Most of what we produce ends up in front of prospective students, apprentices, parents or employers.
Content creation
Video production, animation and design for education and training.
We’ve been making content for colleges, universities, schools, training providers and careers services since 2014. It’s all made in-house, in our studio in Histon or on location anywhere in the UK, and it’s planned around where it’s going to be used before we pick up a camera.
What we make
Three disciplines, one team.
Most projects end up using more than one of them. A course launch might need a film, a short animation for social and a printed guide for open evening, and it helps when the same people make all three.
Video production
Course and campus promos, open day films, apprentice and alumni case studies, event coverage and e-learning. Filmed in our studio or wherever the story actually is.

Explainers that make a qualification, a funding route or a careers pathway easy to follow. Handy when there’s nothing to film, or when the honest answer is a bit complicated.

Prospectuses, course guides, branding, infographics and exhibition stands. We can manage the print side too, from specification through to delivery.

Whether you need to simplify a complex curriculum or capture the heart of your campus culture, we’re here to help you navigate the options.
Our approach
How a project runs.
Concept
Bring us an idea, or a blank page. We start by listening to your audience and your targets.
Plan
Scripts, schedules and stakeholders sorted, for single teams or multi-partner projects.
Create
Filming, editing, design and animation, handled by our in-house team.
Place
We make sure your content is seen and becomes part of your wider marketing strategy.
Questions we get asked
It depends on what’s involved. Animation generally costs more than a day’s filming, and a campaign with several films works differently again. We work by project, by the hour or on retainer, and we’ll give you a clear quote once we know what you need.
Yes. Our studio is in Histon, just outside Cambridge, but plenty of our filming happens on location at colleges, campuses and workplaces across the UK.
Mostly it comes down to filming dates and how many people need to sign it off. If it’s tied to enrolment, an open day or clearing, tell us the date early and we’ll plan back from it.
Often, yes. We can edit, update or repurpose what you’ve got, and we’ll tell you honestly if new filming would get you a better result.
That’s the other half of what we do. Our marketing services cover social, email, SEO and paid campaigns, so your content can be planned around its channels from day one.
Who we work with
Content for the education, training and careers sector.
Nearly everything we do is in this sector. That means we already know the enrolment calendar, the sign-off chains, and why a learner and a student aren’t always the same thing.
Further education colleges
Course promos, enrolment campaigns and open evening content that has to work hard between June and September.
Universities
Department films, research explainers and student stories for recruitment, open days and clearing.
Independent schools
Admissions films and prospectus design that show parents what a normal day there feels like, not just the best bits.
Training providers and apprenticeships
Case studies with real apprentices and employers. In our experience they do more for recruitment than any brochure.
Careers and employability services
Short films and explainers that help young people and adults see which routes are actually open to them.
Skills bodies and awarding organisations
Clear animation and design for qualifications, reforms and skills plans that need explaining to lots of different people at once.
