Alex Lester

Commercial video production agency. Bring your messaging to life and captivate your audience with authentic video content. With over 20 years of experience in marketing between us, my wife and I founded Lester Film Co. in 2022.

Studio Lester is a remote videography and photography studio servicing the UK and beyond. Our mission is to create honest photo and video packages that tell your story in a candid, artistic way - specialising in weddings, corporate shoots and aerial media.

In April 2018, I began working on a short-term freelance contract with Leeds-based marketing agency, Fractl. My role was to develop a content strategy doc for one of the agency's clients before delivering the copy within a set time frame.

Taking competitor analysis, keywords, search trends and UX design into account, the strategy resulted in the creation of a 40,000 word guide, focusing on a range of niche topics relevant to the sector in which the client operated - in this instance, online gaming and gambling.

During my time at Fractl I worked closely with the agency's design team and Creative Directors, before delivering the content on-time and with minimal amends.

Testimonial from the client: "Alex is very easy to work with and is a really nice guy. His significant agency experience really shows, which is so useful because you can speak with a shorthand that you can't with some other freelance writers who have never managed or directly worked with clients” Show less
