: how familiar formats only scratch the surface of its potential, and how, when done with intention, audio can solve problems for brands, businesses, and broadcasters alike.
Our Approach
Every project has its own shape - so we build bespoke teams, pulling from a trusted network of talented professionals including strategists, writers, producers, and engineers across continents.
Sometimes that means a London studio. Sometimes it’s field reporting in Nairobi. Either way, we bring in the people who are right for the story - not just the ones already in the room.
The result: audio stories that are cost efficient, carry further, connect deeper, and spark cultural impact.
The way we work is rooted in the industry experience of Pistil’s Founder and CEO, Sandra Ferrari. She has nearly twenty years of journalism and audio production experience across three continents and four major cities.
We bring these insights directly to your project.
