Celebrated for its bespoke solutions and shortlisted for Favourite Video Rental Company at the 2025 TPi Awards, Universal Pixels (UP) wraps for Christmas on the back of shows with Idles, Massive Attack, and Nile Rodgers & CHIC at M&S Bank Arena, Liverpool, and the alt star-studded Mark Lanegan 60 – A Celebration, and Kelsea Ballerini, both at London’s Roundhouse.
In its eighth year, the smallest company on the six-strong shortlist, UP, brought the big picture to a vast array of video projects in 2024, celebrated turns/tours from the likes of Black Keys, Chemical Brothers, Depeche Mode, Green Day, and Thom Yorke/The Smile among them.
Across the same 12 months, Universal Pixels’ staff numbers are up by a third and more than £2m has gone into new kit, the biggest annual spend in UP history.
Founder/commercial director at Universal Pixels, Phil Mercer, comments: “It’s been an incredible year. Again. Teaming up with outstanding creatives, delivering, designing, to their wants, and bringing another dimension for some of the world’s greatest performers.
“It’s a product of engaging with clients, investing in new technology, and maintaining it, sustainable practice, and providing for our team. Making UP a wonderful place to work.
“We’re in the B Corp certification process too, hitting rigorous standards in social/environmental performance, transparency, and accountability, typically the preserve of consumer-facing business, and learning lessons.
“We’re delighted to be on the TPi Awards’ shortlist for the sixth time. Vote Universal Pixels!”
