We make websites and content that help people choose you.
Burningred is a Cardiff-based studio building websites, video and content for organisations who need to explain complex stuff simply - and look credible doing it.
If it doesn’t help your audience understand you faster, trust you sooner or take the next step - we don’t make it.
Based in Cardiff. Working across the UK.
What we do
Websites
Strategy-led sites that are clear, fast and built to convert.
Video + photography
Case studies, testimonials, explainers, social edits - planned properly, filmed efficiently, edited for real use.
Whether you’ve got a plan or you’re starting from scratch, we’ll help you pick the right thing to do next - and ship it.
Content + digital
Messaging, copy, campaign creative and practical digital support that keeps things moving.
How we work
We empower
We help brands embrace video and digital, creating dynamic content and web experiences that engages your team, moves audiences and drives results that matter to you.
We’re curious
We want the gold - we keep digging until we find those special somethings that set you apart. It’s not just ‘another video’.
We supersize
Content and design has evolved - we often shoot multiple pieces in one session, maximising you and your team’s time and the potential outputs
We nurture
We take people who are not used to the video or the digital making process and turn them into confident brand ambassadors on camera and proud of their digital presence.
We’re agile
Our flexible services scale to meet the needs of any project size, ensuring optimal results.
We take care of business
We’re not here to point and shoot without a target. We plan, produce and promote digital that aligns with your goals… leaving you to do what you need to do. If we don’t think it will work, we’ll propose solutions that do.
We ❤️ audiences
Different channels demand different approaches, but it’s all about your audience(s). We craft your content with a specific multi-placement, multi-channel approach.
Our journey
We’ve been doing this a long time. The work has changed. The principle hasn’t:
Make it clear. Make it useful. Make it easy to act on.
Over the years we’ve worked with organisations including Sky, BBC, DWP, Welsh Government, Cardiff University, Bath University, Cardiff Council and more.
Branding without the theatre
Brand isn’t a new logo and a big speech.
It’s what people understand about you in 10 seconds - and what they tell someone else afterwards.
So we focus on:
the story you need to tell
the proof you can show
the website and content that makes it land
