“After reaching out for additional contractual expertise, Nicola and her team came highly recommended. When we need advice or opinion on any contractual matter, Mint & Co take the time to understand and contextualise the request, which is an important element of the support that we receive. The team are responsive, conscientious and a pleasure to deal with.”
Dave Wheels – Head of Operations, Barcroft
“Mint & Co have provided us with meticulous business affairs support across all of our productions, from the initial development feasibility stages through to the end of programme compliance advice. They have a broad range of experience and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other production companies.”
Katie Brewer-Frankl – Formerly Head of Production, Little Gem TV
“Nicola is one of the best business affairs people I have met in my time in media. Smart, emotionally intelligent and perfect in the negotiation and closing of deals. She is really good at compliance and working out what can and cannot be done in a very wide range of programmes. She is fast and works well under pressure. I could not recommend her more highly.”
Roy Ackerman – previously Managing Director, Pulse Films and Fresh One Productions
“We really appreciate the business affairs support Mint & Co provide across all aspects of the business – from TV and branded content through to content acquisition, distribution and channel management. Their approach is very commercial, cutting through to the main issues and offering up solutions/weighing up risk. We can always rely on them even at short notice, and the quality of work is always high. The remote service works well and we catch up in person as and when needed. We enjoy working with Mint & Co and we’d highly recommend them to other businesses in the creative content world.”
Selma and Andy – Little Dot Studios
“Nicola has advised our business across all of our TV production activity, applying her industry experience and business savvy to support our negotiations with commissioners and other third parties. She is responsive and her advice is very commercial, always focusing on the key risks for the business. Nicola is incredibly efficient and offers clear advice in a practical and user-friendly manner; I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”
Mick Greenwood – Director of Video & TV, TI productions (Time Inc)
“The world of tv and media is fraught with legal and business affairs considerations and it’s great to be able to pick up the phone or email Mint & Co to get a quick overview of a situation. Their experience and ability to then take over managing issues and without breaking the bank make them comfortable but effective people to work with.”
Big Earth
“I worked with Nicola for 5 years at Jamie Oliver Limited. It was great to have a business affairs resource that you can trust implicitly. She is extremely personable and provides a human, warm approach to often tricky issues. In addition to this, Nicola is straight talking and really helps to break down any advice. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her company to other content producers.”
Emily Taylor – Head of Production Jamie Oliver’s Food and Drinks Tube
“I have worked with Nicola for many years and can highly recommend her. She has comprehensive knowledge of the media world and is expert at supporting production companies in negotiating complex deals with broadcasters, brands and distributors. She is a joy to deal with and 100% conscientious.”
Jo Ralling – formerly COO Fresh One Productions, currently Campaign Director, Jamie Oliver Food Foundation
“Mint have played a pivotal role in helping us grow as a young indie by giving us the flexibility and support we needed on a monthly basis depending on our business affairs needs. The whole team has a vast range of experience, which gives us the confidence to expand and take on projects knowing that there won’t be any legal surprises further down the line”
