Hey there! We’re Bitpod, born back in 2003 with a love for all things related to digital content. Fast forward to 2005, and along came YouTube—suddenly, online videos were possible, and we couldn’t have been more excited!
History
Filming an interview at Cambridge University
Our first event at the Barnfield Theatre Exeter. This may have been a little over ambitious seeing as the theatre seats 280 people. So then the heating failed and there were no staff to serve our coffee. It was certainly a memorable event, and amazingly a great success with nice feedback!

Halloween with Calendar Club!
NHS interviews at Yeovil Hospital
Producing an animation for Flourish Workplace

Elemental Digest’s animation project
Our story started working from the confines of our family home, just us, passion, and big dreams. By 2012, we were loving life in our very own office in Exeter with a growing team. A year later we moved to a different, and much bigger part of the building.

In 2016 we were on the move again, this time spreading out in an even bigger space so we had more room for our people and our ever expanding equipment. This time we had 1000 square feet with six offices to allow us to create individual spaces for a studio, reception areas and large multi-purpose meeting room. It was great to finally have our own kitchen and bathroom area.

Then came the challenges of 2020, and the world shifted in ways no one could have predicted. We, like everyone, had to adapt — and fast! But it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Embracing the virtual world, we began working with clients and team members from all corners of the globe, right from the comfort of our homes. We’ve always been about innovation and finding creative ways to use video. The pandemic just proved that we could do it under any circumstances.

As things opened up, we’re now a blend of in-person and remote work, picking the best of both worlds. We’re not just about making room for more equipment anymore; we’re also about making space for new ideas, diverse voices, and dynamic ways of working together, no matter where ‘together’ might be.
