It might sound a bit crazy, but here at Clarity Entertainment & Media, we don’t do corporate travel. Not in the way people expect, anyway. Clarity has spent decades building a reputation for exceptional corporate travel, and we’re proud of that, but the entertainment and media world is a different beast entirely.
We specialise in global travel logistics for the entertainment, film, TV, production, music, fashion and creative industries. People often assume corporate and entertainment travel are the same, but they couldn’t be further apart. This sector needs a particular set of skills, industry knowledge and lived experience to handle the sheer variety of challenges that pop up - challenges that traditional corporate travel never needs to plan for.
Isn’t it just a question of jargon?
Yes, the corporate world loves its terminology. But terms like “Travel Management Company (TMC)” fall flat here not because people don’t understand them, but because they don’t describe the reality of how this industry works.
Take cadence. In the corporate world, travel runs all year. In entertainment and media, a production might only need us for a few weeks, but in those weeks everything moves fast. We don’t have months to build experience with a client. We need to click immediately, instill confidence quickly, and already have the expertise to solve complex problems on day one.
That’s why our service is built differently. We handle specialist vehicles and private charters; excess baggage waivers; carnet and passport support for equipment; tour and crew planning; carbon-footprint reporting; and on-site support when productions need it most.
Our team understands the realities: remote filming, fragile kit, shifting deadlines, cast and crew who never stay still, and schedules that change hourly. We combine that insider knowledge with the scale to deliver 24/7 support, negotiated industry fares, tailored budget reporting and duty-of-care management.
Who do we service?
The entertainment and media world isn’t one tidy sector - it’s a collection of fast-moving, highly specialised sub‑industries, each with its own pressures. That’s why this type of travel can’t be approached like corporate travel.
Our team’s experience spans TV and film, music, touring, fashion and live events, sectors where travel is rarely predictable, often last-minute and almost never“ business as usual.” We work with broadcasters, production companies, advertising agencies, talent and creative management, major touring acts and media organisations – as well as being the official travel partner of Royal Television Society members.
What unites all of these industries travel requirements is their unpredictability.
Their travel isn’t regular. Their itineraries shift constantly. Their equipment is heavy, fragile or valuable. Their timelines are tight. Their expectations can be immediate.
So, whether it's moving a full orchestra overseas one day or mobilising hundreds of cast and crew for a feature film the next, we understand that every corner of this sector comes with its own quirks, and we’re built to handle all of them.
Why work with a travel provider?
Because our customers are juggling everything at once. Travel is only one small part of their job, and without specialist knowledge they’re not always going to get the right deal, the right routing or the right support. We take the stress away. We handle logistics, flag sustainable travel options and keep projects moving smoothly.
A single production might have dozens of different people making bookings. But the full picture only becomes clear after wrap, when finance teams are left trying to piece together every cost. We offer real-time visibility and reporting, so steps can be taken in the moment, not months later.
Our scale matters too. We’re able to offer value through our consolidated buying power. While also having the technology, teams and infrastructure in place to provide ease of booking, and access to sustainable choices - value that our customers can’t always get alone.
What makes us different?
A lot of travel partners support entertainment clients - but what sets us apart is that we truly understand the world they operate in. Between us, our team brings more than 25 years of hands‑on entertainment experience. We know what entertainment customers need, how they work, and the pressures they’re under, because we’ve lived it ourselves.
Unlike smaller niche providers, we don’t rely on third‑party systems or off‑the‑shelf tech. We’ve built our own proprietary tools so we can innovate quickly, stay in control, and adapt to the fast‑moving needs of touring teams, production crews, and on‑the‑ground operations. If something needs improving, we build it in‑house.
We’re also agile and endlessly curious, always ready to explore new solutions. Our partnership with IDE Systems for remote EV charging is a perfect example: when our clients face new challenges, we don’t wait around - we work out how to solve them. Problem‑solving isn’t a feature for us; it’s part of our DNA.
