Your Business Does Important Work. Does Your Content?
Before anyone buys from you, they check you out online. Your content is your credibility — and most businesses are leaving it to chance.
Especially in sustainability, renewable energy, and climate tech — where trust is everything — you need content that demonstrates genuine expertise, not just stock-photo marketing.
That's where I come in. Broadcast-quality storytelling, built around your business.

Hi, I'm Darin. Former BBC Producer. Now Working for You.
I spent 12 years at the BBC producing content for some of the UK's most listened-to programmes — Today, World at One, Newscast, The Briefing Room, and more. I co-founded The Climate Question podcast for BBC World Service, which reached over 100 million listeners globally and took me to COP26 and COP27.
I left the BBC to launch Daring Media because I wanted to bring that same broadcast-quality storytelling to businesses — particularly those working in sustainability, renewable energy, and climate tech. These are companies doing genuinely important work that deserves a bigger audience.
I work with professional broadcast-grade equipment and bring a mobile studio straight to you. No studio rental fees, no faff. Just great content.
BBC World Service. Today Programme. Investigations. Live events. A track record built on storytelling that matters.

Short documentary-style reel exploring how hospitality businesses are eliminating carbon — the kind of sustainability storytelling Daring Media specialises in.
