Video Production for St Ives Businesses
St Ives runs on two different customers. One wants a good day out at the Monday market or along the riverside. The other is a growing number of commuters who work in Cambridge and spend locally in the evening. We work from Hills Road in Cambridge, about twenty five minutes away, and build the shot list around the job the film has to do. That might be a marina hospitality advert or a recruitment film for a trades business. One day of filming should give you a year of usable assets, not one clip that only works once.

About us
Clickscope is a small production team based in Cambridge, about twenty five minutes from St Ives. We work with traders, trades businesses and riverside leisure operators on ad creative, product film and recruitment video. We're a Cambridge digital marketing agency about 25 minutes away, close enough that video decisions get made in person, not over email chains.
Our MISSION
Plan the shoot around the job, then cut it several ways
We start by agreeing what a St Ives business needs a film to do, whether that's selling a riverside evening out or recruiting for a busy trades team. From there we build a shot list for a master film, ad variants and vertical cuts, then report on whichever measure that job actually calls for.

Judged on the job, not the view count
Every film is measured against what it was made for, cost per result for an ad, or whether a recruitment film brings in stronger applicants.
How we run video production for St Ives businesses
01 / How we work
One shoot, several deliverables
Our shot lists are built so a single day produces a master film, short ad variants, vertical social cuts and stills. The crew and the day are the expensive part, not the number of assets produced.

Measured against a defined job
We agree before filming whether a piece is judged on cost per result, enquiries generated, or faster recruitment, so nothing gets replaced on a whim.

Everything stays in your name
Final edits and subtitle files are handed over as standard, with raw footage available on request. Full usage rights are included, and licensed music is cleared and credited.
Client Results
A St Ives client we filmed for scaled advertising spend from £3,700 a month to between £130,000 and £190,000 in monthly sales. That account only kept converting because there was a steady run of fresh video behind the ads, not one clip reused until it wore out. Google Ads carried most of that growth, but the footage is what stopped the creative going stale.

FAQ
The questions you actually want answered
Do you film on site in St Ives, or do we need to come to you?
Almost always on your premises. We're about twenty five minutes from St Ives on the A14. We'd rather see a marina, a market stall or a trades yard in person before planning a shoot list.
How much does a video shoot for a St Ives business cost?
Costs are quoted per project and depend mostly on shoot days, crew size and how much editing each deliverable takes. Cutting a single day into several short assets tends to be the best value, with a full breakdown before booking.
Do we have to commit to a contract for video work?
No, video is booked project by project. Want a steady supply of ad creative instead? That runs rolling monthly with 30 days' notice, the same terms as elsewhere.
Can you promise the film will perform once it goes live as an ad?
A hold rate can't be guaranteed before a cut has actually run. We settle beforehand what the film is meant to achieve, whether cost per result or a faster sales conversation, so it can be fairly judged.
St Ives is a small market town. Is a proper video shoot worth it here?
Usually, yes. Competition among local marketing agencies is low in St Ives. A well planned film for the marina, the market or a trades business tends to stand out precisely because so few competitors bother.
Which St Ives sectors do you make video for?
Trades and home services, independent retail and riverside hospitality are sectors we know well here. Recruitment video for a growing trades business is often the highest return use of a single shoot day.
Do you only make video for St Ives businesses?
No. We're based on Hills Road in Cambridge, about twenty five minutes away, and also film for clients in Huntingdon, St Neots and Cambridge itself. Being close to St Ives shapes how we plan a shoot, not who it's for.
Would you also build the page hosting the video?
Yes. Web design and development sit in-house alongside video production, so if the page holding your product demonstration is losing enquiries, we can fix that at the same time.
What should we expect in the first 90 days of a video project?
We agree what job the film needs to do, plan a shot list covering multiple deliverables, then film and edit with two review rounds. Fast social cuts can land within days of filming if arranged upfront.
How can we know for certain the video is working?
It depends where it sits. As an ad, cost per result against the rest of the account. On a product page, conversion against visitors who skipped it. For recruitment, whether applications increase.
St Ives doesn't have many marketing agencies competing for attention here. Does that make video worth the investment?
It usually helps. Competition among agencies serving St Ives is low, so a business with a genuinely planned film tends to look more established than most local rivals bother to appear.
