Why Thurrock businesses choose KJW Media

What's Holding You Back

Thurrock is one of the country's great logistics engines, and engines this size can't be photographed from a car park. Ports, distribution parks, river frontage and construction on a national scale run from Purfleet to London Gateway, yet much of the borough's business marketing still thinks in shopfronts. Aerial imagery is the honest unit of measurement here.

What we deliver

We work borough-wide, with aerial photography, aerial video production, construction and site progress filming and property or land imagery across every corner of Thurrock. Riverside and port-adjacent airspace is planned properly on each booking. From Chelmsford we're about forty minutes out, and multi-site briefs across the borough fold into single visits efficiently.

The Result

Clients use us across the patch: occupiers marketing units at West Thurrock, developers recording schemes in Grays and Purfleet, landowners presenting sites along the growth corridor. For town-level detail we also run dedicated pages, from Grays and Tilbury to Aveley, but for borough-wide programmes this is the starting point. One operator, one standard, every site.

Aerial photography across Thurrock

Photography that treats height as a storytelling tool rather than a gimmick, giving Thurrock premises, plots and landmarks the perspective they were built at.

Aerial video production in Thurrock

Video treated as a full production, brief to flight to grade to cut, so Thurrock clients receive a finished film rather than raw clips.

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 the whole of Thurrock?

Yes, border to border, from Purfleet in the west to the London Gateway corridor in the east. We're about forty minutes away in Chelmsford, travel is included, and multi-site borough briefs are a speciality.

Can one shoot cover several requirements?

Usually, yes. A single well-planned flight often delivers aerial photography, aerial videography, construction and site progress and property and land together, which keeps budgets sensible and diaries short. Add social content for Thurrock and the same material stretches across every channel your business runs.

How are bigger programmes costed?

As programmes. Recurring flyovers, multi-site briefs and phased campaigns receive one structured figure rather than a pile of separate invoices, which tends to work out kinder than booking each Thurrock visit on its own.

Will we know the schedule in advance?

Completely. Before anything is confirmed you will have flight dates, a reserve day and delivery dates for each format. If the weather over Thurrock forces a shuffle, the revised plan reaches you immediately.

How far around here will you fly?

Across the whole neighbourhood: Grays, Tilbury, Aveley and South Ockendon, and out to Purfleet-on-Thames beyond them. The map matters less than the brief; if the sites cluster sensibly, the trip works.

Where should we look for your other services?

Right here on the site: commercial photography around Thurrock, videography and social media management each have their own page. Between them and the drone, most marketing briefs are covered from end to end.
