We help businesses tell their stories through brilliant, goal-driven video content. Chris and Issy Howell here! We're a father-daughter team who've built Howell Media from the ground up, combining our love for storytelling with proper professional standards. It's all about creating videos that actually work for your business. What we do:
• Video Production: If it's snappy social content or full-bl

own documentaries, we've got you covered
• Live Events: From intimate networking do's and conferences to massive festivals - we capture the energy and stream it live in gorgeous HD/4K. We're trusted by events such as ATOMICON, Mani-Fest and PeakeFest.
• Coaching: We teach entrepreneurs how to create cracking video content (even if you're camera-shy!)

With over 1800+ projects, we've learned that it's not just about fancy kit, it's about understanding what makes your audience tick. You might know us from our podcast "Looks Like We Made It" where we chat about the ups and downs of building a business. Drop us a line! We're proudly based in Sunderland but work with brilliant people all over the UK. Fancy a chat about how video could work for your business? Drop us a message or book a free 30-minute mastermind - we'd love to hear what you're up to.

Struggling to make your videos stand out?

Ever wondered why some event videos grab attention while others just... disappear? Here’s a secret: you don’t need a Hollywood budget to create scroll-stopping content—just a few pro tricks and a dash of confidence.

I’m Issy, Head of Production at Howell Media, and after 1,800+ projects (and a few wild festival days!), I know what works for cultural institutions and event organisers who want results.

Here’s a quick win for your next shoot: Focus on storytelling over perfection. Audiences remember the moment, not the flawless lighting. Share a behind-the-scenes glimpse, an artist’s laugh, or a crowd’s reaction—those little sparks build trust and excitement every time.

Want more easy tips or need a hand planning your next video? Drop me a message or comment below—I love helping local teams shine! 😊

Let’s make your next project unforgettable. 🚀

Meet the face behind our camera magic.

This is Chris—co-founder, dad, and the steady hand behind so many of Howell Media’s most memorable shoots. It’s not just the gear or the experience (though there’s plenty of both); it’s the calm, creative energy he brings to every project that clients remember long after the lights go down.

Curious how a family-run team delivers big-agency results with a personal touch? Let’s connect and chat about your next event or story. 😊

Turning moments into memories—live and on air!

Ever wondered what it takes to capture the magic of a packed awards night, stream it live, and make every guest feel like a VIP? That’s exactly what we pulled off at the Northeast Hair & Beauty Awards! From setting up our BlackMagic cameras to managing every lighting cue, our team worked behind the scenes to deliver a flawless livestream—so everyone (in the room and online) could soak up the excitement.

Seeing the smiles, the nerves, and the big wins—THAT’S why we do what we do. And when clients tell us, “We couldn’t have done it without you,” it’s the best reward of all.

Curious how a creative, family-run team like ours can help your next event shine? Drop us a message today! 🌟
