WWF | ‘BACK BRITISH FARMING’ CAMPAIGN

PRODUCTION + FILM + STILLS

WWF | Back British Farming Campaign

Budget: £24k

Year: 2020

In 2020, we were commissioned by WWF to produce a powerful suite of films and stills for the Back British Farming campaign – a national initiative designed to amplify the voices of local farmers, food producers, chefs, and community leaders during a critical time of political and economic change.

This project showcased our ability to combine strong editorial messaging with cinematic visuals – helping shape public discourse and influence decision-makers at a critical moment.

Production Overview:

We filmed across the North East, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire – areas known as red wall constituencies – capturing the stories of real people who are proud of the food they produce and committed to maintaining the UK’s high standards in food safety, animal welfare, and environmental protection.

At the heart of the campaign was a powerful message, expressed in an open letter to MPs:

“We are local food producers, farmers, chefs, parents and community leaders... But we and the community are very worried. There’s a risk that trade deals being struck by the Government could undercut our farmers, put low quality food on our shelves, and pollute our local environment.”

The films brought this message to life, integrating on-the-ground perspectives with compelling visuals that highlighted both the cultural and environmental stakes of lowering food standards.

Our Role:

  • Agile, end-to-end production under a tight budget and timeline

  • National reach via Photography billboard, press and print campaign

  • Film and edit a series of 3 short films, with social media cut downs

  • Strategic support for a policy-focused communications initiative
