Tell Us About Changemaker Studios

 

Changemaker Studios are an award winning video production and strategy studio partnering with industry leaders, social impact organisations and brands accelerating change. We create compelling films, from brand campaigns to documentaries and social content – translating complex ideas into emotionally clear, strategically driven stories. Our work moves beyond awareness, supporting change-focused projects that deliver tangible, real-world outcomes.

 

What Gap Has Changemaker Studios Filled In the Market?

 

The market is saturated with content that looks good but lacks consequence. Changemaker Studios fill the gap between cinematic storytelling and strategic impact. We create films that are emotionally resonant, grounded in lived reality and designed to support outcomes such as policy influence, funding, partnerships, and long-term positive change.

 

 

How Has Changemaker Studios Evolved Or Scaled Throughout 2025, and What Milestones Stand Out From This Year?

 

In 2025, Changemaker Studios partnered with Project Nemo, a flagship initiative addressing disability inclusion within the fintech sector. The initiative was supported by major UK financial institutions including Nationwide and HSBCanddeveloped in collaboration with leading charities such as RNID and RNIB.

Through a multi-film campaign, our work contributed to industry-level shifts in how fintech and banking organisations approach accessibility, inclusive design, user experience and internal policy. The campaign won Gold for Digital Impact in the CSR category and ourclient went on to receive the Money 2020 Diamond Award for accessibility and impact.

Alongside this, we scaled from one-off commissions into long-term strategic partnerships, delivering multi-film campaigns and becoming a trusted creative partner for organisations driving meaningful change.

The studio’s work is grounded in the founder’s lived experience of disability, ensuring storytelling is led with real-world understanding – not assumptions.

 

What Are Your Strategic Priorities for 2026, and How Do You Plan To Build On Your Current Momentum?

 

In 2026, our focus is depth over volume – building long-term, retained partnerships while expanding IP-led campaigns with global reach. We are positioning Changemaker Studios as the UK’s leading production studio for social impact and brands accelerating change in their own industries.

Alongside this, we are strengthening distribution strategy so our work reaches policy-makers, funders, and industry leaders globally. We’re also launching an education platform designed to open up creative career pathways for the next generation of young creatives, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds.

 

What Can We Look Forward To Seeing from Your Company In 2026?

 

In 2026, Changemaker Studios will deliver larger-scale, cross-sector campaigns, original storytelling initiatives and films that help shape industry standards. Expect work that moves beyond awareness into long-term cultural impact.
