About Us

We are a full-service video production agency with studios in York and North Tyneside, UK.

Specialising in producing high-quality, high-impact content for the corporate and commercial markets worldwide, we collaborate with brands, agencies, and creatives of all sizes.

Founded in York in 2016 as a small-scale video production company primarily serving local SMEs, we have grown into a multi-faceted video and production agency, working with clients across the globe.

Our projects have taken us around the world- from Barbados to Hyderabad, Sydney to Rome – allowing us to collaborate with clients and artists across several continents.

In 2023, we expanded significantly, growing our team from three to nine, establishing our Newcastle studio, expanding and refurbishing our York studio, and substantially increasing our client base.

Our brand ethos

It’s all in the name

Ether; Ether is space, stillness, that which contains and holds. Ether is the element that connects us to spirit, intuition, other realms, and planes.

Ether represents our creative ethos. It embodies space and stillness, the elements that connect us to spirit, intuition, and new realms. At Ether/Awe, this means crafting stories that harmonise our clients’ values with their audience’s needs and desires. We strive to create immersive, unique, and bespoke content, transforming our imaginations and visual palettes into engaging visual pieces.

Awe; an emotion variously combining dread, veneration, and wonder that is inspired by authority or by the sacred or sublime.

Awe represents impact. A great story well told evokes emotions from its consumer; be that sadness, joy, dread, anger, or laughter. This is at the heart of impactful content – great content should deeply affect its audience on an emotional level. The best brands know this and that is why emotion sits at the heart of their content marketing strategies.
