Crawford & Beattie

We make brands look unreal.

“They turned up, got on with it, and the content just started appearing. Our enquiries have never been busier.”“First month in, we'd had more engagement than the previous year put together.”“I stopped worrying about social media the day we started working together.”

01Who we are

We're Crawford & Beattie.

A strategic creative and content agency based in Staffordshire, working with brands across the UK. Social media content is what we do: film, photography and posts made to a standard most businesses have never had access to. Around that sit three supporting services that turn the attention into customers.

A small, founder-led team. Every frame graded, every word of audio cleaned, every piece checked before it leaves. Whatever you sell, it gets the same care.

02Why it matters

Everyone has a phone. Not everyone stands out.

Phones are brilliant, and a business posting phone content is already ahead of most. But when a customer compares you with two competitors and all three feeds look the same, nothing sets you apart.

The quality of your content tells people the quality of your work before you've said a word. People buy on trust, and quality builds it.

03What we do

Our niche is quality.

Most agencies pick an industry and repeat the same work for everyone in it. We pick a standard, and we do two things for every brand we work with.

01

We take it off your hands

You're busy running the business. We run the content, start to finish.

10The founder

Hi, I'm Callum.

As you can probably tell from the photo, I'm not the oldest chap in the world. I'm 21, and I founded Crawford & Beattie in November 2025, six days after my 21st birthday, although I've been doing media and marketing work for as long as I can remember.

So you might be thinking: why would I trust a business run by a 21 year old? I completely understand. I had the exact same conversation with my first ever client when I started. Since that conversation, we've worked together every single day.

That's my answer. Don't judge me on my age. Judge me on Crawford & Beattie's work, and on the people who keep choosing to do it with us.

12Questions

Questions we get asked.

If yours isn't here, ask on the call.

Do I need to be there when you film?

No. Send us the job sheet and we'll go out, film and edit without taking up your day. If you want to be involved, we'll plan the shoot with you. Both work.

Will you contact my customers for testimonials?

Yes, with your permission. You tell us which customers are happy to be asked, we arrange the visit and handle the filming.

How long until content goes live?

We start filming a month before anything is posted, so there's always content in the bank. Most clients see their first posts go out four to six weeks after our first meeting.

What if I don't like something?

Nothing goes out without your sign-off. Tell us what to change and we change it. The first month is built for exactly that kind of tuning.

Can I keep posting my own phone content too?

Absolutely. Plenty of clients do. Our content raises the standard of the feed, and your own posts keep it personal.

What does it cost?

We work on monthly retainers, sized to how much content you need and which platforms it goes on. The best next step is a thirty-minute call so we can give you a straight number.

Which platforms do you cover?

Instagram and Facebook are the core for most clients, with TikTok, LinkedIn and YouTube added when they make sense. We also run Meta ads and the automation that follows up on leads.

Where are you based, and how far do you travel?

We're based in Staffordshire and work across the UK. Most of our clients are in the Midlands and North West, with some in London.

Let's talk

Let's make yours look unreal.

Thirty minutes on where your content is holding your brand back and what it would take to fix it.
