We make media

Structured Revision Rounds
100%
Rights Transferred On Delivery
From brief to
everywhere it lives.
Six phases from first conversation to final handover. Each one ends with something you can look at and sign off, so nothing is a surprise at the end.
- PHASE 01
Discovery & Strategy
We start with the business problem, not the deliverable. Audience, market, competitors and what the brand actually needs to do — agreed before anything gets designed.
- PHASE 02
Concept & Direction
Territories, tone and visual direction. You see two or three distinct routes rather than one safe option, and we pick a direction together.
- PHASE 03
Design & Pre-Production
The chosen route gets built out — identity system, storyboards, shot lists, schedules and locations. Everything locked before a camera moves.
- PHASE 04
Production
Shoot, design and build. Crewed to the scale of the job, with you on set or on a live link for the calls that matter.
- PHASE 05
Post & Refinement
Edit, colour, motion, sound and retouch. Two structured rounds of feedback so revisions converge instead of drifting.
- PHASE 06
Launch & Handover
Every format, ratio and cutdown delivered, plus the guidelines and source files your team needs to keep running it without us.
One studio
for the whole brand.
Strategy, design and production under one roof — so the thinking that shapes the brand is the same thinking that ships the work.
Brand Strategy & Identity
Positioning, naming, visual identity and the guidelines that keep it intact. We build systems teams can actually use, not a PDF that gets ignored.
Film & Video Production
Brand films, commercials and documentary. Directed, shot and finished in-house, at whatever scale the story needs.
Campaigns & Art Direction
Big idea first, then the executions that carry it across every placement without thinning out.
Motion & Animation
Motion systems, title sequences, 2D and 3D animation. How a brand moves is part of how it reads.
Photography & Content
Campaign photography, product stills and repeatable social formats — shot as a system, not a one-off.
Sound & Post
Edit, colour, sound design, original score and mastering. Delivered in every format and ratio you need.

for the whole brand.
Strategy, Design and Production Under One Roof
Most brands hand strategy to one agency, design to another and production to a third — then spend the year trying to make the three agree. We do all of it. The team that works out what the brand should say is the team that designs it and the team that shoots it, which is why the work stays consistent from the deck to the final cut. We work across identity, film, motion, photography and sound, at whatever scale the brief calls for.
Strategy-Led
Every project starts with the business problem. The craft follows the thinking, never the other way round.
Production In-House
Design, shoot, edit, motion and sound sit in one team. Fewer handoffs, fewer things lost between them.
Built To Be Handed Over
You get the system and the source files. The work should keep running long after we step off it.

Frequently
asked.
The questions that come up most often before a project starts.
Either. Plenty of clients come to us for a single film or shoot. But the work tends to be stronger when the same team handles the strategy, the design and the production, because nothing gets lost in translation between three suppliers.
A single campaign or film runs three to six weeks. A full identity system with a production rollout is usually three to four months. We'll give you a real schedule with the scope, not a range.
It scales with the scope — crew size, shoot days, number of deliverables and how much of the system is being built from scratch. We quote a fixed number against an agreed scope rather than billing open-ended hours.
Yes. Full rights transfer on final payment, and you get the working files — not just flattened exports. Any third-party licences (music, stock, talent) are listed separately so you know exactly what's covered and for how long.
Often that's the best setup. We can lead the whole thing, or come in on a specific phase — direction, production or post — and hand back to your team. We'll build the guidelines so they can run it.
Two structured rounds are built into every stage. Consolidated feedback in one pass at each milestone keeps things converging. Anything beyond that, or a change of direction after sign-off, gets quoted before we touch it.
