An agency is only as convincing as its own content. The work had to sell the work.

the job

At Create Inc I made the films and content that sold the agency and its clients: a showreel ad for the studio itself, event coverage, client testimonials, and the whole social and Shopify side of a drinks launch.

the approach

Short, fast and built for the feed. Social pieces are cut vertical first and captioned for sound off; the bigger films get the cinematic treatment. Every one ends on a clear next step.

Talks and panels at Aviva Studios in Manchester, the home of Factory International. Shot on the floor and cut into a thirty second reel that gets the energy of the day across before the sound even comes on.

02 / Client testimonial

rattle & roll.

A testimonial that sounds like a conversation, not a script.

Katy Emmerson Rattle & Roll Performance

One camera, natural light, and questions that get people talking. Cut down to the lines that matter, with clean lower thirds and captions for the scroll.

04 / Brand book launch

brand book vol. iii.

Create Inc's own brand book, launched like a product. A cinematic brand film sets the tone, a promo shows the book itself, and an eleven second glitch-type teaser builds anticipation before the drop.

"A brand is what they say it is. Not what you say it is."

05 / Community launch

project inc.

The launch of Project Inc, a Midlands based creative community that teaches commerciality and opens the door to paid creative work. A kinetic type promo, a launch film with the directors, and a street vox pop asking the question everyone in the industry is thinking: will AI take your job?

"Take back control on your projects."
