What we do

six rooms. one roof. zero faff.

Most clients book the cyc and the cinema lighting. Some come for the podcast suite. A few come because we make their first-birthday cake smash easier than it has any right to be.

The space

a studio that earns its keep

Echelon Studios was built by Echelon Media's content team — the kit and the layout are what we'd want for our own client work. We just happen to rent the keys to other people too.

Why echelon

built by people who actually use studios

Echelon Studios is the sister-brand of Echelon Media, the award-winning marketing agency based across the courtyard.

That means our cyclorama is straight, our lighting is colour-matched, our podcast room actually keys clean audio, and the producer making your tea has shipped more campaigns than they've made cups of tea. Which is saying something.

In their words

people leave glad they came

We batched three months of LinkedIn content in one day. Echelon's team kept the energy up, the lighting consistent, and we left with 40 ready-to-post videos.
Aisha Patel — Marketing Director, B2B SaaS, London
Closest pro studio to Chelmsford by a country mile — and our team headshots came back consistent, polished, and within the week.
James Whitman — COO, professional services firm
We've shot two music videos and a press junket here. The cyc is properly lit, the loading bay actually fits a Luton, and Max has thought about every detail.
Lola Reece — Independent music label
Our newborn session was calm, warm and completely on her schedule. The images are framed above our bed.
Sarah & Tom — Parents, Tiptree
