SLONK WINES HIGHLIGHTS
Wine educator and drinks consultant Isobel Salamon (Slonk Wines), wanted to capture her inaugural 'Clay' event with a video that would drive engagement with her new brand on social media and boost her reputation and visibility as a rising talent within the global drinks industry.As a solo crew and providing all post-production myself I was able to work efficiently, while providing a standout video (in portrait and landscape versions) that allowed the event and brand to truly shine amongst a sea of interchangeable, self-produced reels.
From Isobel:
"You've outdone yourself... I LOVE it and can't wait to share the special video. And also to work with you again."
THE LANE FINE JEWELLERY
SALES FILM
From Catherine Fiabane - The Lane Fine Jewellery
"I was looking for a way of bringing credibility to my business, of showing the creator behind the brand, the inspirations that my jewellery blooms from and an insight into the craftsmanship involved in its creation.
Rob instantly understood the brief and made a beautiful piece that perfectly captured the mood of my brand.
From our first brainstorming session, all the way through filming and editing, he was friendly and approachable - always open to new ideas and alterations. He brought to the project a wonderful creative eye, and made me feel instantly at ease in front of the camera.I've since used his video in a number of arenas - on my website, social media, and the websites of external stockists - and have had nothing but positive responses.
It has certainly increased the numbers of enquiries I receive for bespoke and custom items and has established trust in me and the quality of my work."
BRUNCH AT TATTU
SOCIAL CONTENT
Tattu, an award-winning and fast-growing modern restaurant group known for its striking interiors and theatrical dining, commissioned a launch film to promote its new brunch experience.
The content needed to convey the excellence of the offering - cocktails, a set menu of signature dishes, and live entertainment featuring a DJ and saxophonist - while remaining true to Tattu’s dramatic, low-lit aesthetic.The hero Instagram film plus social-optimised cut-downs drove positive online engagement and helped position Tattu’s brunch as a standout new experience.

INNIS & GUNN ON THE MOUND
SOCIAL MEDIA PROMOTION
Summer pop-up events live and die by their ability to generate buzz and create a sense of FOMO, so Wanderers Kneaded and Innis & Gunn needed standout social media content to authentically capture the unique offering of their 'Innis & Gunn on The Mound' site.The work needed to showcase not only their fantastic pizza and beer, but also the offerings of fellow vendors such as Wanderer's Street Food and Lazeez. Plus of course the live music they were hosting from the likes of folk supergroup Mànran.From a single event shoot, I was able to deliver a comprehensive social media package, including a high-energy hero reel, professional photography and multiple additional recuts for their ongoing promotional needs.Within days of launch, the hero content became the most viewed reel of 2025 on the client's Instagram channel, providing exceptional value, engagement and reach for the brands involved.

THE ROYAL FOUNDATION
CENTRE FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD
CAMPAIGN FILMS
The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood commissioned me and Authentically to produce a series of films highlighting the lifelong impact of supporting children in their earliest years.For the campaign, my role involved concept development, producing, scripting and editing the films, plus sound design, colour grading and outputting multiple versions for diverse use across channels.The film shared above launched their Business Taskforce event at Salesforce Tower, setting the stage for HRH the Princess of Wales' keynote speech.It has since been shared on her personal social channels, garnering 1 million+ views in its first week, helping to amplify the national conversation around early childhood.
Client feedback on event audience response:
"The films looked brilliant and the Princess loved them"
