About us

Velvet Pig was officially established in April 2021.

After ten years of working in post-production and occasionally dipping my hand into production, I left my job as the Head of Post Production at Element 26, a company I had been with since its inception and helped build.

I immediately found myself working more gigs than I had time (or appetite) to work at once. Fortunately, I knew a great editor, colourist, and creative to work with and Louis was quickly a regular freelancer alongside several producers, camera ops, and sound crews who were able to provide a range of services I could never offer on my own. And so Velvet Pig continued to grow with Louis joining full-time as the second full-time staff member, our network of freelancers continuing to grow.

We've made explainers, testimonials, and case studies. Features films, music videos, and TV commercials, and just about everything in between. But the most enjoyable projects and the ones that inevitably achieved the most all had one thing in common: A compelling story.

For this reason we genuinely care about the companies and more importantly, the people we work with on both sides of the production.

Many agencies tell you what they are (usually all things to all men) so here's what we're not:‍

- We don't use our student film achievements or some obscure pay to play award so that we can call ourselves "award winning"

- We won't make crazy promises about ROI and 500% increases in traffic or sales - nothing in marketing is guaranteed, but we can promise your video will feel authentically part of your brand and shaped with you, your audience and your goals in mind. And if you're struggling to find your brands voice we can help with that too.

- We aren’t industry leading visionaries, these are few and far between and frankly the term sounds like a massive ego trip to me.
