Digital media production company Badger & Combes has been appointed by Peel Media as its official digital production partner as the growing company relocates to a new bespoke premise within the heart of MediaCity.
Peel Media first supported Badger & Combes in early 2020 by providing a base in MediaCity’s original incubator hub – The Greenhouse, for founder Colin McKevitt to launch an enterprise with ambitions to support production post-graduates in gaining hands-on experience on real life projects within the industry.

Colin McKevitt, Badger & Combes Founder said: “We’re immensely proud to work alongside Peel Media, not only creating amazing digital content but also playing an integral part in MediaCity’s ecosystem by providing a credible talent pathway to industry in the North West and beyond. There is an incredible amount of talent passing through our doors and our cohorts are going on to secure some fantastic opportunities.”
Caroline Aikman, MediaCity’s Head of Marketing said: “As a hub for creative, tech and digital innovation it’s important our digital content reflects the quality and profile of MediaCity’s output. Badger & Combes will support the MediaCity marketing and place team in creating high quality content which showcases reflecting what MediaCity is all about. Our partnership is especially significant as it helps support the next generation of talent meet their potential.”
