Case study · GSK

World's Healthiest Workplace

GSK built its new London headquarters with one goal: to be the healthiest workplace in the world. We made the films that show why it matters.

  • ClientGSK
  • Filmed atGSK's headquarters in central London
  • AudienceGSK employees, future hires and other employers
  • DeliveredA hero film, a 30-second cut, a square version and a cut-down
  • Year2025

The challenge

Most GSK staff didn't know how far the company had gone to build a healthy workplace. GSK wanted them to know, and wanted other companies to see why spaces like this matter.

The idea

Don't show off the building. Show what it says about GSK: a company willing to put its money where its mouth is on health.

What we did

We spoke at length with the people inside GSK and outside it who made the building, and toured it from first idea to finished space. Then we built a story where every speaker adds something new.

Case study · HSBC

East to West: Banking Without Barriers

Three people, three cities, one truth about financial independence. HSBC asked us to show what accessible banking means to the customers who rely on it.

  • ClientHSBC
  • FilmsThree customer films and a global hero film
  • Filmed inThe UK, Hong Kong and Dubai
  • VersionsEnglish and Traditional Chinese subtitles, plus an audio-described version
  • Year2026
  • AwardSilver, Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards (Dolphins) 2026

The challenge

HSBC wanted to show it leads on digital accessibility, and that accessible design gives disabled and neurodivergent customers real financial independence. It had to work in very different markets without turning disability into a token gesture.

The idea

Let customers tell it in their own words. Priyanca, a creative professional in the UK, Tracy, a deaf opera performer in Hong Kong, and Yahye, a visually impaired author in the UAE, each got their own film, woven into one global hero film.

What we did

We filmed each person on location, with a look built around their world. Accessibility was built in from the first frame, with subtitles in every market and a full audio-described version.

How a London project runs

One producer, from the first call.

Every project starts with the job the film has to do and the people who will watch it. Storypulse™, our audience-led method, maps your channels, rivals and audience before we write a word. Most films take about eight weeks from brief to finished film.

Brief

Tell us what the film has to do. Olly or a named colleague replies within two working hours.

Treatment

Your stakeholders agree the idea, the story and the look in one written treatment, before anything is filmed.

Shoot

We film in London, across the UK or abroad. For Standard Chartered, we filmed 103 employees in five cities.

Edit and versions

One producer manages review of each cut, then we deliver the versions each channel needs.

04What buyers in London ask

Questions about working with us in London.

Most live-action films we make sell for US$15,000 to US$75,000, and most animated films for US$15,000 to US$27,000. We scope each film against the value of the action it has to drive.

For a quick estimate, try our cost calculator, or read how much a video costs.

Yes. Our UK and European clients include GSK, HSBC, Rolls-Royce, Vodafone and BMW.

Our London team made HSBC's East to West, Silver at the 2026 Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards. See more in our case studies.

Across London, the UK and Europe, in client offices, studios and on location.

We also film all over the world. So far we’ve filmed in 396 cities across 67 countries and territories. See international video production and our offices.

Your stakeholders approve a written treatment before anything is filmed. After that, one producer manages review of each cut, so feedback comes in one place.

Two rounds as standard. Within reason, we keep going until the film meets the brief.

Usually about two months from brief to finished film, and often faster if it's urgent or we already know your brand. Large stakeholder groups are the most common cause of delay.

We agree how to measure success before we start, and track it after launch. If the film doesn't meet those measures, we keep working on it. We call this the Casual Guarantee.
