trusted by Glasgow SMEs and billion-dollar corporates - see how it works below

a creative ally, not a stack of invoices

Most content gets made in a panic, one job at a time, with no thread tying it together. The Story Partnership flips that. It’s a monthly retainer that gives you a creative ally instead of a stack of separate invoices, someone who knows your business, your people and your story, and keeps building it month after month. The longer we work together, the better it gets, because access compounds and trust does the heavy lifting.

The Story Partnership can cover both video and photography content - in any mix you need, depending on your business needs at the time.

is this for you?

The Story Partnership works best if you’ve got an ongoing need to show up, a few channels to feed, and you’re sick of scrambling for content every quarter. If you just need one thing, once, start with The First Story instead.

There's no sense paying monthly for something a single project would cover.

don’t take my word for it

Every stakeholder just loved it. Super quick turnaround, and the messaging was right first time. We've had loads of engagement on our intranet.

why a partnership beats one-off jobs

why a partnership beats one-off jobs

A single shoot serves a single moment. A partnership builds a library, a rhythm and a story that grows. You stop reinventing the wheel every quarter, your content starts pulling in the same direction, and you’ve always got someone who already knows the brief, because they helped write it.

how it works

Each month we shape, capture, build and amplify a fresh batch of content using the same framework.

01

shape

Before anyone picks up a camera, we get clear on what you’re trying to say and who needs to hear it this month. This is The Story Brief for the period ahead.

02

capture

We capture it properly, with the time and access the story deserves, whether that’s film, photography or a mix of both. I work quietly and catch the real moments.

03

build

We build it into finished content from that month’s content day: a hero film or a full photo story, plus social cuts, stills and a Story Bank you can keep drawing from.

04

amplify

Your content is built to be used, repurposed and seen, so one shoot keeps working long after the month ends.

three ways in, one direction of travel

01

the first story

A complete first project, fixed price, and a real feel for how I work. The best place to start if content matters to your business. Shape, capture, build, amplify.
