From humble beginnings and one trendy grandad (yes, there is a real life trendy grandad) best friends and co-founders, directors Stokely and Adam set off with a vision and purpose to help brands make noise on social media and Youtube.
Before we started our video agency, we were Youtube enthusiasts, filmmakers and directors of viral videos and lived and breathe the Youtube platform algorithms. So we decided to build our entire business model around helping brands grow on Youtube with specialist Youtube video production services, Youtube video editing, Youtube strategy & distribution.
It doesn't matter what industry you're in, if you're on Youtube or want to build a Youtube channel, we're the team for you.
Here’s how we make it happen - quickly, collaboratively, and with zero fluff.
We audit your brand and competitors, then craft a video content plan with hooks, formats, and messaging tailored to your goals.
We generate concepts, write short-form scripts, and storyboard if needed - always designed for platform and performance.
Our in-house production team shoots, directs, and captures everything we need - whether on location, in studio, or remotely.
We edit with retention in mind, add captions, graphics, sound design, and optimise versions for each social platform.
We deliver final assets in all aspect ratios and formats, and can even help you test, tweak, and scale winning creatives.
The difference between a social media video production company and a traditional video production company comes down to one thing: purpose. Traditional teams focus on polished, long-form content like TV ads or corporate films. A social media video production company, like Trendy Grandad, is built around performance - we obsess over analytics, emerging trends, and content formats that drive engagement.
We use creator-led scripts, agile camera work, mobile-first lighting setups, and platform-specific sound design to produce short-form content optimised for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Our team understands how to build viral campaigns, collaborate with influencers, and execute smart distribution strategies. We don’t just care if it looks good - we care if it performs. And that means tracking analytics, adapting to trends, and making sure your marketing and branding cut through the noise, fast.
We’re not just a social media video production company. We offer a full suite of complementary services, acting as your extended expert team in the social-first space — helping your brand thrive across every platform.
Whether you need one killer campaign or ongoing content support, Trendy Grandad is built to deliver.
If your goal is to grow reach, boost engagement, and stay ahead of social trends, here are six reasons you need a specialist social media video production company:
Going viral isn't luck - it's a social media strategy. Let us help you master the content game.

Video can cost £500, it can cost £50,000. We are very transparent when it comes to cost & why this question is so difficult to answer is because there are so many factors to video and film production. The reality is, if you're looking to grow on Youtube, the average cost would be anywhere between £5,000 to £20,000 a month and this would need to be invested for a couple of years.If you're a premium brand, you will want a good looking set, high quality talent, vibey footage and a high quality production - this won't be a small amount of money. Our best advice is to find as many references as you can to put in your brief so the production company you choose has an idea of your expectations. Secondly, if you have a budget, share this with us, as it helps us in the ideation stage come up with an idea that fits in with your costs.
