Authentic video for

ambitious brands.

Let's make one

We’re High Tide, a video agency operating out of Edinburgh, Scotland.

Since 2017 our mission has been simple: give our clients a voice that’s true to them.

Our distinct documentary style approach to video content puts the authentic and human at the forefront of our clients stories.

WHAT WE DO:

Like every story, it starts at the beginning.

Creative Strategy: We know it can be scary out there. That’s why we work with our clients to develop a creative strategy for your video content. Through discovery sessions, we create ‘video blueprints’ - a guide that outlines effective video concepts, relevant tone and visual styles, alongside the practical considerations when commissioning content. Read more about our creative strategy process here.

Production: Whether we are creating content from a client’s creative video strategy or solely as a production partner, our documentary-style approach captures people authentically. By sharing genuine experiences of your brand’s mission and values, you build trust and drive meaningful action.

Flexible Partnerships: We work with other agencies, production companies and in-house teams who need flexible support at different stages of production. From project management and production to camera operation and editing, think of us as an extension of your team, stepping in where you need us most.

content

we love to make:

branded micro-documentaries / case-studies / customer testimonials / event content / educational / commercial advertising

WHO we’re FOR:

Our collaborative process works best with people who care deeply about their brand's story and want it to feel genuine. We're small enough to be flexible and experienced enough to handle everything from business case studies to full commercial campaigns.

Our unscripted documentary style works for brands who want to stand out by being themselves and connect more meaningfully with their audience. We believe this approach has a place in almost any sector or industry as every brand has a story to tell. What makes the difference is how it's told.

Where we’ve worked the most:

MedTech & FinTech - Third Sector - Sport - Food & Drink - Leisure & Lifestyle - Education
