Content creation and reels
Reels and content people actually stop for
Scroll-stopping reels, TikToks and social content for restaurants and local businesses.
Forth Media is a content creation agency for restaurants, cafés, venues and local businesses in Central Scotland. We plan, film and edit short-form video and photos for Instagram, TikTok and Facebook, shot on location in Fife, Lanarkshire, Stirling, Falkirk and West Lothian. You get a bank of reels and posts that look like your business, ready to publish.
The problem with “we should post more”
Everyone knows short video works. The hard part is making it. Filming on a phone between services, working out what to post, editing it, adding captions, then doing it all again next week. Most businesses manage a few reels, then life gets busy and the account goes quiet.
We take the whole job off your hands. One visit gives you weeks of content.
What our content creation agency delivers
Food reels
Sizzling pans, slow pours, the perfect cut. Short, satisfying clips of your food that make people want to visit.
Behind-the-scenes video
The team, the prep, the regulars. The human side of your business that builds loyalty.
TikToks and trends
Short videos made for TikTok, using trends where they fit your brand and skipping them where they don’t.
Photo sets for posts
Stills shot during the same visit, so your feed has a mix of photos and video.
Edited, captioned, ready to post
Vertical 9:16 edits with captions and music, sized for Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.
A content plan
A simple plan of what to post and when, built around your menu, events and seasons.
Social media content creation agency, not just a videographer
A videographer films what you ask for. A social media content creation agency thinks about what will work on the platform first. We plan hooks for the first second, keep reels short, add captions for people watching on mute, and shoot in vertical from the start.
Because we also run social media management and paid ads for clients, we see what actually gets views, saves and bookings. That feeds straight back into the next shoot.
Food reels that work
Food reels are our speciality. The best ones are simple: one dish, a strong opening shot, a satisfying moment, and a clear reason to visit. We plan a list of reel ideas before the shoot, film several versions of each, and edit them into short cuts made for each platform.
Your own food content creator, without hiring one
Some businesses work with influencers or hire a food content creator in-house. We give you the same kind of content, made by a team that knows your business and comes back every month. No one-off posts that disappear from someone else’s feed.
Reels production and video content creation services
Need something bigger? Our reels production covers launch videos, promo clips for ads, recruitment videos and menu teasers. For full event films and longer corporate pieces, see event videography. Our video content creation services all start with the same question: where will this be watched?
Our work
Real reels and content, made for real clients.

Digital content creation agency for the whole journey
Good content does more than fill your feed. The same reels can run as ads, sit on your website, appear on your Google Business Profile and be sent to local press. As a digital content creation agency, we make sure every shoot gives you content for all of those places, not just Instagram.
Which package is content creation in?
A one-off content shoot is part of our Starter package. Monthly content shoots are the heart of Growth, and the Full Package adds ads to put that content in front of new people. Compare packages.

Content creation FAQs
What does a content creation agency do?
A content creation agency plans, films and edits photos and videos for your social media, website and ads. At Forth Media we focus on short-form video like reels and TikToks, plus photos, all shot on location at your business.
How many reels do I get from one shoot?
It depends on the scope of the shoot, and we confirm it in your quote. We plan the shoot so you leave with enough content for several weeks of posting.
Do you post the content for us?
We can. Posting and community management are part of our social media management service and our Growth package. If you’d rather post yourself, we deliver the files ready to go.
Do you only make food reels?
No. Food reels are a big part of what we do, but we also create content for venues, retailers, salons, trades and professional services.
Who appears in the videos?
Whoever you like. We’re happy to film the team, the owners or just the food. We’ll always ask before filming customers.
How much do video content creation services cost?
We quote every project individually, so you only pay for what you need. See our packages.
