Turns out Albert the shire horse fancied himself as a bit of a director today 🐴🎥

Adam was out filming Boston Park Farm when Albert decided the footage needed his personal approval and came in for a closer look at the camera. Didn't say much, but the judging eyebrows said it all 😂

Honestly, some of our favourite shoots are the ones with a bit of chaos in them. You can plan the shot list all you want, but nothing beats a curious 900kg film critic wandering into frame.

Thanks for the quality control, Albert. 10/10, would film with you again.

You filmed one video, edited it perfectly, and posted it everywhere 🎥

LinkedIn: 47 views
Instagram: 3,000 views
YouTube: 12 views

Same video. Completely different results.

Why? Every platform has its own algorithm, its own audience, and its own rules for what gets rewarded. Posting the same thing everywhere and hoping it lands isn't a strategy.

📌 LinkedIn rewards value, longer captions and subtitles win.
📌 Instagram gives you 2 seconds to hook a scroll. Short Reels perform best.
📌 YouTube is a search engine, longer content with strong titles wins.
📌 Facebook has a huge audience but needs early engagement to get organic reach.
📌 TikTok rewards raw, authentic content over polish.

One shoot should give you multiple pieces of content, not one copy-paste post 📲

Most business websites answer the wrong questions…

05/08/2026

Bad copy talks about the business. Good copy talks to the customer.

Most businesses spend thousands on a website and about twenty minutes on the words. The design looks great, the branding is on point and then the homepage says something like ‘we are a passionate team of dedicated professionals delivering tailored solutions’💻

Nobody reads that and thinks these are the people I want to work with…

Good copy makes the right person feel like you're talking directly to them. It speaks to a problem they actually have, in language they'd actually use and makes the next step feel obvious.

Here's the quickest way to tell which one you've got: read your homepage out loud. If it sounds like a press release, it probably needs work.

Have you ever looked at your website and thought... why isn't this bringing in enquiries? 🤔

The truth is, it's not always about getting more traffic. Sometimes it's the little things on your website that stop visitors from becoming customers.

From unclear messaging to weak calls to action, a few simple changes could make a big difference.

If your website feels more like an online brochure than a tool that brings in business, this one's worth a read.

📱 "Something is better than nothing..."

We hear this all the time when it comes to social media content.

But here's the thing... not always.

If the first thing someone sees when they visit your page is a dark, shaky video with poor sound, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence. Your content is often the first impression people get of your business, so it's worth making it count.

That doesn't mean every video needs expensive cameras or a full production team. Some of the best-performing videos are filmed on a phone.

The difference? A bit of thought.

Good lighting. Clear framing. Decent audio. Content that feels intentional.

You've worked hard to build your business, so don't let a rushed video tell the wrong story.

Do you agree, or do you think any content is better than no content?

A new menu deserves more than a quick photo on your phone. 🎥🌿

We recently spent the evening capturing the new evening nibbles menu at Joni Botanical Gardens, and what a setting it is.

From the natural light to the beautiful surroundings, every detail helped bring the food to life on camera.

Great hospitality content isn't just about showing what's on the plate. It's about capturing the atmosphere that makes people want to visit, book a table and experience it for themselves.

If you've got a new menu, a venue refresh or a seasonal launch coming up, we'd love to help you show it off.

It’s a mistake we see constantly where small businesses look at what big brands are doing on social media and try to replicate it with a fraction of the
