Video marketing that people watch and act on
Updated October 2026.
Prohibition is a video marketing agency in Leeds. We plan, film, edit and promote video for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn and your website, then use paid media and SEO to put it in front of the right people. Our Christmas films for Goldsmiths passed 1.7M views on YouTube and the paid strategy behind them drove over £1M in sales.
Strategy, video production and promotion sit in one in-house team, so the idea, the shoot and the media plan all work to the same goal.
Why does video marketing work?
Because people watch before they buy. Video holds attention longer than text or images, explains a product in seconds and builds trust by showing real people. It also ranks: YouTube is the world’s second biggest search engine, and video results appear in Google and AI answers.
For Goldsmiths we made storytelling Christmas films and backed them with a paid plan. They earned 1.7M+ YouTube views, reached 86,000 people in the target audience and delivered a £7.94 return for every £1 spent. Read the Goldsmiths case study.

Our video marketing services
Everything from the first idea to the last report, made by our full-service creative agency team.
Video strategy
We start with who you need to reach, what they watch and what you want them to do next, then plan the films, formats and channels to match.
Video production
Our in-house video production team, led by Andy Ireland, shoots and edits everything from brand films to quick social cuts.
Video search optimisation
Titles, descriptions, chapters and thumbnails written to rank on YouTube and Google, and tracked through analytics. It sits alongside our social media marketing.
Social video content
Short, vertical video for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, planned as part of your content marketing rather than as one-off posts.
YouTube channel management
We set up, grow and run YouTube channels, with a publishing plan, community management and monthly reporting.
Paid video advertising
YouTube, Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn ads targeted by audience and tested by creative, so budget goes to the films that sell. We also make TV adverts.
Audience insight
We build personas from search, social and survey data so every film speaks to a real audience, and link video to our wider PR services.
Creator and influencer video
We brief creators whose followers match your customers, through our influencer marketing team, and reuse the best content in your own ads.
Measurement
We report views, watch time, clicks and sales against the AMEC framework, so you can see what each film earned, not just how many people saw it.
Brands That Trust Our Creative Services
Why choose Prohibition for video marketing?
How much does video marketing cost?
We quote per project for a film or a campaign, or a monthly retainer for ongoing content and channel management. The cost depends on how many films you need, shoot days, locations, animation, and how much paid media sits behind them. We give you a written quote after a first call.
A good fit
Brands that want video tied to sales, leads or awareness targets, with strategy, filming, editing and promotion from one team. Ideal if you also need consumer PR or branding.
Probably not the right fit
If you only need a single talking-head video with no plan to promote it, a freelance videographer will be better value.
We make video for brands including Goldsmiths, Interflora, CEWE, Emerald Publishing and Black Sheep Brewery. For Interflora we filmed three real-life stories behind the flowers it delivers, reaching 3.5M+ people at a cost per click of just £0.01.
Prohibition is a multi-award-winning PR agency in Leeds, a previous PRCA Agency of the Year and a member of the Worldcom PR Group. Good video also protects your brand reputation. Get in touch to talk through your next film.
