How we vet every listicle
Every agency featured on Web Tonic passes our 84-point editorial review before a single listicle goes live. This is how we vet each pick:
Verified client outcomes: We require real case studies with measurable KPIs — revenue, ROAS, CPA, retention — tied to the exact category being ranked. No cherry-picked wins, no unverifiable numbers.
Independent reputation: We cross-check Clutch, Google, G2, and Trustpilot ratings, and screen for review-bombing or suspicious patterns. Only operators with a consistent, verifiable track record make the cut.
Beyond that, every listing goes through a quarterly re-audit. We check 84 criteria across 6 pillars to make sure it still holds up — here are some of the checks we run:
A video production agency plans, films and edits video for businesses: brand films, adverts, corporate and training videos, event coverage and social clips, taking a project from script and storyboard through the shoot to the final edit.
We kept only firms whose own site sells video production, then checked each address, client claim and price by hand. All twelve work from Leicester, and ten sit in the Cultural Quarter around the LCB Depot, Phoenix Square and Rutland Street. Nine name a verified client, and none publishes a price.
What does a video production agency in Leicester actually do?
It writes the script, plans the shoot, films with its own crew, then edits, grades and delivers versions for every channel. Twelve external Leicester companies cleared our checks; all work from the city, nine name a client we verified and none publishes a price.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I choose between these Leicester video production agencies?
Ask each Leicester company for two or three recent films made for a client in a sector close to yours, plus the brief behind one of them and how the video was used afterwards. Check who writes, who directs and who edits, and whether that crew is in-house or freelance. 360red and Orange Fox Studios lean on animation, Crosscut Media on live streaming and public sector work, Rendah Films on documentary-style brand films, and Chrome Video on product brands and trade businesses, while Arch Creative films inside wider design work.
How much does a Leicester video production agency cost?
None of the twelve external Leicester companies publishes a price on its own site, so every entry on this page is quote-based. Expect a quote set by shoot days, crew size, locations, animation or motion graphics, the number of edits and cut-downs, and music licensing. Ask what is included in the price, how many rounds of changes you get, and who owns the raw footage before you sign.
What is the difference between a video production company and a creative agency?
A video production company plans, films and edits the video itself. A creative or brand agency may add film to identity and campaign work, and a marketing agency adds video to ads, social and web. On this page Arch Creative is a design studio with its own video team, while the other eleven sell video production as their main service. Ask every proposal to say whether it covers the shoot only or the distribution too.
How long does a video production project take?
A simple interview or testimonial video can move from brief to final edit in two to four weeks. A brand film with scripting, casting, several locations and animation usually takes six to ten weeks. A Leicester retailer filming product clips in a studio day will finish sooner than a charity documentary shot over several weeks. Agree the delivery dates, formats and aspect ratios for every channel before the first shoot day.
Should I hire a Leicester agency or one based elsewhere?
Leicester supplies this whole list. Orange Reel, MGL Media, Another World Media and Incite Video are all at the LCB Depot, 2020 Media, Rendah Films, Orange Fox Studios and ImageNova are at Phoenix Square, and 360red and Arch Creative are on Rutland Street. Crosscut Media is on Princess Road West and Chrome Video on the Faircharm Industrial Estate. Crosscut and 2020 Media also list London addresses.
Choosing a Video Production Agency in Leicester
All twelve external companies work from Leicester, most of them within a few streets of each other, so location barely separates this shortlist. What separates them is the kind of film each one makes best.
Nine name a client we could verify, and none publishes a price. Ask each company to walk you through a film it made and what it achieved. A finished film tells you more than a showreel.
Ownership of the footage comes first. Your business should own the final edits, and agree in writing who keeps the raw footage, project files and music licences. Ask for the approval process, turnaround times and revision rounds in writing too.
Finally, meet the director and editor who will work on your project, not only the person who pitches. If you want the shoot, the creative testing and the growth targets answerable to one team, read our latest analysis.
