Why the name

A sequence of content,
not one video.

We named it The Sequence because that’s what we make: a steady run of content for your business, planned so each piece builds on the last. Videos, posts, design, ads and the website they point to, all from one team.

We’re video led because that’s what we’re best at. Design, animation and web sit in the same team, so it all looks and sounds like you.

Led by Sam Martin, founder.
With a small in house team of videographers, editors, animators, designers and social media managers.

Video production

Content days on location, edited and ready to post.

Social media

Planned, posted and run for you, with ads that bring enquiries.

Design and animation

Websites

Sites built to turn views into bookings.

Meet the founder

Hey, I’m Sam.

It started in the 90s, when I was 10: Star Wars and Lord of the Rings videos in the garden, with homemade props and early motion graphics. That turned into film school, then my own company, Ginger Beard Productions, in 2015.

For years I made videos that looked great and did nothing. So in 2020 I rebuilt everything around one idea: content with a plan behind it. That became The Sequence.

The tools have changed a lot since I was 10. The goal hasn’t: content that helps business owners win.
