Video & Photography in City of London
Your brand films and product videos need to move fast through compliance before they move audiences. We shoot, animate and edit work designed for the Square Mile's approval timelines—not despite them.
Video & Photography for City of London businesses
Hubb Group is a digital agency and software company. Our studio is in Dubai and we work with UK clients remotely, on UK hours, with a named lead on every project. Contracts and invoices are issued by our UAE company, in pounds.
We measure watch-through rates by section, identify where viewers drop off, track clicks from video to landing page, count form completions and calculate cost-per-qualified-lead. Results sit in a dashboard your compliance team can review. No inflated impressions or vanity metrics—just proof your video moved a buyer closer to decision.
Every project is a fixed quote with a clear timeline and clear milestones. You own the work and the accounts outright when we're done — no lock-in, and nothing you can't take with you.

Video that passes compliance without losing impact
Regulated firms and their advisers live with sign-off steps. Your video has to survive internal review—claims checked, messaging verified, tone measured—before it reaches anyone outside. We build that review into the production schedule from the start, not as a last-minute hurdle. Remote-directed shoots and animation mean you approve direction before we film, not after.
Financial services video is precise work. Every statement earns its place. We cut product films, brand narratives and social cutdowns that say what matters to your buyer, evidence it where required, and move to the next frame. No filler. No claims that wobble under scrutiny.
Animation and stock footage when location work sits outside the timeline
You don't always need a crew at a location. We direct animated sequences, motion graphics and edited compilations from your existing footage or stock that compress approval cycles and cut production cost. This works especially well for compliance-heavy content—regulatory explainers, process visuals, risk disclosures—where pre-built assets mean fewer rounds of revision.
Post-production on footage you've already shot moves faster too. We cut it, grade it, add motion and overlay it with on-screen text or voiceover. Compliance teams get to review the finished cut without waiting for a crew schedule to align.
Measurement that compliance teams sign off on
Video performance matters, but so does proof that won't be questioned in your next compliance audit. We track watch-through rates, engagement by frame, CTR from video to landing page, and cost-per-qualified-enquiry—metrics your internal review team can verify independently. No inflated vanity numbers.
Social cutdowns, product films and animated sequences each get their own benchmarks. You see which versions hold attention, which calls-to-action convert, and which messages resonate with your target buyer. That data sits in your dashboard and feeds into the next production brief.
Built for how the Square Mile actually approves things
Your marketing doesn't clear faster because it's good—it clears because it was built with approvers in mind. Script review, animated storyboards, compliance-ready narration and on-screen disclaimers are planned before we spend budget on production. Sign-off becomes a formality, not a negotiation.
We've built video for banks, brokers, advisers and insurers where internal governance matters as much as creative. That means shorter revision cycles, measured claims language, and production timelines that treat compliance as part of the process, not a brake on it.

Video & Photography in City of London — common questions
How do you handle compliance review in the production timeline?
We build approval steps into the schedule. Script and storyboard go to your compliance team before filming or animation starts. Revisions land early. By the time the edit is finished, messaging is already signed off—no last-minute rewrites that slow launch.
Can you work with footage we've already shot?
Yes. We colour-grade, edit, add motion, overlay text or voiceover, and deliver finished cuts. This speeds up production and approval since your compliance team reviews the final piece, not raw material or work-in-progress.
What kind of video performs best in financial services?
Product explainers, process walkthroughs, client testimonials and risk disclosures work hardest. They move buyers through understanding to decision. Animation works especially well for regulated content because you control every frame and message beforehand.
How do you measure whether the video is actually selling?
We track watch-through by section, drop-off points, CTR to landing page, form completions and cost-per-lead. These metrics sit in your dashboard and hold up to compliance audit. Vanity numbers don't count.
Do you need to film on location in the City?
Not necessarily. Animation, motion graphics and edited sequences from existing footage often work faster and cost less. If location shooting adds genuine value to your message, we plan it. If it doesn't, we don't recommend it.
What's the timeline from brief to approved final cut?
It depends on complexity and approval rounds. A social cutdown typically takes 3–4 weeks. A product film with compliance review built in runs 6–8 weeks. We front-load approval so you're not waiting for legal sign-off at the end.
