Steel fabricator · Canvey Island, Essex

Steel fabrication,
made watchable.

For 18 months we made the video and social content for a steel fabricator, so the scale and skill of the work could be seen by the people who commission it.

The brief

Impressive work.
Hardly seen online.

Apex Steel Structures specialises in bespoke steelwork design, fabrication and installation for sectors right across the construction industry. The work is large scale, technical and B2B, so most of it is never seen beyond the site. Apex wanted content that showed their capability and quality to the contractors and developers they work with.

In Apex’s words
“I think your posts are amazing and the wording is great… love the short videos with our staff in. I personally do love what you have done so far.”
What we did

From the workshop
to the feed.

We planned, shot, edited and posted the content, with regular sessions in the workshop and yard so there was always something new to show.

01

Shooting in the workshop and yard

Cutting, welding, spraying and loading, captured on location as short vertical videos and photos that show the scale and precision of the work.

02

Social, run for them

Content planned and posted for Apex, with Reels leading. In the 30 days to March 2025 Instagram views reached 5,298 and 39.6% of them came from people who did not already follow Apex.

03

A content plan built on video

In a February 2025 strategy meeting with the Apex team we set 3 content pillars: company ethos, case studies, and education about steel and working with Apex. Video came first, with themed pieces for dates such as International Women’s Day and Red Nose Day.

04

Design and branding

Branded assets to keep every post consistent and credible alongside the video.

Can video work for a B2B construction company?

Yes. Fabrication is visual, and short video shows the scale and precision that contractors and developers look for. See our video for trades and video production pages, or book a call with Sam below.
