Local, on purpose
HORN is based in Stroud and works with independent businesses across the Five Valleys, the Cotswolds and wider Gloucestershire — from Nailsworth, Painswick and Minchinhampton to Cirencester, Tetbury, Cheltenham and Gloucester. Local matters for two reasons. Your customers are local, so your videos should feel like here. And some of the work is best done in person, at your counter, in your kitchen or on your site.

Why short-form video matters for a local business
For most independents, the people who'll become customers live within a short drive — and they're on their phones every day. Short-form video is one of the few places a small business can reach them without an advertising budget, simply by making something worth watching. Done well, it makes you familiar before anyone walks through the door. Done badly, it's hours a week posted into the void. The difference is almost always in the first two seconds, and it's teachable.
Consulting, not production
HORN doesn't make your content and never posts for you. It teaches you the mechanics — the hook, the structure, the cadence, how to read your numbers — so you can make videos yourself, in your own voice, long after we've finished. You keep the camera, the account and the skill. Read how the method works.
