Video production company marks eight years with Octopus rebrand

Chippenham-based video production company Bower Films has celebrated its eighth anniversary by rebranding as Octopus Films.

Co-founder Giles Edwards and Ellie Edwards say the new name reflects the company’s flexibility and problem-solving abilities.

With clients such as BBC’s Countryfile Live, the British Council and Dyson, Octopus Films helps businesses connect with their audience through explainer videos, event documentation, TV adverts, testimonial videos and corporate films.

For larger projects it assembles a team of trusted, former BBC production staff and crew.

Experienced in working across a range of industries, its clients span financial, IT, medical, charity and education sectors, both locally and nationally.

Clients include Bristol Centre For Reproductive Medicine in Bristol, Nelson Hall, and Medical Detection Dogs.

Leading every project, creative producer Ellie has 14 years’ of broadcast and corporate experience, while co-founder and technical director Giles has worked across both the corporate and TV industries for more than 30 years.

“We set out to refresh our name and logo to accurately reflect our company’s values – creativity, adaptability, agility and also, great problem-solving skills. The octopus was the perfect emblem – they are nimble, flexible creatures and famed for their smart approach,” said Ellie.

“We love producing vibrant, engaging and unique video content for businesses that are keen to show their best side. We can always promise a personal service and our senior team leads the entire production process.”

Giles added: “We believe in real stories well told. We draw on our years of documentary experience to get beneath the surface every time. By combining crafted, truthful films with refined editorial values, we tell stories that accurately reflect our clients’ lives and businesses.”
