About Indigo Productions

Indigo Productions is an independent British video production and multimedia agency based in Ashford, Kent, with client representation in London. Established in late 2014, the studio creates films, animation, photography and audio content for businesses, public bodies and charities. Its positioning, “Film for Business,” centres on cinematic corporate storytelling and content built around a clear communications purpose.

The agency provides an integrated production service from creative strategy and concept development through scripting, storyboarding, location management and filming to editing and final delivery. Its post-production capabilities include visual effects, colour grading, sound design and motion graphics. Commercial photography encompasses workplace imagery, brand lifestyle photography, architecture and corporate portraits, while its audio work includes branded and recruitment podcasts.

Content across formats

Projects range from brand films and recruitment campaigns to documentary case studies, public information films and animated explainers. The studio also produces platform-specific social content, including vertical video, short-form edits and campaign cutdowns. Its animation work includes 2D explainers, title design, animated infographics and moving brand assets. These capabilities allow a production to deliver a central film alongside supporting photography and assets for different channels.

Its portfolio spans travel and hospitality, energy, professional services, local government, healthcare, consumer brands and the charity sector. Work for Virgin Atlantic combines recruitment films with commercial photography, while Octopus Energy projects include employer branding, festival coverage and a recruitment podcast. Tourism work for Visit Kent brings together a cinematic campaign film, social edits and promotional photography.

Other projects demonstrate the breadth of its communications work: multilingual health explainers for Contact, educational films and animation for Defra and The Tree Council, public information for Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council, and illustrated mixed-media animation for Emerald Thinking. The studio also produces documentary and lifestyle content for Saga and the Historic Houses Association.

Originally operating from Maidstone, Indigo Productions moved its principal production facilities to Ashford in early 2020. It continues to combine production and post-production capabilities with ongoing client relationships and multi-format campaign work.

More about Indigo Productions

Leadership and operating model

  • Co-founders Lee Hollands and Paul Dodd serve as Client Lead and Technical Lead respectively. Both are company directors; Dodd also serves as company secretary.
  • The company describes a boutique core team that scales with specialist crews for larger and multi-location shoots. Its production approach includes transparent day-rate budgeting and agile schedules for multi-platform delivery.

Long-term collaboration

The report describes a decade-long production partnership with Hilton encompassing more than 50 brand and corporate films, including sustainability films and event features.

Campaign recognition

The Virgin Atlantic recruitment campaign is reported as a winner of Best Employer Brand and Best Candidate Experience at the Recruiter Awards 2023. These honours concern the campaign rather than a separately established studio award.

Business development

In September 2025, Indigo Productions was selected for Stage 2 of the Create South East growth cohort, a programme supported by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, to develop its creative intellectual property and production capacity.
