Snappin' Turtle Productions

Snappin’ Turtle exists because of ideas. Ideas clients love so much they keep asking for more.

We are an independent creative studio specialising in purpose-driven content. 

We work with brands that share a vision of a better world, driving meaningful change through company culture, sustainability and conscious social impact. 

Our agile in-house production capability allows us to elevate the quality of storytelling to consumers and internal audiences. 

We create moments of real connection through narrative-led social content, longer form documentary, podcasts and animation.

Founded in 2010 by creatives Michael Traboulsi & Ben Taylor, the agency is anchored with a background in broadcast journalism.

This has led to more than a decade of award-winning work for global brands, agencies and charities.

Honest, fun, energetic and just a little bit different - that’s Snappin’ Turtle.

Clients include Starbucks, TikTok, Microsoft, Cadbury, Anglo American, Le Meridien Hotels, Great Ormond Street Hospital, BBC Radio 1, BBC iPlayer and the Duke of Cambridge’s charity SkillForce.
