Your business. Through a fresh lens

A good video will bring your business to life, create an emotional connection with your audience and enhance your exposure and credibility.  

Retaining eyeballs for long enough to achieve all that won’t be easy, but that’s where I come in. 

Hi I’m James, I’ve spent most of my career helping tech businesses translate product features into effective marketing messages.

But since finding an old camera in the basement of my workplace, I got the bug for making vidoes that zing, and haven’t looked back. 

I’ve since traveled across the world making high-grade content for business and government, combining technical expertise with marketing know-how.

Today, as your Bristol-based creative partner, I can help you define your vision before bringing it to life. 

We’ll create vidoes that don’t just hook in the first five seconds, but relate stories that leave your audience feeling connected and hungry for more. 

Working for Innovate UK, the government’s innovation agency, I’ve produced videos in South Korea and Taiwan as well as a mini-series on the future of storytelling right here in Bristol.
