Discovery Channel - On-Air Continuity (Ongoing)
Since 2005 Mumbojumbo has been producing foreign language versions for Discovery Channel on a regular basis, (on-air continuity, promos, vignettes, teasers). Working under the tightest deadlines (sometimes turning projects around in less than 24 hours) we continue to deliver consistently high level results, as expected from this global broadcaster.
Our in-territory system of production managers, translators, and recording facilities are set up specifically to deal with the sort of last minute emergencies that are inevitable in this industry. Our approach secures a wide range of casting choices, low rates for the client and guarantees timely delivery that includes our London studio audio quality control.

Discovery - "Boom De Yada"
Discovery came to us with a musical brand spot that played on the much loved "Boom De Yada" theme. Boasting high production values, the challenge for us was to create an all-singing all-dancing local version; to produce a translation that had to be sensitive to both the tune and the rhythm of the original and retain the all important feel-good value; to cast both singing and acting talent who were guided by musical directors to create a local version that brings a smile to the face of all who watch it.

Publicis & Hal Riney - Sandisk International Radio Campaign
San Francisco ad agency Publicis & Hal Riney asked us to help them produce a European radio campaign for technology company SanDisk. The creative team flew over from San Francisco, and worked with us to produce the work in time and within budget.
"40 commercials, 30 voice-over talents, 7 countries, 4 days to execute everything... With a process that was completely painless. I can't recommend Mumbojumbo highly enough."

Discovery - "Short"
One of Discovery Network’s flagship projects "Short" was a series of commissioned short films, showcasing the fascinating true life stories of unique individuals. It was a brand defining endeavour from the Emerging Markets department at Discovery. From the cross translating of four source languages, casting, and recording in territory, to the final audio mix, mastering and layback here in London, ready for broadcast in Israel, Turkey, Russia, and South Africa, Mumbojumbo was there at every stage of the adaptation process. A complex and high profile project, requiring cross adaptation, highly creative translation and the casting of the most unique voice talents, ensured the poetry of the original films was retained. Recordings were produced entirely in-territory, flying out Mumbojumbo’s project producer to supervise the local teams.
