9. company has produced, including Boligrådet, Nabolaget, Julekveld hos Prøysen, and Flipp med Emilie, which have received acclaim from critics and audiences alike. Many of these productions are a result of Tellus Works’ decision to branch out from just documentary and lifestyle in 2023, a push which saw it embark on new projects across genres such as true crime, drama, and comedy. It seems like whatever the company tries its hand at it succeeds in, and a number of the shows that Tellus Works has produced over the past two decades have won awards at prestigious international ceremonies. New Scandinavian Cooking and People of the North even share four Taste Awards between them – which are essentially the lifestyle programming equivalent of the Academy Awards – something that has only bolstered their standing on the world’s stage. Although it has successfully conquered the international scene, Tellus Works has certainly not lost sight of the local industry, and many of the TV series that it is producing at the minute, or has recently completed, have been made purposefully for Norwegian channels. These include En Bit av Norge and Det Norske Måltid for the channel TV 2 Direkte, Karanba and Den Nordiske Smaken for the NRK station, and Det Store Spillet and Garasjen for TV3, as well as shows like Martin Pedersen, which is streaming on Discovery+ in Norway. Over the past few years, more eyes have been on Scandinavian television than ever before, especially with the increase in popularity of the region’s crime dramas, which have captured the interest of audiences from all over the world, particularly those in the UK. Tellus Works is certainly taking advantage of this increased interest through the likes of its true crime and drama series, all whilst putting a unique spin on them to help it separate itself from other production companies in the region, something aided by its independent status. Alongside creating exciting and engaging original television programmes for national and international audiences alike, other areas of speciality for Tellus Works include seamless product placement and advertiser-funded projects, both of which it has a successful track record with. This is the cherry on top of a company that stands as a beacon of TV production in its local region and beyond, something corroborated by this much-deserved award. Having explored its contributions to the television industry, it would be remiss not to mention the equally brilliant work that Tellus Works does when it comes to visual content creation for businesses, something that was briefly touched upon at the beginning of this article. Demonstrating their wide-ranging abilities, the team here help clients to leverage the power of the digital sphere across a number of formats through the delivery of high-quality and professional content that is as unique as they are. Across all of these services and shows, the more than two decades of industry experience had by Tellus Works Television AS really shines through on every occasion. Its excellent television series appeal not only to those in its home region, but even viewers on the other side of the planet, and their ability to overcome language barriers and cultural differences is a testament to their inherent quality. With an array of diverse projects in the pipeline, it will not be long before even more global audiences are enjoying a Tellus Works production. Named as the Best Documentary & Lifestyle Program Production Company 2024, many of Tellus Works’ signature series, such as New Scandinavian Cooking and People of the North, are some of the best examples of the genre around, making this company a worthy winner of this award and a bright spot in both its region’s ever-expanding television industry and this awards programme.
