How Much Does a Brand Video Cost in the UK?

Some freelancers advertise videos for £150. Agencies might quote over £5,000. So what’s realistic? And more importantly — what actually gets you results?
Let’s unpack the real cost of a brand video in the UK and what you're actually paying for.
🎥 First, What Is a Brand Video?
A brand video is a 1–3 minute story-led film that introduces your business — who you are, what you do, and why you do it. It’s usually placed on your website homepage, shared in emails, and used in pitches or proposals.
It’s not a one-off promo or ad. It’s your core brand story, told through visuals, sound and emotion — designed to build trust and make a strong first impression.

Here’s a quick overview of what you might expect depending on who you hire:

💡 The Real Question: What’s It Worth?
Cheap videos are everywhere — but they often miss the mark. A £200 video might look decent, but if it doesn’t build trust or drive action, it’s just a shiny placeholder.
What you're investing in with a professional brand video is:
