Hi! Nice to meet ya!

Sidekick Video is a studio for science and climate storytelling, partnering with founders, labs, and institutions bringing the green transition to life. Founded by Ben Derico, an SF‑based producer/director and journalist formerly with BBC News, we got our start as a traditional advertising studio.

After years covering science and technology, Sidekick’s focus is now focused around science and climate storytelling. Our goal is to translate complex research and ideas about our natural world, and the people working to save it, into clear, human stories to inform the public.

We work in English, Spanish, and Portuguese and encourage a collaborative approach with our partners. Looking forward to meeting you!
