Brand video
in Manchester.
Story-led brand video production for businesses across Manchester and the North West. Hero films for the top of the funnel, campaign content for launches, and social cut-downs that carry the same identity through to a nine-second scroll. Built around brand strategy first, camera second.
Brand video, from hero film to social cut-down.
Hero brand films
The one film that lives on your homepage. Scripted around who you are, why you exist, and who you're for, then shot and cut to sit as a piece of brand identity in its own right.
Campaign & launch films
Product launches, seasonal pushes, rebrands. A single lead film with paid-social edits, in-store cuts and CRM versions, all built from one production day.
Founder & culture films
Interview-led films for About pages, investor decks and hiring. Warm, considered, and clearly cut, not a corporate talking head.
Social & vertical
Native 9:16 content designed for the platform, not squeezed from a landscape edit. Reels, TikTok, Shorts, all captioned and delivered in-spec.
Product & lifestyle
Tabletop, hero product, and in-context lifestyle in one shoot day. Video and photography together where the brief lets us, one crew, one look.
Ongoing content
Retainer arrangements for brands that need a steady drum of content: monthly shoot days, quarterly campaigns, always-on social.
Brief to delivery in four steps.
Every brand video is quoted bespoke. Day rates start from £350, with the final figure pinned to the brief before we begin.
- 01
Strategy
A workshop or a proper call to nail the audience, the message and the platform. Nothing gets shot until we agree what the film is for.
- 02
Treatment
A written treatment with mood, tone, structure and a fixed quote. You sign off before pre-production begins.
- 03
Shoot
Cinema-grade kit, a professional crew on location in Manchester or in our Altrincham studio, full insurance and permits handled.
- 04
Edit & deliver
Two rounds of revisions, colour and sound as standard, then exports for every channel: web, paid, in-store, socials.
Questions, answered.
What counts as a brand video?
Any film built around brand identity rather than a single product spec. That covers hero films, founder stories, culture films, launch campaigns and any social content that carries the same tone through to a nine-second cut.
How much does a Manchester brand video cost?
Every project is quoted bespoke against the brief. Day rates start from £350, with the final figure depending on crew size, shoot days, locations, cast and post-production. We quote fixed before any work begins.
Do you work with brand agencies?
Yes. Around half of our work comes through creative and brand agencies who need a production partner they can hand a treatment to. We're happy to white-label where the relationship needs it.
Can you write the script?
Yes. Most briefs come to us as a rough idea rather than a finished script. We write, storyboard and creatively direct in-house, then collaborate with your team for sign-off before the shoot.
Do you shoot in Manchester or in your studio?
Both. Some brand films need real environments (the shop floor, the warehouse, the city itself). Others sit better in a controlled studio setup. We recce ahead of shoot day either way.
How long does a brand film take?
Three to five weeks end to end for a typical brand film: one week pre-production, one or two shoot days, two to three weeks in edit. Rush turnarounds are possible if the brief and budget support them.
Based in Altrincham, on your doorstep.
Our studio is at 11 Oxford Road, Altrincham, twenty minutes from Manchester city centre. We shoot across Greater Manchester, Cheshire and the wider North West most weeks.
