Why Colchester businesses choose KJW Media

What's Holding You Back

A city growing this fast leaves static marketing behind. Colchester's skyline keeps changing, from the Northern Gateway to new housing across the borough, yet many local firms are still trading on imagery shot years ago. Customers notice the mismatch. Fresh aerial content shows a business keeping pace with the city around it.

What we deliver

Our Colchester services cover aerial photography, aerial video production, construction and site progress filming and property or land imagery. We're based in Chelmsford, half an hour down the A12, and fly here often. Airspace around the garrison gets proper attention in planning, and every deliverable is edited before it reaches you.

The Result

The footage goes to work quickly. Developers track schemes for investors across the city's growth areas. Agents market homes and commercial units with position and context visible. Venues and attractions get content that performs on social channels. And everything is shot with the care a city of listed buildings and Roman walls deserves.

STAG Solar
Drone / Videography / Photography

We have engaged with KJW media for a number of drone based projects and have found Kian highly responsive. We have typically engaged Kian with a concept and he has been proactive in brain storming with us and making creative suggestions. Then once he has recorded the footage agreed we have found him patient and interested when we have requested edits and adaptions, implementing these quickly. Like us he is clearly interested in his trade and craft and this makes him a great person to collaborate with. We feel KJW's pricing makes their services very accessible, hence our using them on multiple occasions this year alone. Well worth asking for a quote as you may be surprised.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover Colchester and the borough?

Yes, frequently. Chelmsford to Colchester is thirty minutes on the A12, and we fly across the whole borough from Stanway to Wivenhoe. Garrison-area airspace needs proper planning, which we handle as part of every booking.

What would a typical brief look like?

Most briefs mix aerial photography, aerial videography, construction and site progress and property and land in some proportion. We shape the flight around that mix, sort the airspace side, then hand over finished files. A companion set via photography around Colchester often completes the picture nicely.

Is aerial work expensive?

Less than most people assume, and cheaper than scaffolding, cherry pickers or re-shooting weak marketing later. Each Colchester job is priced on its own terms, with the complete figure agreed before anything gets scheduled.

How long is the wait after a shoot?

The edit sets the pace. Simple stills move quickly; a produced film properly takes longer. Either way you will know the delivery plan for the Colchester job before the drone flies, not after it lands.

Which neighbouring places do you serve?

Wivenhoe and Stanway for a start, plus Marks Tey, West Mersea and Brightlingsea. Distance between sites this close together barely registers, so multi-stop briefs across the area are welcomed rather than treated as awkward.

Can one company cover all our content needs?

That is the model. Aerial work here, photography around Colchester and videography on the ground, social media management for distribution. Fewer hand-offs, faster decisions, and imagery that matches wherever it happens to appear.
