Made for businesses on the Colne

What's Holding You Back

Brightlingsea has businesses that are better in person than online. A boatyard with forty years behind it, a cafe with a view down the creek, and a Facebook page last updated in spring. Visitors decide before they arrive, and they decide on what they can see. The gap costs bookings in season.

What we deliver

We come over from Chelmsford, which is around forty minutes, and cover the Colne villages on the same trip. A content day gets stills and vertical video around the harbour, the yard or the kitchen. Regattas, race weekends and openings are covered as they happen. Then we plan, write, schedule and post through the month.

The Result

Seasonal work gets easier to sell. There is a library ready before the summer instead of a scramble in June. The page looks active out of season, which matters for winter bookings and marine work. Enquiries mention things they saw online, and that is usually the clearest sign it is working.

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 come out to Brightlingsea?

We do. It is about forty minutes from Chelmsford, and we usually build a Brightlingsea day around the tide and the light rather than the clock. If neighbouring villages need covering on the same trip, that works well.

What does the service cover in Brightlingsea?

Content creation, short-form video, monthly management and coverage of launches or events. We shoot, edit, write and post. Marine clients often add drone filming in Brightlingsea for shots from over the water.

How much is social media management here?

Priced per project once we know the shape of it. Seasonal businesses often want heavier coverage in summer and lighter through winter, and we quote for that pattern rather than charging the same every month regardless.

When will content be ready to post?

After editing and your approval. Shoot size and how quickly you come back to us set the pace, so we agree dates at booking. For events we prioritise a small batch so something can go out that week.

Do you cover the villages around Brightlingsea?

Yes. St Osyth, Point Clear, Thorrington, Alresford and Great Bentley are close, and we also work in Wivenhoe, Elmstead Market, West Mersea and Frating. Several of those can be covered on one trip across the Colne side.

Can you also shoot photos, video and drone?

All three run alongside social: photography in Brightlingsea, videography in Brightlingsea and drone filming in Brightlingsea. Booking them together is the efficient way to build a season of content in advance.
