The Ashworth Arms Engagement

Boutique Hotel & Restaurant · Lake District · 2024

When the Ashworth Arms approached us, they had a clear problem: stunning interiors, exceptional food, and a devoted local following — but virtually no digital presence that conveyed any of it. Their existing marketing relied on static photography and a dated website. Online bookings had plateaued for eighteen months.

We proposed a three-part documentary series rather than a single promotional film. The first instalment followed their head chef sourcing ingredients from nearby farms at dawn. The second captured the renovation of a Georgian wing, interviewing the architect and stonemasons. The third was an intimate portrait of a couple celebrating their anniversary at the hotel — real guests, real emotion, no script.

"We expected a corporate video. What we received was something our guests actually wanted to watch and share. The comments section became a booking channel."— Harriet Langford, General Manager, Ashworth Arms

The series launched across their website, YouTube, and targeted social campaigns. Within eleven weeks, direct online bookings increased by 218%. The average booking value rose because guests specifically requested the rooms and experiences they had seen in the films. The chef's episode alone generated over 40,000 organic views — remarkable for a property with 22 rooms.

More importantly, the content continued to perform. Six months after launch, the videos still accounted for the single largest referral source to their booking page, outperforming paid search by a factor of three.

Key Result 218% Increase in direct bookings over 11 weeks

Content Lifespan 6+ mo Still the top referral source after half a year

More Narratives from Our Work

Fenwick Legal Partners

Corporate Law · Manchester · 2023

A mid-sized law firm needed to recruit senior associates but struggled to differentiate against larger competitors. We produced a series of candid partner interviews — no scripts, no staged boardrooms. Shot in their actual offices during working hours, the films showed the culture rather than describing it.

Applications to senior roles increased by 74% in the quarter following launch. Two lateral hires cited the videos directly as the reason they applied.

Result: 74% increase in senior applications · 2 direct lateral hires attributed to video

Briar & Thorn Floristry

Artisan Retail · Bristol · 2024

An independent florist wanted to expand into wedding consultation. We created a single long-form film following a real wedding preparation from first consultation through to the ceremony installation. The emotional arc was genuine — the bride's reaction when she saw the finished arrangements became the centrepiece of the edit.

Wedding enquiries through their website went from two per month to eleven within six weeks. The film now plays on a loop in their studio and has become part of the consultation experience itself.

Result: 450% increase in wedding enquiries · Film integrated into sales process

What We Actually Do

We are a video production studio based in England. Our work spans brand documentaries, corporate communication films, recruitment content, product launches, event coverage, and social-first short-form series.

We don't maintain a fixed rate card because no two projects share the same scope. A recruitment film for a six-person startup requires a fundamentally different approach than a product launch for a national retailer. We scope each engagement individually after an initial consultation.

Our team handles every stage internally — from narrative design through to final colour grade and delivery. We own our equipment, employ our editors, and work with a small roster of trusted freelance specialists for projects that require additional crew.

We are selective about the work we take on. We look for clients who understand that effective video is not about production polish alone — it's about having something genuine to say and the patience to say it well.

Is This a Good Fit?

We work best with organisations that have a genuine story to tell and a commercial reason to tell it. If you're looking for a quick social media clip with stock music, we're probably not the right studio.

If you want video that changes how people perceive your brand — and you can measure the difference — we should talk.
