Brand videos

A brand video is the longer piece that tells people who you are and why you do what you do. It lives on your website, plays in your reception, goes into an awards entry or opens a pitch, and it does the explaining so you don’t have to.

What we make

Most brand videos are somewhere between two and five minutes, built from interviews, footage of the real place and the real people, and sometimes animation or archive material where that tells the story better. We look after the whole thing, from the first conversation about what you want people to feel to the final sound mix.

We’ve made them for charities, bus operators, colleges and universities, councils, manufacturers and research companies, and quite a few have gone on to be cut down for social and advertising as well, so one production does several jobs.

A few examples

Here are some we’re proud of. The Children’s Heart Unit Fund video was shot a few metres from open heart surgery on a child, which is something that stays with you, and gave us the chance to work with Ant and Dec, who were lovely and real pros.
