The 5 best digital branding studios in London that are setting the bar high
Some brands just get it, and it’s not luck. A big part of their success comes down to digital branding. You can have a brilliant product, but if no one connects with the story behind it, you’re basically whispering into the void.
That’s why digital branding studios aren’t a “nice to have”. They’re a smart move. The good news is, London has no shortage of them, so you’re not exactly stuck for choice.
Even better, our team did the legwork already. We dug through portfolios, spoke to clients, and looked closely at how these studios actually operate day to day.
Here are the best digital branding studios in London that actually deliver good value.
How much do digital branding studios in London charge for their services?
Digital branding studios in London usually charge £8,000–£20,000 for a full strategic brand with digital assets. This includes art direction and creative concepts, plus professionally produced content like photography and video shoots.
1. Northworks Studio
Contact: [email protected]
Business hours:
- Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours
Unlike other companies, Northworks Studio isn’t just about graphics. They tell stories through visuals, such as photos and videos.
Looking at their portfolio, it’s clear that they can handle everything. They’ve worked with big names like Rolls-Royce, Patron Tequila, and Amarula. Their client roster is honestly impressive.
Clients we talked to appreciated that Northworks Studio’s team jumps in with creative ideas. It makes them feel like a collaborative partner rather than just a service provider.
One of the things that really sets them apart, though, is their expertise in live events and drone videography.
We’ve heard instances where they covered complex events with multicam setups. They can even capture aerial shots that add a cinematic feel too.
And take note, all of this content is delivered fast enough to post on social media almost in real time.
We just hope they’d make their pricing more transparent online. It’d be easier for clients who want to compare options, especially those who are budget-conscious.
The attention to detail and quality of the team and work have always been superb
“Incredible company! Worked with them multiple times on a few projects, the professionalism, attention to detail and quality of the team and work have always been superb!”

I’d recommend them to anyone
“Alex and the team were an absolute breeze to work with across a number of shoots that we’ve done together. I’d recommend them to anyone.”

2. Beast Video Production Company London
Address: 6-10 Dunston St
Phone: +44 7473 821314
Business hours:
- Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours
Beast Video Production makes cinematic experiences for brands. From the first spark of an idea to the final polished cut, they handle everything under one roof.
This means you don’t have to chase multiple studios or wrestle with fragmented timelines. It’s also why their workflow is seamless and cohesive.
Their portfolio speaks for itself. It featured Apple, LG, IKEA, and other big companies.
They do short social clips to full-on global campaigns. From what we’ve observed, they’re skilled with mixing creativity and production skills in a way that feels more like a film set than a typical ad agency.
Customers also mentioned how dynamic the team is. They’ll go the extra mile to meet deadlines and coordinate multiple people around the world, which isn’t easy.
Of course, this level of expertise comes at a price. A lot of people note that their services are premium, so they might not be the right fit for small businesses or startups.
We are delighted with our brand video
“I was after a B2B video, but didn’t want the normal cliched boring business videos. We had an idea about the kind of video we wanted to make for our brand and then we stumbled upon something very similar on the Beast London Video Production website. But it’s one thing to see the video that you want and then see it come to life, tailored to your own brand. We were nervous and had to extend a huge amount of trust, but it all paid off. We are delighted with our brand video for Herbalife Nutrition and will be entering it into the Brand Film Awards 2020. Special thanks to Victoria, Lawrence and Mel. Looking forwards to our next video production with Beast!”

Cannot recommend then highly enough
“Beast have made two brilliant brand videos for us. Cannot recommend then highly enough, if you want a really creative and well organised video production this is the production company for you. Eddie Lofthouse, CEO, Harbour Brewing co.”

3. LiveUP Media – Video Production Company London
Address: Kemp House, 152 – 160 City Rd
Phone: +44 7515 480327
Business hours:
- Monday to Thursday: Open 24 hours
- Friday: 7:30 AM – 9 PM
- Saturday: 9:30 AM – 7 PM
- Sunday: 9:30 AM – 8:30 PM
LiveUP Media’s specialisation in mixing cinematic storytelling with motion graphics makes them stand out.
They cover the full spectrum: B2B tech demos, Amazon product ads, and even corporate training videos.
We love that they make every second count, with content that’s easy to test, tweak, and use across platforms.
It’s fast, flexible, and perfect for brands in tech or e-commerce that need to move quickly.
According to clients, they have a straightforward and commercial-savvy approach. They focus on showing off the product effectively. They know how to turn products into real attention-grabbers.
One client even mentioned that the video they made actually boosted engagement and sales.
That said, their team is small. They’re best suited for projects that value quality over quantity.
If you’re expecting a massive multi-channel campaign or a hands-on production army, you might find them a bit too streamlined.
The result is absolutely great and, what is important, on time!
“We had an opportunity to cooperate with LiveUp Media on a video presentation for promoting our company completed installations – there were 2 case studies of dust collecting systems (wood processing industry). The communication was very good, Allan led us through each stage of this project and the result is absolutely great and, what is important, on time!”
Ewa Wachsman, Google review
The finished product exceeded all my expectations
“Allan and his crew are very professional and went to a great length to ensure the successful shooting of my commercial video. The finished product (my commercial video) exceeded all my expectations! I was very impressed by the creative and modern touch applied during editing to bring such video that made me go “wow” when each time I see it. I will be using Allan and his crew again in the future and I highly recommend Allan. Thank you Allan”

4. Pocket Creatives Video Production and Photography
Address: Unit 3, Wow Workspaces Battersea Pocket Creatives, 7-9 Ingate Pl, Nine Elms
Phone: +44 20 3633 8494
Business hours:
- Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours
Pocket Creatives is a full-service studio that handles TV ads, campaigns, and social content. They can also handle promos and crowdfunding.
They also do photography and usually cover products, lifestyle, people, and events.
The big thing we noticed is their “pocket-first” approach. It means everything is designed to look great on phones—where, honestly, most of us live now. It puts them ahead of studios still thinking in widescreen-only terms.
Clients said they’re easy to work with. Their punctuality and clear communication didn’t go unnoticed. During work, the atmosphere is always calm, which we appreciate.
Creativity is also another strength. They don’t just excuse but actually bring fresh ideas and a clear vision to the table.
One brand said the team really listened to what they were trying to achieve and translated that into visuals that nailed their look and feel.
Bonus points for delivery being faster than expected too.
However, they’re not the cheapest option. Their services are a bit pricey, but considering everything we know, it’s worth it.
Great service and end result
“Great service and end result. Very happy with my images across the range. Lauren, Steven and the team were fantastic, keeping me up to date throughout the whole process. Would definitely recommend Pocket Creatives. No project is too big nor too small for them. Extremely accommodating and tailor each project based on the clients’ needs. They’re also super friendly! Fantastic all round – thank you very much.”
Ashok Meyyappan, Google review
Pocket Creatives are a fantastic team to work with
“Pocket Creatives are a fantastic team to work with. From initial contact, we had ideas flowing and communication throughout was fantastic. Really pleased with the outcome and we look forward to working together in the future!”

5. Clear As Day Productions
Address: 49 Greek St
Phone: +44 20 3282 6641
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday: 9 AM – 6 PM
- Saturday to Sunday: Closed
Clear As Day Productions sits comfortably in the digital branding studio world, especially if video is a big part of how you tell your story.
Branded content and promo videos are their main thing, but they’re not stuck in one lane. Live-action, animation, motion graphics, VFX—it all lives under their roof.
A lot of clients said they’re good at turning complicated stuff into something people actually want to watch.
One client mentioned that Liam and his team helped explain complex data products that made sense, without dumbing things down or making it boring. This makes them ideal for tech brands.
They do the planning, on-location shoots with specialists like drone operators and sound techs, and editing.
But what impressed us is that they’re also ready for post-campaign reporting that looks at ROI. This way, brands know if the content they finished actually did its job.
Their setup is lean and direct. Clients deal directly with the creatives, and the founders split cleanly between production and editing/VFX. Everyone sticks to their lane.
The small reality check is that they aren’t the most transparent with pricing.
Liam and the team were incredibly easy to work with
“Liam and team created a series of professional videos to help explain our data products and capabilities. The results were fantastic, and have helped us to share complex information in a simplified way. Liam and team were incredibly easy to work with and contributed to shaping the vision. We will be using Clear As Day again.”
Michael Lubacz, Google review
Friendly, competent, creative, professional, responsive
“I worked with Liam at very short notice for a corporate video to support the launch of a report. Not only did he completely get the brief from the start but quickly turned it into something that looked exactly like what I had in my head so there was very little back and forth to get it over the line. And it was all done incredibly quickly to boot. Friendly, competent, creative, professional, responsive – would definitely recommend Clear As Day Productions!”
