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.

Our main service

Social media content

Film, photography and posts, shot and finished by us, running every week.

Weatherwise

Full social media creation and management. Millions of views a month across Instagram and Facebook, with work won organically from every platform.

Supporting

Meta ads

Campaigns built around enquiries, bookings and sales.

UK Garden Buildings

Meta ads and the creative that goes in them, shot by us and running alongside the social media.

Supporting

Automation

Systems that follow up, qualify and book, so no lead goes cold.

W2 Construction

A landing page with lead qualification built in, feeding a custom CRM that follows up automatically.

Supporting

Strategy

A plan, a monthly review and one person who knows your brand.

Every client

A monthly sit-down: what worked, what didn't, the numbers, and the plan for the month ahead.

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.

02

We take it to a new level

Content that makes you look like the best in your field.

The shot from that same set

Same shoot. Same day. The setup, and the result.

04How it works

We don't sit outside your business. We join it.

Most agencies send a template. We turn up, learn how you want to look, and make content that looks like yours, done properly.

Where every partnership starts

First, we find out how you want to come across.

Before anything is filmed, we sit down and get to know the business: what you sell, who buys it, and how you want people to feel when they see you. Try it. Pick a few words and see where we'd start.

How do you want to come across? Pick up to three

    Every brand gets its own mix. This is where the conversation starts.

    Happy to be on camera? Great. Prefer we film your team and your work instead? That's also fine.

    05Production

    You run the business. We'll make it look incredible.

    We own every piece of kit it takes and know exactly how to use it.

    Film

    Video that makes your business look like the best in its field.

    Photography

    Images that do your work justice.

    Sound

    Every word crisp and clear.

    Colour

    A rich, consistent finish on every screen.

    “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.”

    06What we do

    Content, ads and follow up. One team.

    The content is the start. We also put it in front of the right people and make sure no enquiry it earns goes cold.

    07The work

    Brands that look the part.

    A handful of the partners we work with, and what the work did for their business.

    Automotive retail

    Lookers BMW

    Showroom and launch-night photography for Lookers BMW in Stoke, including the arrival of the new iX3. Shot dark and cinematic, the way the cars deserve to be seen.

    A premium marque, photographed to its own standard.

    Prestige cars

    Clubsport Prestige

    Stock photography for a prestige and performance car dealer. Every car taken out and shot on location rather than on a forecourt, so the listing feels as special as the car.

    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.

    “We took a chance on a brand new agency. Best decision we made that year.”

      13Questions

      Questions we get asked.

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

      Are you a social media agency or a video company?

      Both, and that is the point. We are a social media marketing agency that produces its own content. Social media management, film and photography, Meta ads and lead generation automation, all from one team on one retainer, for brands across the UK from our base in Staffordshire.

      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.

      Before you book

      Is this for you?

      A good fit

      • Your work is already good. It just does not look it online yet.
      • You want content going out every week, handled by one team on a monthly retainer.
      • You would rather hand it over than manage freelancers and chase edits.
      • You see content as something that brings in customers, not a box to tick.

      Probably not

      • You are looking for the cheapest option. We will not be it.
      • You want to go viral next week. We build brands month by month.
      • You cannot give it a few months. Content compounds, and one month proves very little.
