A video production company with fresh ideas

Video production has become an essential tool for businesses of all sizes. It's a versatile medium that can be used to educate customers, showcase products or services, build brand awareness, and drive sales.

Brand Awareness

Media content production is unique in that it generates strong brand awareness by engaging viewers and leading them to your product or service.

Increased SEO Rankings

Google and other major search engines actively favour branded video content, boosting companies' visibility, click-through rates and conversions.

More Shares

People love sharing content especially video, and promotional videos are among the most widely shared. A video is 7 times more likely to be shared than a simple post.

Convert Clients

Certain customers might hesitate about using your company or worse choose another, but when presented with a corporate video, they tend to become more interested.

High ROI

It takes money to make money, and nowhere is that more evident than with video content. Investing in online video can result in higher returns.

Call to Action

It can be challenging to create a compelling call to action, but a corporate video can deliver a powerful message as visuals resonate with the audience.

Video Production Bristol

Bristol is a vibrant city with a rich cultural heritage and offers a thriving video production scene. The city offers a variety of filming locations, from historic city centres and picturesque countryside to close proximity to Cardiff and South West Wales. The city is home to iconic landmarks like Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol Cathedral, and SS Great Britain, which can add a unique touch to your video. Bristol has a pool of skilled professionals, including directors, cinematographers, editors, and sound engineers, who can contribute to your video production.

How long does it take to produce a marketing video?

The time it takes to produce a marketing video can vary greatly depending on several factors, including:

• Length: Shorter videos typically take less time to produce than longer ones.
• Complexity: Videos with complex storylines, special effects, or animation may require more time.
• Production Value: High-production value videos with professional actors, equipment, and locations can take longer to produce.
• Team Size: Larger teams can often produce videos more quickly than smaller teams.

Overall, it's reasonable to expect a marketing video to take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months to produce. However, it's important to communicate your specific needs and timeline with your production team to ensure that they can deliver the video on time.
