Purposeful Storytelling for Remarkable Businesses

At Reach Video, we help businesses tell real stories that connect and inspire. If you’re under pressure to connect with stakeholders, clarify complex messages, or grow your brand authentically—we help you stand out, not by shouting louder, but by being more real.

We work with businesses across Scotland and beyond that lead by example—quietly delivering exceptional service—yet often unseen by those who need them most. You’re not looking for just another video. You’re looking for connection. Every film we make is shaped around what you want your audience to feel, think, or do—so your message lands clearly and sparks genuine connection.

Our films are crafted with care, grounded in the science of storytelling, and created to help you reach the right people and build lasting trust.

Why Work With Us?

You want your film to make a difference—not just add to the noise. Whether it’s building trust, simplifying a message, or strengthening credibility, we help your story reach the people who matter most. We work best with business owners, marketers, and comms professionals who care about doing things right—and know that connection beats generic content every time. If you need to simplify, inspire, or engage through video, we bring the insight and strategy to make it work.

Our Story

Elliot Hornell has spent over 25 years crafting stories that connect - from breaking news that demanded immediate trust to documentaries that changed how people saw complex issues. He learned that the most powerful stories help people feel something, understand what matters, and know what to do next.

Through partnerships with businesses across Aberdeen and beyond, he noticed something striking: the companies focused on doing great work - built on quality, integrity, and genuine service - were often the least likely to shout about it. And in a noisy world, that modesty sometimes kept them hidden.

These quietly remarkable businesses faced the same challenge Elliot recognised in his own approach: doing exceptional work doesn't guarantee being seen.

That’s why he founded Reach Video - to help these businesses share their real stories in ways that build trust and inspire the right people to act.

Today, we partner with organisations who understand that authentic connection beats generic content. Because when your story helps the right people feel it, get it, and remember it - that’s when your business becomes the one they choose.
