Give us a brief overview of your agency. What sets you apart in the corporate video space? 

We're an independent agency based in Surrey Quays in London that draws on its roots, values and purpose to find meaning and value in every project. We foster an environment and work ethos that empowers our staff and our clients to do their best work. We collaborating flexibly, honestly and respectfully.

 

Tell us about a recent project you are particularly proud of. 

Behind the Grid was a multifaceted project that required shoots all over Europe and the UK, culminating in a four-part long-form documentary series, that hit every KPI and metric National Grid needed. It was lot of fun to create, working with excellent clients and the resulting films give a real, human insight into how our energy system works now and how it will work in a cleaner, greener future.

 

Looking ahead, what do you see as the biggest trends in corporate video over the next few years?

AI tools will be integrated into work flows, there will be a need for more human-centric narratives and a push for more authentic content. Clients are also expecting higher production values, for minimal cost increases.
