We help filmmakers, creatives, nonprofits, entrepreneurs, businesses, and organisations turn ideas into stronger funding opportunities, professional brands, meaningful visibility, and measurable growth. From strategy and grant development to digital, creative, and project support — we bring the people, research, and expertise needed to move your work forward.
Filmmaking is a major part of our work — but it's far from the whole of it. We support anyone whose work deserves to be seen, funded, and taken seriously.
Funding gaps, weak applications, unclear positioning, incomplete materials, festival & distribution readiness, international pathways.
Project development, treatments, professional packaging, visibility, and the strategic materials that make work ready for the right people.
Grant readiness, proposal development, impact communication, donor positioning, and programme sustainability.
Brand clarity, funding strategy, business plans, pitch decks, digital presence, and the positioning investors actually trust.
Funding, strategic communication, website credibility, marketing, audience growth, and a digital presence built to convert.
Brand visibility, digital presence, customer engagement, content strategy, and online credibility that fills the room.
Funding pathways, audience development, cultural positioning, and the organisational strategy that sustains meaningful work.
Six stages, one continuous through-line. Each one moves your work closer to the people who can move it forward.
We review existing materials, funding readiness, project readiness, positioning, and the strategic gaps that are holding the work back.
From film funding and project development to brand, digital, and organisational support — the work is grouped into clear families so you can find exactly what you need.
Grant research, eligibility assessment, funding roadmaps, and proposal development that wins.
Tim Royals Agency grew from watching powerful stories and ambitious projects struggle — not because the work wasn't good enough, but because the funding, visibility, positioning, and industry pathways weren't there. We exist to help close that gap.
"Timothy manages the agency alongside his girlfriend, who doubles as a trusted management partner, sounding board, and occasional second opinion when a big idea needs one."

FOUNDER, ZAQ FILM
What began as grant research quickly became much broader strategic support. Timothy identified funding opportunities, strengthened the project's positioning, assisted with website development, and remained actively involved throughout the process. His ability to connect different parts of a project into one clear strategy brought far more value than we initially expected.
