Bristol video production agency
Skylark has been making films that move people and shift behaviour since 2005. We're a B Corp-certified production agency working with brands, charities and public sector clients who need video to do more than look good. We combine the craft of a production house with the strategic thinking of a marketing agency.
We use video as a force for good, translating complexity into stories that engage.
With our focus is on the world of video marketing, our team combines professional video and marketing skills in a culture that’s supportive and fun. We love what we do and the results sing as a result.
Along the way we build strong relationships with our clients. Whether you’re a marketing manager with a campaign to bring to life, a green tech company that needs a hero film or a creative agency looking for seamless production support, we’re here to make your vision impossible to ignore.
And our secret sauce? The human-tech harmony; human judgement where it matters, AI where it accelerates and craft on everything that goes out the door.
The Team
Jo Haywood
From biology to the BBC, Jo blends business strategy with a creator’s soul. From producing science documentaries at BBC and C4 to founding Skylark in 2005, Jo’s mission has always been to use video to drive change. Her proudest moment: the BugLife film that raised £500k for planting wildlife corridors.
Nina Postans
Hiker, run leader and mother of two, Nina spent her early career in marketing across London and New York, where she launched a media agency’s subsidiary and built its North American market presence from the ground up. She is a vocal advocate for inclusive leadership and youth sport.
Jon Goossen
Jon started out in film-making in LA before moving client-side where he loves the challenge of a good brief. He’s now finding solutions for Skylark’s clients across sustainability, built infrastructure and science-led sectors. Jon can often be found on a coastal path, gardening, or road-testing a new pizza dough.
Josh John
Josh shapes Skylark’s signature look, bringing a sports and documentary background to his creative direction. An avid outdoorsman, any bike spotted in our videos was probably his idea.
Ellie Markwick

How we work
-
Craft
Our creative thinking is burnt in from the start, not as an afterthought. From the first spark of an idea to the final colour grade, we pour our heart into the details that will make your video pop. -
Partnership
Think of us as an extra desk in your office. You’ll work with the same friendly faces from kick-off to delivery. You’ll speak directly with our creative team. No account layers, nothing lost in translation. -
Accountability
When we agree on a price and a timeline, we stick to it. We keep things transparent so you always know exactly where your project stands – no surprises, no post-rationalised scope creep. -
Value for money
We don’t just make videos, we engineer them to convert. Using our data-driven performance creative skills, we can stretch your budget to get the most revenue from every campaign
