About Brickwall
Brickwall is an independent London-based creative agency and film and animation production studio. Founded in 2005, it creates purpose-led campaigns and educational content for organisations working across public health, education, environmental sustainability and social causes. Its work combines live-action storytelling, animation and creative strategy to explain complex subjects and engage audiences.
The agency works as a commercial creative and production partner for government bodies, charities, academic institutions, utilities and other organisations. Its capabilities span concept development, audience insight, scripting, creative direction, live-action production and post-production, alongside 2D and 3D character animation, motion graphics and interactive educational content.
Storytelling for complex subjects
Brickwall's projects address topics including digital media literacy, sexual consent, refugee integration, health-data privacy and renewable energy transmission. Its output ranges from documentary-style films and case studies to animated explainers, campaign films and interactive drama. These formats support work intended to educate audiences, explain evidence and encourage informed decisions.
For BBC Bitesize, Solve the Story uses interactive drama to help secondary students identify online bias and deepfakes. Data Saves Lives, produced for Understanding Patient Data, explains safe health-data sharing through video and interactive content. The studio has also produced the Behind The Grid documentary series for National Grid and the Let Refugees Learn advocacy film for Refugee Action.
Its animation portfolio includes Three Sisters of Plynlimon, a tourism campaign drawing on Welsh mythology, and educational fossil animations for Natural England and Charnwood Forest Geopark. Other work includes public-health films for Public Health England and a smoking-cessation documentary project for Cancer Research UK and UCL. Across these commissions, Brickwall brings together film, design and animation to make technical, sensitive or unfamiliar material accessible to its intended audience.
