Video that gets attention
Made to expand reach, lift engagement and tell a story a still image cannot. Tap any one to watch it full size with sound.
What video does best
Every major platform pushes video harder than any other format, which makes reaching new people far easier.
It puts you in front of new people
The platforms actively push video out beyond your own followers, into feeds belonging to people who have never heard of you. That makes it the quickest way to widen your audience rather than just serve the one you have.
It goes almost everywhere you post
Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Bluesky and Threads all take short-form video. Of the channels we support, Google Business Profiles is the only one that does not. One edit, published to every platform and channel on your plan.
It gets far more across
A short video can show a process, a place, a product and a person in the time it takes to read a headline. It is simply a bigger container for your message, which is why it works so well for anything that needs demonstrating.
People decide before they read
Movement, a voice and a face do their work in seconds. Somebody scrolling forms a view of your business long before they get as far as reading anything about it, and video is what shapes that view.
Four ways we make your videos
Send us footage to use, or leave it with us entirely and we will create your videos from scratch.
Footage you send us
The one we push hardest, because authentic footage performs better. You talking to camera, your products, your premises, behind the scenes. Clips off a phone are fine.
Video you already have
Long-form videos, webinars, podcast recordings, existing social video. We find the moments worth pulling out and cut them down into something people will actually watch.
Premium stock footage
No footage of your own? We have a vast library of premium clips, all licensed for commercial use, chosen to fit your brand rather than dropped in at random.
Text and graphics led
Tips, myth-busters, offers, before and afters. Motion graphics and on-screen text carry the message. Nothing filmed, nobody on camera.
Not sure which suits you? Tell us on the onboarding form and we will suggest a mix, and you can change it whenever you like. If you are happy for us to, we can also use AI where it genuinely lifts the result. We will only ever do that with your say-so.
What's included?
The same everything in every plan. The only difference is how many videos you get.
- 4, 8 or 12 finished videos a month
- 9:16 vertical, HD, typically 15 to 60 seconds
- Subtitles added, so they work on mute
- Music licensed for commercial use
- Styled to match your brand
- Two rounds of revisions on every video
- Every video is yours, to use anywhere, for good
The video formats we make most
Tell us which of these fit your business and we will build the mix around them.
Talking to camera
You, or someone from your team, answering the question customers always ask. The fastest way to build trust with a stranger.
Tips and listicles
Three things to check before you book. Five mistakes people make. Easy to watch, easy to save, easy to share.
Behind the scenes
Your workshop, your kitchen, your team setting up. People are far more interested in how the work gets done than most businesses expect.
Product or service demo
Show the thing working. The most direct route there is from somebody watching to somebody inquiring.
Before and after
Renovations, treatments, transformations, restorations. If your work changes how something looks, this format sells it better than any photo.
Podcast and long-form clips
You have already done the hard part. We find the moments worth sharing and cut them into something scroll-stopping.
How every video gets made
Same process every batch, and nothing ever waits on you.
Hi, your next batch of short-form videos has been created and scheduled to your channel.
If you are happy with them, you do not need to do anything.
If you would like any changes, just let us know through your client portal and we will sort it.
With most agencies, every video needs approving before it can go out. That is just another job on your list. With us, if you are happy, there is nothing to do.
Trusted by start-ups and national chains
Village Gym, a well-known UK national chain of 35 health and wellness clubs, trust Step Social with their short-form video content.
Village Health & Wellness Clubs had a library of footage from their sites and nobody with the time to do anything with it. We turned it into vertical video, written in their tone and ready for their team to schedule, on exactly the service described on this page.
The videos are brilliant! Thanks so much, loving your work!Sian Parker, Village Health & WellnessRead the full case study
Short-form video pricing
One flat monthly fee. No contract, no setup charge, cancel whenever you like.
Paying six months up front? You pay for five and get the sixth free, on your plan and on any add-ons taken at the same time. See six-month pricing
Add matching video thumbnails from $19 a month
Custom thumbnails for your videos, in your branding, matched to the number of videos on your plan. Six-month billing gets a free month on these too.
Our 14-day money-back guarantee covers the organic posting plans. Add-ons, including short-form video, are not included.
Video opens the door. Posts keep it open
Short-form video works on its own.
But it works harder alongside static posts.
Video is what puts you in front of people who have never heard of you. Static posts are what convince them you are a real business when they land on your profile and start scrolling back. An account with four brilliant videos and nothing else looks abandoned. An account posting consistently, with video on top, looks like a company worth calling.
Most clients run short-form video as an add-on to a Basic, Pro or Premium plan, which keeps everything on one invoice and one content creator who knows the brand.

Short-form video questions
Everything people ask before they start.
No. We encourage it, because footage from your own business genuinely performs better than stock, and clips off your phone are perfectly good enough. But if you would rather not, we will build your videos from our royalty-free stock library, motion graphics and on-screen text instead.
Not at all. Plenty of our video clients never appear in a single frame. If you are happy on camera we will build content around that, and if you are not we use product shots, screen recordings, stock footage, graphics and text-led formats instead.
Yes, and it is one of the best-value things you can do with content you already own. Send us the recordings, we will find the moments worth pulling out, then cut, subtitle and brand them ready to publish.
We produce 9:16 vertical video as standard. That works on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Bluesky and Threads. Of the channels we support, Google Business Profiles is the only one that does not take short-form video. The same edit publishes to every channel on your plan.
Typically 15 to 60 seconds. That range keeps them right for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, and forces a clear, punchy message rather than a rambling one. Where a subject genuinely needs longer, we will go longer.
Yes, on every video. Most people scroll with the sound off, so subtitles are not an optional extra. They are added to every video, styled to your brand, and checked by an editor before delivery.
If you want us to, yes. One social channel is included and extra channels are $10 a month each. If you would rather publish them yourself, we set up a Google Drive folder and upload every batch there for you to download and use however you like.
Within five business days of completing your onboarding form. After that a new batch arrives every two weeks and we message you each time one is ready.
Yes. We let you know as soon as a batch is ready so you can look through it, and you get up to two rounds of revisions per video within the original brief. If you are happy, you do not need to do anything at all, because nothing waits on your approval.
Yes. We use your logo, colors, fonts and any brand guidelines you share, so the videos look like they came from you rather than from an agency. If you have no formal guidelines we will build a simple, recognizable style with you.
Completely. Every video is made for your business and owned outright by you. Use it on your website, in email campaigns, at an exhibition, for as long as you like. Nothing expires and there is no license to renew.
Yes. All music, stock footage and other assets we use are licensed for commercial use, so your videos are safe to run across your social channels.
No, short-form video works perfectly well on its own. Most clients do run it alongside a posting plan though, because video brings new people to your profile and regular posts are what convince them you are worth following once they get there.
No long-term contract. It is a monthly subscription and you can upgrade, downgrade or cancel at any time, giving 14 days notice before your renewal date in line with our Terms of Service. There is also a six-month option where you pay for five months and get the sixth free.
No. Our 14-day money-back guarantee covers the organic posting plans only. Add-ons, including short-form video, are not included. What keeps it low risk is that there is no contract, no setup fee, and you can cancel whenever you like.
Move up a plan, or ask us for extra videos for that month. Message us through your client portal and we will sort it. You can move back down again afterwards.
No. We never ask for your social media logins. Your content is published through a content scheduler, and we send you your own logins for it so you can see everything that is queued whenever you want to.
We use AI to speed up our workflow, and we can use it within the content itself where it will genuinely produce a better result for your brand, product background work being a good example. Most of the videos we make do not use it at all. Everything is overseen by your dedicated content creator, produced with professional editing software and checked by an editor before it reaches you. You always have the final say: tell us how you want AI used, or not used, on your account, and you can change that at any time.
