About Us

We are a full-service video production agency with studios in York and North Tyneside, UK.

We specialise in producing high-quality, high-impact content for the corporate and commercial markets worldwide, working with brands, agencies, and creatives of all sizes. 

Born in York in 2016 as a small-scale video production company primarily catering to local SMEs, we have grown into a multi-faceted video agency and production agency catering to brands, businesses, and agencies across the globe.

Our work has taken us across the world; from Barbados to Hyderabad, Sydney to Riga, allowing us to collaborate with clients and artists across several continents.

In 2023 we underwent a substantial expansion, growing our team from three to nine, setting up our Newcastle studio, expanding and refurbishing our York studio, and growing our client base substantially. 

Our brand ethos

It’s all in the name

Ether; Ether is space, stillness, that which contains and holds. Ether is the element that connects us to spirit, intuition, other realms, and planes.

Ether represents our creative approach; to building stories that unify our clients’ values and tone of voice with their audience’s pain points, needs, wants, and desires. To create content that is immersive, unique, and bespoke. To build interesting and engaging visual pieces from our own imaginations and optical palettes.

Awe; an emotion variously combining dread, veneration, and wonder that is inspired by authority or by the sacred or sublime.

Quite simply, Awe represents impact. A great story well told evokes emotions from its consumer; be that sadness, joy, dread, anger, or laughter. This is at the heart of impactful content – great content should deeply affect its audience on an emotional level. The best brands know this and that is why emotion sits at the heart of their content marketing strategies.

Creating high quality, high impact content

For some of the world’s biggest brands
