Engaging HD content

Nothing drives customer engagement like well produced HD video.  From short promo films to facebook video, documentaries and podcasts, we've worked with fashion, law enforcement, sports, tourism and local government clients to get their message across.

Apart from capturing great content, we can help you build a storyboard, develop your script, supply voiceover and add production elements to brand your videos and produce a professional output.

Since 2008 Essential Edinburgh has promoted the interests of Edinburgh's city centre — from enhanced cleaning services to marketing, events, group purchase of key services, public relations, advocacy, lobbying and engagement on behalf of its members. We've been proud to work with them across a wide range of campaigns, including the design of joined-up strategic communications to engage with their members. This video was part of their most recent re-election campaign. Our work on this campaign included message design, copywriting, engagement activity, videography, business plan and document design

COVID-19 has changed the world like nothing before it. Almost overnight public transport systems saw a massive drop in demand as commuters started to work from home and leisure travel stopped. What have we learned and how can the railway industry build back better? It is our privilege to support, promote and provide the online infrastructure to run this important conference for the Institution of Railway Signal Engineers and Siemens.

Helping smaller businesses weather the unprecedented challenge of the global COVID-19 pandemic took imagination, dedication and resource. The IEE employer fund was able to make a genuine difference through strategic grants, designed to help smaller businesses survive.

Creating the Shop Here This Year campaign for the City of Edinburgh Council was an exciting opportunity to connect with local businesses and promote the importance of supporting the traders in your local community, particularly in times of crisis when the ‘just in time’ supply chains we’ve grown used to can fall apart almost overnight. One of our favourite shops, The Refillery in Newington were quick to get on board.

Despite the pandemic changing our filming plans, we were privileged to make a short film to celebrate LGBT History Month. So much queer history is told through a London or North American lens, it was exciting to engage with key characters from Edinburgh’s LGBT story, the work they have done and continue to do today.

Bringing to life the Annual Review of Edinburgh’s Business Improvement District

Fifteen years ago, Helen Bateman opened her designer shoe boutique on William Street in Edinburgh's West End. We have had the privilege of not only capturing her collections on camera, but building a genuine bond with this amazing creative talent.
