The brief

Sherbet Donkey are a large digital marketing agency based in the West Midlands specialising in website design and development, SEO, PPC and branding. 

With exponential growth in the last few years and a rebrand on the horizon, the team at ‘Sherbz’ came to us looking for a fresh look to their photography and video. 

How it happened

We sat down with Meg, the Internal Marketing Manager and discussed the values of Sherbet Donkey and how they wanted that to come across in their photography and video. At the core of the brand is a fun and straight-talking ethos that pushes the boundaries of creativity. During our consultation call, we came up with a plan to do two headshots per staff member, one professional shot using a short depth of feel, and one ‘fun’ one, incorporating props and wacky ideas that show off the individual personalities that make up the Sherbz team.

As well as headshot photography, we squeezed in some office shots to show the team in action and replace any stock imagery that was in use on their website.

Next came the video. With our newly acquired FPV Avata Drone in hand, we pitched the concept of an FPV Drone flythrough video, shot in one take with moments of action choreographed throughout the office to show the size of their office space as well as the great team they had working in it. Our crew of three (one pilot, one coordinator and one spotter) achieved the shot on the first run.

After a few extra runs for safety, the footage was handed over to our editor to add in a series of tracked motion graphics. This elevated the video from an aesthetically pleasing tour to a marketing tool, highlighting various marketing messages throughout with seamlessly integrated wording. Add in one specially crafted soundscape and we had an FPV Drone flythrough video with a twist that helps Sherbet Donkey to stand out from the crowd as a growing digital marketing agency who have heaps of personality and know their stuff.

How it's going

Since the initial round of photography and video, we have continued to work with Sherbet Donkey as their team have grown adding more headshots and providing materials for both them and their clients. Here’s Meg talking about the process of working with Middlebrook Media.
