THE CONCEPT
Portsmouth is full of people quietly doing remarkable things. Building communities, creating spaces, changing lives without a press release or a spotlight. Pompey Positive is Creation DMC’s original video series dedicated to finding those people and telling their stories properly.
Each episode puts a local hero at the centre, someone making a genuine difference in the city, and gives them the platform their story deserves. No agenda. No corporate brief. Just great storytelling about great people in a city we are proud to call home.
EPISODE 1 — JACOB SKINNER, PITT ST SKATEPARK
Jacob Skinner built something Portsmouth needed. Pitt St Skatepark is a place where people of all ages can come together, enjoy wheeled sports and connect with their community. A safe space built on passion, graft and a genuine belief that the city deserved better.
We brought Jacob to Treadgolds, one of Portsmouth’s most characterful warehouse spaces, and let him tell his story. The industrial backdrop gave the episode a raw, authentic feel that sat perfectly alongside the energy of what Jacob has built at Pitt St. We shot the interview to feel as genuine and unfiltered as the man himself, someone who clearly cares deeply about his community and isn’t afraid to show it.
THE RESULTS
Pompey Positive launched to an incredible response across social media, with Episode 1 immediately resonating with Portsmouth communities who recognised exactly what Jacob had built and why it mattered. The series has continued to grow with each new episode, shining a light on more of the people keeping Portsmouth extraordinary.
