About ARWEC

HUMAN MADE.
HERE FOR GOOD.

ARWEC has a purpose beyond profit –
and a vision for a better world.

 

 

ARWEC - we’re people, just like you, and humanity is what drives us.

We’re a multi-disciplinary team of diverse and dedicated, passionate people. We create everything in-house, at our purpose-built production studios in Southampton.


We shoot video for ads, photos for campaigns, and create assets for print and digital deployment. But before any of that  – we’re human. And ARWEC only exists because of the people who power it.

We have an in-house full service team ready to work with you, including an extended roster of creatives and agency partners.

Culture

Honesty

Authenticity

Accountability

These are the three pillars we built ARWEC on – and they’re ingrained into our culture. Openness and honesty, with you and with our team, and being authentically “us”; it means we never have to pretend we’re something we're not. It means we can trust each other, and can talk openly.

 

To us, it’s all about people. Because we don’t deal with businesses, or entities, or organisations – we deal with people. And when you put people first, everyone wins. Our clients get what they came for, and often, a whole lot more. Our team feels respected and rewarded at work – which helps them deliver better results.

 

And that is our culture. Not “Friday beers”, bean bag chairs, or all that surface-level stuff. It goes down to the core. When you come to ARWEC, you’re treated as a person, celebrated and seen for what makes you great.

 

Because before we’re a member of the team, a client, a model, a supplier, or anything else…

 

We are human.

Vangelis

Vangelis Stasinopoulos
Senior Marketing Manager,
Aveeno EMEA

“I have partnered with Son and his team on some critical projects for Aveeno. The discussion we had during the brief, gave me the confidence on the quality of the deliverables. During those projects, the communication and alignment as well as his deep understanding on our needs helped on having a flawless partnership.

Also, the agility, proactivity and adaptability the team showed helped significantly on meeting our very tight deadlines. The deliverables fully met and to some extent even exceeded my expectations, especially considering the complexity of the projects. The above gives me the confidence to continue working with Son on future projects that are even more demanding and critical to the brand.

Angharad Jones
Senior E-Retail Partnership Manager,
Shiseido

“Son and the team ensured our shoot moved forward and provided clear creative direction while shooting local skincare assets for a retailer campaign. The feedback process and final assets delivered against our initial brief and supported the brand growth and we rolled out to other partners. Really great to work with Son who is always easy to work with, friendly and brings lots of creative ideas!

OUR VISION

Our vision? It couldn’t be any simpler.

 

To make the world better – through our work, and with the things we do day-to-day.

 

Well, it might be simple, but it’s not small. Or easy. But we have this vision because it matters to us. And we have a plan to keep striving towards it.

OUR MISSION

As we grow, our mission will grow with us. After all, “mission accomplished” doesn’t mean “game over”. But today – our mission is to become the nation’s first-choice creative production studio:

 

  • For commercial, TV, film and social media content production
  • For studio photography and CGI, in digital and print formats
  • For diverse thought and new thinking

 

And you know what? We’re getting there, thanks to the amazing opportunities we’ve had, working with even more amazing people.
