S&W Business Awards Video in Manchester
Our S&W Business Awards video campaign in Manchester captured real conversations with business leaders in a social-first format. The content supported post-event marketing across LinkedIn, web, and social channels. As a result, the campaign delivered a set of short, punchy assets that were easy to publish and easy to share. We designed the S&W awards video series to feel authentic, polished, and built for performance.
S&W awards video concept: taxi interviews
The concept used four custom S&W-branded taxis that collected selected guests during the day before the evening awards. Inside each taxi, the hosts interviewed guests about their businesses, their growth plans, and the challenges they’re working through. Because the interviews happened in motion, the content felt more natural than a static sit-down. At the same time, the Manchester setting gave the Manchester awards video a strong local identity.
Manchester awards video production setup
To keep quality consistent, we crewed each taxi with one camera operator and one sound recordist. That way, every interview had clean audio and dependable coverage. We also filmed multiple takes while driving across Manchester, so we could capture the strongest answers without rushing the guests. Earlier in the day, we shot Manchester B-roll, including landmarks, street scenes, and atmosphere shots. In turn, those cutaways helped the S&W Business Awards video feel bigger and more dynamic.
Kit and format for LinkedIn event video
For the primary camera, we used the Sony FX3 with a Sony 24–70mm f/2.8 GM II, which stayed sharp and stable in tight spaces. Alongside that, we ran a GoPro HERO13 as a wide safety shot in 5K. Everything was captured in 4K DCI, which means we could crop, reframe, and create clean cutdowns for LinkedIn and social. Importantly, the format kept the edit flexible across different aspect ratios and placements.
Crew and event photography
We supplied a Director of Photography for the lead taxi unit to maintain a consistent look. In addition, we provided event photography for guest arrivals and key moments. As well as supporting PR, those stills helped extend the S&W awards video rollout across social and internal comms.
