Clearhead is an ambitious multi-award-winning video production agency, which next year celebrates its 15th year. We were born out of the belief that brands deserved more. More attention, more creativity, more quality, more value for their money. Our mission, to be the nation's most successful, creative and loved provider of digital content. So we wanted to create an agency that could offer great content for great people from great people.

Based in the heart of Bedfordshire, our Luton-based studio is a 2,500 sq ft, open plan creative oasis located on the second floor of a fully refurbished Hat Factory. Hat House is part of the Hat District's cultural community of bars, live music, venues and events at the neighbouring Hat Factory Arts Centre.

Our Clearhead team is an in-house, multicultural, multidiscipline group of 12 individuals who come together with our shared values to create brave and inspiring content. From producers to directors and editors. Management to finance and motion graphics. We believe in being accountable to our values as we recognise the importance and merit of each of them. They define our attitude, approach and actions and run deeply through the Clearhead team and process. Don't take our word for it, our clients consistently give us amazing reviews!
