Some of the best businesses in North Shields don’t shout the loudest — but they do have the best stories.
From independent shops and makers to cafés, studios and service providers, local businesses are built on people, place and personality. That’s why I Love North Shields has partnered with Sira Studio to offer a new video storytelling package designed specifically for small and micro businesses.
This is about telling your story in a way that feels real, rooted and human — and making sure it’s seen by the people who matter locally.
Why video — and why storytelling?
People connect with people, not adverts.
A short, well-made video can capture far more than a product or service. It can show:
- who you are
- what you care about
- why your business exists
- and what makes you part of North Shields
Used well, video becomes a piece of storytelling you can return to again and again — on your website, across social media, or as part of a wider campaign.
A local partnership, built for local businesses
This offer brings together two complementary strengths:
- Sira Studio provides professional filming and editing, capturing interviews and atmosphere on location.
- I Love North Shields handles the editorial framing and promotion, sharing your video with a trusted, engaged local audience.
It’s a simple partnership with one point of contact, clear pricing, and a focus on quality rather than volume.
What’s included — and how much does it cost?
We currently offer two video storytelling options, depending on how you want to use the content.
Both options include professional filming and local promotion by I Love North Shields.
Option A – Full Video Storytelling Package
£340 (all-in price)
This option is ideal if you want a video that can live on your website and work across social media.
It includes:
- A filmed interview on location
- Supporting B-roll footage
- A landscape video suitable for websites and YouTube
- A portrait-format video optimised for Instagram, Facebook and TikTok
- Subtitles throughout
- Editorial framing and promotion by I Love North Shields
This is the most versatile option, offering the widest range of uses.
Option B – Social Video Storytelling Package
£280 (all-in price)
This option is designed for businesses focused primarily on social media.
It includes:
- A filmed interview on location
- Supporting B-roll footage
- One portrait-format social video
- Subtitles throughout
- Editorial framing and promotion by I Love North Shields
A strong, simple option for social-first visibility.
Who this is for
This offer is specifically designed for small and micro businesses, independents, creatives and community-focused organisations.
It’s a good fit if you:
- run an independent or family business
- offer a local service
- are launching something new
- want content that feels authentic rather than corporate
This is not aimed at large corporate campaigns.
Looking ahead: longer-term storytelling
We’re also exploring short video series for businesses who want ongoing visibility over time — for example:
- one post per month
- or a short run of weekly content
These are quoted on a tailored basis depending on scope and duration.
Interested in telling your story?
We work with organisations of different sizes, and pricing is shaped around the scope and requirements of each project. Sira Studio would be able to advise on production costs once the brief is clearer, and we’re very happy to tailor the overall approach to suit your needs — whether that’s a one-off video or a short series over time.
Both I Love North Shields and Sira Studio work as delivery partners on publicly funded and place-based projects, and we’re used to collaborating with councils, community organisations and stakeholders.
If this sounds like something worth exploring, we’d really welcome an initial, no-obligation conversation to hear more about your plans and see whether it could be a good fit.
