At the core of our work lies the ability to distill complexity into captivating visual narratives that resonate deeply with audiences and deliver exceptional results.

Our work
Why us?
Cost-effective without compromising on quality
As a small boutique studio, we keep our overhead low, allowing more of your budget to go directly into production. This enables us to create high-quality videos at a fraction of the usual cost, without compromising on excellence. We take a personal approach, meticulously focusing on every detail to ensure your vision is realized with precision and care.
We consistently get results
Encountering a production team with three BAFTA wins and a myriad of other accolades is rare. Saving a company from failure, crafting an advertisement that catapults a product to the top of the market, or creating the most successful ad on Google isn't within everyone's reach. Yet, fueled by our expertise, passion for video, and dedication to our craft, we continually push the limits of what's possible.
We’re reliable & trusted, with a 5-star rating
We are trusted by brands around the world. With a 5-star rating on Google and a stream of glowing feedback from our clients, we consistently exceed expectations. Explore our testimonials to discover the wonderful things our clients have to say about us.
Social & Environmental Impact
Contributing to social and environmental initiatives is important to us. We plant a tree for every day we work, offer discounts to charities and struggling companies, and ensure that our work is inclusive - embracing individuals from diverse backgrounds and faiths. We also foster a culture rooted in respect, understanding, and kindness.
Ready? Let’s work on your next video. Our team will be happy to help bring your ideas to life.
What our clients say about us
AWESOME, AMAZING, WATCH THIS - Rolf Wiberg and Allie Crawford started filming a documentary about our work before our June trip to Roots Red Sea. They then came with us to Roots. Two great people and so professional. The one minute video below is for British Forces TV who are making an advert for us. The Deptherapy Board are stunned by the quality of Rolf and Allie’s work. Amazing work, amazing quality.
RICHARD CULLEN, DEPTHERAPY
Kymera Media delivered three animations and three cutdowns which were perfect and did exactly what we wanted them to do. She really listens to the brief and takes time to make sure the delivered assets need minimal, if any tweaks and she manages our expectations perfectly on delivery timescales, often coming in ahead of the timeline. When we decided to commission another series there was no hesitation to go back to Allie. We feel as if she has become part of our team and we are honoured to have her working with us and very proud of the work she has done for us.
James Emson FNAVA MNAEA, Clive Emson Auctioneers
Thank you Allie for the amazing video you have made for us and our new business. We cannot wait to get it out there in support of our revised website and look forward to the positive comments and enquiries that it will generate. We have no hesitation in recommending Kymera Media and the wonderfully talented Allie Crawford. Her concept for our company was clear and innovative from the very start and we greatly appreciated her ability to cut through to the core of ZigZag Tours and find a theme that we loved. She has bent over backwards to accommodate our numerous suggestions and changes and has done so with the utmost dedication and professionalism.

Our Social and Environmental Commitment
Our founders have dedicated countless hours to freediving and underwater filming, enduring challenging and sometimes harrowing conditions. They’ve experienced a boat dumping sewage on them, dived amidst a sea of plastic, and been underwater during illegal dynamite fishing explosions. They’ve witnessed turtles injured by speedboats, the destruction of coral reefs, and countless sharks with fishing hooks embedded in their mouths. The impact of human activity on our oceans is profoundly devastating. As passionate advocates for ocean conservation, we are committed to protecting coral reefs by partnering with One Tree Planted. For every day we work, a mangrove tree will be planted - helping to restore and preserve our vital marine ecosystems.
Making a social impact is important to us, which is why we offer discounts to charities and struggling businesses - helping them thrive through impactful and affordable storytelling.
