BTS This Month at BearJam - June 2025
We’ve been working with some pretty epic clients lately - and instead of just telling you, let me give you a little behind-the-scenes peek of a few of them.
Studioverse
We were invited to attend and present at StudioVerse 2025, an event hosted by StudioSpace and attended by lots of brands and agencies at the OXO tower (a pretty iconic building).. There was a palpable energy in the room, which was fostered by the different pop up exhibitions put on by the agencies and the many talks.
A highlight for me was the pitch battle - which was much less battle and more a showcase of what agencies can do when they team up together - as 3 agencies each brought something different to the 'brief' but presented it together. It shows the breadth of the agencies studio space as to offer and the power of collaboration all in one 20 minute slot on the stage.
Filming at Victoria for Cardinal Place
Cardinal place: We gathered half a dozen BearJam crew members and headed to Cardinal Place for a day of filming to showcase the vibrant transformation of the space. The video highlights Landsec’s incredible placemaking changes, from lush landscaping and eco-friendly updates (greenifying, is that a word?!) to striking art installations and architectural upgrades.
Since the film required interviews with up to six contributors and a presenter-led narrative, we spent a day beforehand recceing the location. This allowed us to create a detailed pre-viz deck, mapping out interview spots and sampling the b-roll shots we’d need. (Pro tip: Use the app Cadrage to preview your camera’s perspective and test different lenses right from your phone!)
Shooting in live public spaces always has its challenges, but thorough prep, and a few hazelnut lattes keeps everything on track!
Knight Frank: Charting the Course for Future Retirement Living
Joining Knight Frank's Tom Scaife and Katie Evans, Trey and John embarked on a site visit to explore innovative retirement models. Tours of McCarthy Stone's Retirement Living PLUS and Birchgrove Christ Church Apartments provided valuable perspectives on high-quality senior living.
While the sophistication of these communities was undeniable, the experience highlighted a personal preference: the future retirement dream still involves the soothing presence of the sea.
These visits contribute to our ongoing NextGen Living 2025 project. We regularly publish videos and thought leadership pieces on our Foleon microsite, delving into the key themes defining the future of living – one or two new videos land each month.

(Stay tuned for the BJP Film, coming soon after Knight Frank approval).
BearJam hit the track with our Team Social
Turns out… we're just as competitive behind the wheel as we are behind the camera.
We took the team out for an e-karting social - a chance to swap edits for engines and get to know each other outside the office.
Plenty of laughs, a few questionable cornering techniques, and maybe a little too much talk about fastest laps…
Big shoutout to the crew for making it such a fun day - same time next quarter?
We also Marketing/Advertising Campaign of the Year at the UKGBA for our “Visions of the Future” campaign with Osprey Charging Network.
If you’re looking for a video production team in London to help you create some standout content, feel free to drop us a message - we’d love to chat.
See you next month for the next BTS at BearJam in the meantime check out our other blogs for all things BearJam!!
