Financial services video production.
Market updates, investment outlooks, client events and staff training for London's asset managers, wealth managers, banks and consultancies, planned around your compliance review. Our work includes McKinsey and the Financial Conduct Authority, plus recurring investment content for HSBC through agency partners.
Recurring market and investment content and leadership training for HSBC, through agency partners. A CFO interview for a McKinsey & Company executive programme. Recruitment films for the Financial Conduct Authority. Three years of CBRE’s supply chain partner conference.
Your investment team has a view every month. Getting it on screen in time is the hard part.
The CIO's view is current for a few weeks. By the time the data is final, the script is agreed, the filming is done and compliance has read every line, much of that window has gone. When every update is planned from scratch, each one costs the same effort and the series stalls. Settle the format once, with a crew that knows how your sign-off runs, and each episode starts from a template rather than a blank page.

Work we can show.
Financial Conduct Authority: one of a 2016 series of recruitment films on what it is like to work at the FCA.
CBRE: the supply chain partner conference, filmed for three consecutive years.
Much of our financial work, including the HSBC content, is confidential and is not shown here.
What slows financial video down.
None of these are unusual, and all of them are workable if they are planned for at the start.
The data is final, and the window is short
A monthly update cannot be filmed until the numbers are in, and it has to clear compliance before it goes out. If the schedule leaves no room for review, the update arrives when the view is already old.
The person with the strongest view is not always the most comfortable on camera
Portfolio managers know their subject and can still stiffen when the camera rolls. A conversation with a host, short takes, and an autocue only for the lines compliance has approved word for word all help.
Every clip has to stand on its own
If a sixty-second cut for LinkedIn is a financial promotion, it has to comply on its own. The warning, the audience label and the context travel with it, so we plan them into each cut rather than adding them at the end.
A series with a fixed look, so each episode takes less work.
We agree the format once: the set or location, framing, graphics, where supers and risk warnings sit, caption style and the versions you need. Each month or quarter we film your CIO or fund managers and deliver the main update with short cuts by theme or asset class. Subtitled language versions follow from the approved English master.
The finished films and the footage are yours to use on your website, platforms, client events and internal channels, without additional usage fees.
How we make sign-off easier.
Approving the content is your compliance team's job, and we do not claim otherwise. Our part is to hand them something that is quick to review.
The audience is agreed before the script
Professional or retail, UK only or wider distribution. It changes the supers, the warnings and whether a master can be re-cut for social, so we settle it first.
Warnings sit where they apply
Risk warnings and disclaimers stay on screen for the section they relate to, as FCA guidance on financial promotions in video describes, rather than only at the end. Every cut-down is built to make sense on its own.
Every version is numbered
Each cut goes to your reviewers as a numbered version, so every comment is tied to a specific cut, and the approved master is delivered with its captions and supers in place.
Confidential until you publish
We are glad to work to an NDA and keep drafts on private review links. Nothing appears in our portfolio without your permission.
Much of our financial work is confidential. What we can say: we produce recurring market and investment content and leadership training for HSBC through agency partners, and our clients include McKinsey & Company, the Financial Conduct Authority and CBRE.
What we make for financial services.
Market outlooks & house views
Quarterly or annual, the CIO or a strategist on camera, usually with a host, plus short cuts by asset class.
Monthly market & investment updates
A short, repeatable format, planned around your month-end and your review cycle.
Fund updates & meet the manager
Portfolio managers on positioning and outlook, with one series look across funds and regions.
Client events & conferences
Recorded talks and panels for on-demand viewing, and a highlight film while the day is still fresh.
Leadership programmes & recruitment
Senior-leader interviews and programme films for leadership development, and careers films that show what working at the firm is like.
Staff training & onboarding
Skills, product and onboarding films for staff, and mandatory subjects such as Conduct Rules and Consumer Duty, delivered as captioned video files for your LMS or e-learning team.
Start with one episode.
The clearest way to find out is to make one. We agree the format with you, film a single update with your CIO or a fund manager, and take it through your normal sign-off. If it works, the next episode follows the same template. If an outlook is not the right place to start, a single training module or one client event works the same way. It starts with a short call, and a fixed written quote follows.
A short conversation about what you are trying to achieve, and how video could support it.
