About Us

Tinker Taylor are a female led, Midlands based, video agency – with a big heart.

We love to work with purpose driven organisations; with people who share in our ambition to drive positive change, wherever and whenever possible. It’s why we are filmmakers. To inspire, educate and motivate audiences. We are on your side. Part of your team. Master collaborators. Solution driven. Beyond purpose, our videos make an impact. Every – single – time.

Our Story

Tinker Taylor is a Midlands-based premium video production agency founded by former BBC producer Sam Taylor, bringing over 30 years of experience. Specialising in high-quality, purpose-driven content, the agency excels in storytelling that inspires, motivates, and educates. 

With a dedicated team of directors, producers, editors, cinematographers, and more – complemented by a global network of creative professionals – Tinker Taylor fosters close client collaboration to craft meaningful narratives.

Renowned for working with prestigious clients like NHS England, Lloyds Bank, and Legal & General, as well as BAFTA-winning professionals and the Game of Thrones art department, the agency is known for challenging briefs, offering innovative solutions, and delivering impactful work with passion and precision.

Social Value

We’re passionate about giving back – whether it’s running film workshops for young people at Birmingham Children’s Trust, supporting cultural spaces like The Mockingbird Cinema, or offering internships to University of Birmingham students and Birmingham Children’s Trust apprentices that kick-start creative careers.

Each year, our team donates its talents to a project we deeply believe in, producing a film free of charge. Whether crafting poignant case studies for St. Mary’s Hospice or bringing historical dramas to life for Staffordshire Women’s Aid, we are passionate about creating films that truly resonate.

We use our platform to shine a light on important social issues, producing campaigns like #NoExcuseForAbuse with the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner. For us, storytelling isn’t just what we do – it’s how we make a difference.

Sustainability matters to us too. Our crew are Albert-trained, meaning we take environmental impact into account from the very start of our productions. Plus, we partner with Ecologi to plant trees and offset our carbon footprint – because great content shouldn’t cost the earth.
