Our

achievements

In a fast-moving, competitive industry, our videos deliver impact time and time again. Every story, short or long, is crafted to connect with audiences, drive engagement, and spark conversations.

  • 9 million views in just 72 hours: Our “HelloFresh?” campaign for the Trade Union Congress went viral, racking up over 9 million views in just 72 hours. When HelloFresh threatened legal action if the TUC didn’t take it down, we knew we had done our job. We consider that a serious result.
  • 10 million viewers across UK broadsheets: One of our retainer clients, Omaze, is one of the fastest-growing start-ups in the world. Our videos for them have been seen by over 10 million viewers across UK broadsheets, proof that fast-paced cuts and credible storytelling drive real engagement.

A word from
our founder

I founded this agency with a clear mission: to champion equality and tell stories that actually matter. My goal has always been to put video at the heart of campaigns, sparking conversations, driving engagement, and increasing conversions for organizations I truly believe in.

True equality isn’t just about the stories we put on screen; it’s about who is behind the camera. In an industry where women still make up less than 15% of technical roles, I am deeply committed to building diverse, representative crews that challenge the status quo.

This ethos has shaped my 15-year journey. My passion for building talented, diverse teams has taken me from small, social-impact projects to large-scale international corporates. I care deeply about every project we touch, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the journey.
