story. strategy. film.
Two decades of brand storytelling. Now let’s tell yours.
what i do
storytelling with strategy
I help you tell your story. That’s it, really. But I do it with twenty years of strategy, planning, and brand experience behind every frame. Before the cameras roll, I make sure we’ve nailed the message, the audience, and the feeling you want to leave behind.
It’s not just about filming what happens. It’s about shaping what it means. From concept to delivery, every step is grounded in the same principles that have driven my career in some of the UK’s boldest challenger brands: clarity, connection, and story that actually moves people.
Every project looks different, because every brand’s rhythm is different. Sometimes a full-scale production with storyboarding, scripting, and a multi-day shoot. Other times, it’s flexible, ongoing monthly content — quick-turnaround films, testimonials, or social assets that keep your brand visible and human all year round.
need some video content?
let me help you with that!
I don’t just turn up with cameras. Believe it or not.
I show up with twenty years of strategy, comms, and storytelling experience that makes the content actually work. My background means I understand the bigger picture: internal engagement, external impact, brand voice, and how your story fits into all of it. That’s why I plan first, film second.
My strength is as a creative partner, not a supplier. You’ll get someone who can spot the story worth telling, shape it, and deliver it in a way that connects with real people. No jargon, no ego, no fluff. Just smart planning, solid production, and storytelling that actually lands.

I’ve got you covered
from concept to final edit
I have cameras. And plans.
From the first idea to the final edit, I’ve got you covered. With 15+ years in the world of internal comms, brand campaigns, and event coverage — think Virgin Media, O2, Liberty Global — I know how to tell stories that hit home, move people, and get remembered. That’s what you’re getting when we work together.

The stuff that I make
content that converts
If you can film it, I can help you with it.
Brand films. Social content. Internal and external comms and PR. Event coverage. Interviews, testimonials and docu-style storytelling.
This is far from an exhaustive list. I’ve made everything from films about opening an envelope to employee stories that went to audiences in 30+ countries. If in doubt, just ask.

the process
From the first conversation to the final deliverable, here’s how we work together.
01
shape
Scripting, planning, content strategy. We get clear on what you’re saying, who it’s for, and where it needs to land — before a camera is unpacked.
02
capture
Filming, direction, interviews. I get the raw material that matters, and nothing that doesn’t. Real people, real locations, real stories.
03
build
The edit. This is where we put the time in to craft your story into something that holds attention from start to finish. Colour grading, pacing, narrative arc.
04
amplify
We double down on the value of your content. Social assets, short-form cuts, repurposed clips — your story keeps working long after the shoot wraps.
your investment
Every job is different. These are guide prices to help you understand what goes into making quality content. We’ll have a proper discovery session to talk through your specific needs before any quote is confirmed. Your story is worth sharing — let’s get the investment in that story right.
