adventure storytelling for brands and destinations.
BUILD YOUR BRAND LOYALTY, CONSUMER CONFIDENCE
AND MAXIMISE ROI.
Picture this...
You're ready to finally make the first step into a new and exciting adventure to a dream destination, or about to take the leap on a big investment into that next-gen bike that will open a new world of excitement and possibility.
With all the choice on offer, it's a little overwhelming. How do you pick one brand from another, or know the destination will actually deliver what you imagine?
You investigate on websites, social media, start to understand what you specifically want and why. Finally, you take the leap and commit to a choice you believe will make these dreams come true, without sampling the product or having visited the destination.
That's the power of well-executed content.
How can professional content drive sales and bookings for you?
Through vivid visuals and compelling storytelling, high-quality, on-brand content can evoke emotions, build excitement, and foster a deeper connection.
Combined with effective content strategy, this allows consumers to connect more with your brand message and believe in your products, ultimately making them more likely to take action or make a purchase.
Lake Ops Consulting utilized our content and strategy to achieve over 1 million organic views on a single content post promoting their aqua park facility, helping to maximize bookings and profits in the key holiday season and on through the rest of the summer.

BRAND FILM AND PHOTOGRAPHY
High-quality content provides a dynamic way to demonstrate features, benefits, and the unique selling points that set you apart from the competition. We can guide your viewers through the decision-making process and turn interest into tangible results.
"Our first adventure with Pilchard Productions was a multi day shoot with the shortest notice possible! Ben helped gather ideas and turn them into gold. We have been using his services ever since.
Pilchard Productions has been able to create, capture and connect our media demands. Providing idea boards, shooting schedules and continued edit follow ups are just a few of the reasons we keep coming back.
From stills to short length films; promotional to instructive content, from start to finish Ben's talent and tactful nature has helped us produce the high caliber content we demand for our customers."

DESTINATION FILM AND PHOTOGRAPHY
Effective content doesn’t just attract attention; it drives action. High-quality videos highlight the sights, sounds, and experiences that make your destination special, leading to higher conversion rates through clear, compelling calls to action.
"Ben's creative approach and ability to understand our needs have resulted in content that truly captures the essence of our business. We use the content primarily for ads, social media, and our website, and we have experienced a significant increase in followers and reach on social media, as well as a substantial increase in traffic to our website."

EVENT FILM AND PHOTOGRAPHY
Enhance your event's reach and impact by showcasing key moments, highlights, and attendee experiences with lightning fast turnaround. This not only extends event visibility beyond the immediate audience but also creates compelling content for marketing, post-event engagement, and future promotions.
"Working with Pilchard Productions has always been a pleasure. Ben is quick to get up to speed with any briefs and delivers excellent results in a very timely fashion. Although many of the projects have focused on world class professional wakeboarding events, Ben has also excellently captured and edited both consumer and business focussed corporate videos to promote the business-as-usual activities of the water sports facilities we have worked with."

YETI SNOWMX
Fresh from a re-acquisition by the brand's original owners, YETI SnowMX needed fresh content to invigorate the brand and promote new product offerings for the 2025 annual pre-sale on a looming deadline and tight shooting schedule - we delivered on-brand content that showcased the product at it's very best on a tight timeframe and continue to work together on promotional and technical content.

For 6 years Lake OPS Consulting headed up the management of London, UK-based waterpark and resort Liquid Leisure, it's signature professional wakeboard contest Plastic Playground, and in 2022 and 2023, the WWA Wakepark World Championships.
We worked together to provide event coverage including live steams and next day video turnaround, create ad campaigns and content that captured the publics attention and maximized bookings, including a viral ad campaign that brought in over 2 million views and record attendance on a single ad spend.
SHIRES - A BRITISH BICYCLE FILM

"Ben is a perfectionist and never did we have to worry about the quality of his photos or video as they were always beautifully captured and edited, and of an extremely high quality. He takes great pride in his work and has a very creative eye and focus on detail"
