Recently, we welcomed Mates in Mind and fischer group into the studio for a new collab they are working on - a series of videos that dive deep into real-life mental health struggles and how businesses can better support their teams' wellbeing.

The discussions were raw, the stories were hard-hitting, and the mission is clear: to break the stigma around mental health and encourage open conversations, especially in the construction industry.

Look out for this impactful series—coming soon!

Another great recording for The Build Up Podcast!

Today we had Emma from Limitless EJS in the studio to chat with Dan about how she supports brands and influencers in the construction industry.

One of the key takeaways from the episode were her top three things that content creators/influencers should have in place before engaging in paid promotions with brands.

We're nearly ready to launch the podcast now and we're excited to share it!

If you feel like you could add to the conversation around marketing in the construction industry, I'd love to hear from you.

Hope everyone's having a great week!

Yet another amazing shoot with ! This time, we were at Southampton FC filming a case study on the installation of 15,000 fischer fixings in the new safe standing zone at the club. ⚽

Our team captured insightful interviews with technical experts from fischer, their supply chain partner, and the contractor, right around the stadium. Plus, we had a blast exploring Southampton for some stunning B-roll footage.

Can't wait to share the final results!

17/07/2024

We guess our team are now surgeons - just kidding... but we did capture a real one with our cameras!

Back shooting again with our clients Ramsay Healthcare recently, but this time we explored a new site: New Hall Hospital.

The brief was to get a wide variety of stills from maintenance crews to surgeons, and even though filming a live surgery wasn't on the agenda, when they asked if we were happy to scrub in and snap some images, we said hell yeah! Keelan also stepped in front of the camera for part of the day to model for a men's health campaign that Ramsay will be running later this year.

These photos will be used across their website, recruitment campaigns, socials, and more. Huge thanks to the New Hall Hospital crew and Ramsay, as usual, for being awesome!

Great to have in the podcast studio today. 🎙️🎥

One of the most genuine people in the industry and a benchmark for authentic content.

Dan and Mark discussed marketing for construction brands from the perspective of an influencer.

Mark gave insights into his journey and both discussed what's working and what's not working in the landscape of influencer marketing.

Big thanks to Mark for coming in and checking out what we do at dissident.

Excited to share our latest project with Werner Ladder UK and their game-changing Boss QuickPod Platform!

Werner, a brand synonymous with top-tier ladders and platforms, approached us for media content for their newest product and we were more than happy to take on the challenge.

They wanted to shift from their traditional clean visuals to a grittier, more relatable vibe. From concept to ex*****on, Werner made the process seamless with their clear vision, making it easy to capture everything they pictured.

Special shoutout to Chance1Carl who went above and beyond as our model, bringing the client's vision to life.

They messed with his Script!

We had a blast filming with in the studio last week. We filmed a variety of launch content in our studio across two days.

We had in to present a toolbox talk and demo of their Cavity fixing range. little did we know fischer had messed with his Script (Bruce almighty style).

The result was a lot of hysterical laughter.

We’re excited about this one…Totectors!

Last year we stumbled across Totectors_UK at Toolfair and were blown away with their product. Stylish yet functional safety work boots. Well, we hit them up, told them how much we dig their brand, and boom, collab time!

So a few weeks ago, we got into the studio to film some UGC style videos showcasing their new Williams boots featuring none other than the awesome Chance1Carl himself, showing off these bad boys in action. And you know we couldn't resist snapping some killer pics while we were at it!

The videos are going to be used specifically for ad campaigns across different social media platforms, so keep your eyes peeled….dissident/Toetectors vids will be hitting your feeds soon!

A couple of weeks ago, we were back capturing another incredible project by fischer group right in the heart of Shoreditch!

Our team was on the ground from start to finish, recording every moment of the journey. Mollie, one of our talented content creators, dove headfirst into the project, practically relocating down South for the week.

The concept? An interactive billboard showcasing the strength of fischer's legendary DuoPower plug. Passersby were invited to participate in a tug-of-war challenge, testing the limits of the DuoPower plug. With just four plugs securing the rope to the brick wall, participants vied for the chance to win £500.

From documenting the billboard install bright and early on Monday morning (5am to be exact) to capturing all the action on Saturday, Mollie was there every step of the way.

Beyond the excitement of the stunt itself, witnessing the buildup and seeing the community's reaction was awesome.

When and where is the next one fischer UK? We're ready!

13/05/2024

Two action-packed days, 29 interviews, and a wealth of awesome footage on the way!

Once again our team joined forces with Ramsay Healthcare for another amazing shoot, spanning various spots across Hertfordshire & Essex.

This time rather than focusing on their state of the art equipment, we shifted the spotlight to Ramsay's exceptional customer service. The final edits will become apart of Ramsay's marketing material for a global conference later this year, highlighting the amazing team that Ramsay not only have here in the UK, but globally.

Another great experience with Ramsay. Excited for what else we've got coming up throughout the year!

Believe it or not, a chunk of our time is devoted to attending exhibitions each year, not as exhibitors, but as content creators for our clients, and we love it!

It's a fantastic opportunity to capture captivating visuals of products in action and showcase the essence of brands. For example, here are some stills we captured of brand Caparol UK at their debut appearance at the National Painting and Decorating Show last Autumn.

This year, we're already booked in to film video and photo at UK Construction Week, UK Games Expo, Installershow, and Screwfix Live for a host of clients.

If you're looking to document your brand at an exhibition this year, let's connect and discuss how we can help you stand out in the crowd!

How do you film a house made out of mirrors without getting yourself in the shot??....

Invisible House is an example of unique and groundbreaking architecture, the first of its kind in the UK, and we were lucky enough to film it as a case study for our client SFS.

Take a look - do we feature anywhere? 😏

Back in action with Ramsay Health Care UK again, and guess what? No scrubs this time, No No! 🎶 (Sorry, we had to 😜)

Last Friday, the creative team got to stay a bit more local to our homebase and headed to Stafford to film a production highlighting Ramsay's cutting-edge mobile diagnostic service.

From four insightful interviews in the morning to capturing the entire patient journey in the afternoon, along with dynamic B-roll footage of the diagnostic unit throughout the day, the team got fully immersed in this amazing service that Ramsay are able to provide.

As usual a massive shoutout to the entire Ramsay team for their incredible collaboration and support throughout the shoot. Can't wait for the next one!

Yesterday three members of the team were invited back to college! ✏️

Mollie, Dan and Keelan were welcomed with open arms by the photography, media studies, and graphic design students of Stafford College to share insights into dissident creative agency, the evolving industry landscape, and the unexpected journey of skill acquisition.

It was an incredible opportunity for us to connect with new budding talents and shed light on the dynamic nature of our work. As specialists in our field, we've discovered that our individual skill sets have expanded far beyond our initial areas of study. Take Mollie, for instance, who initially studied photography, but now excels in videography and has learned skills in graphic design, and social media!

What made this experience even more special was the fact that all three of our team are alumni of Stafford College. Plus, Dan has a unique perspective, having previously served as a teacher there.

Thank you to Stafford College for the warm welcome and to the students for their enthusiasm!

Our boss @dan recently shared a powerful concept: "A video's length should match its entertainment value." At dissident creative agency, we're often asked during pre-production, "How long should our video be?" Given the prevailing belief in shrinking attention spans, it's a complex question. But we challenge this notion. We believe we now have higher standards and less patience for dull content due to the abundance of choices at our fingertips! #fabrication #construction #engineering #constructionmarketing #creativeagency #videographer #dissident #dissidentcreativeagency #creativeagency

Absolutely buzzing about our new client, Tyde. We took a trip to Tyde HQ yesterday to learn more about what they do and to demo the products we'll be shooting very soon! 🤘🏻💧

The fischer FMS system forms the essential base for robust pipework and utilities in extensive construction ventures. We captured a mesmerising timelapse during the process – @Dan can't resist a good timelapse! It ran smoothly alongside our filming across various sections of the site. Kudos to our awesome team for nailing it! #Construction #Architecture #BuildingDesign #ConstructionLife #ConstructionManagement #Contractor #Renovation #HomeImprovement #StructuralEngineering #ConstructionIndustry

At dissident, we've had the privilege of collaborating with industry leaders like fischer! Their trust in our creative prowess and construction insights speaks volumes. Together, we've crafted remarkable creative and modern content that will stand the test of time, much like their products!
