Case studies.

The brief, what we made and what happened next.

Training and social video · Finance

Making finance easy to watch.

The client

Digital Accounting Evolution has worked with us on several projects, from a full training platform to quick-fire social videos.

The challenge

Finance topics can be dry. DAE needed filmed content for their training platform that people would actually watch and learn from, plus short videos explaining topical subjects on social media.

What we did

  • Filmed and edited the content for their online training platform.
  • Shot photography and set up the platform with DAE’s branding and a landing page.
  • Made a short, punchy social video explaining EBITDA in under 75 seconds.
  • Produced a video explaining Peppol.

Hear Samantha from DAE explain why they chose us in the client videos further down this page.

Promotional film · Bespoke furniture

Showing the craft behind every fitted room.

The client

Albert Henry designs and makes bespoke fitted furniture.

The challenge

Bespoke furniture is a big decision, and customers want to know who’s making it and how before they commit. Albert Henry needed films that showed the quality of the work and the people behind it.

What we did

  • A main promotional film giving an overview of the business.
  • Separate short films showing each stage of the process.
  • Filmed customer testimonials, so buyers hear it from other homeowners.
  • Landscape versions for social media alongside the main edits.

Hear Mollie from Albert Henry talk about the project in the client videos further down this page.

Promotional film · Garden rooms

From the factory floor to the bottom of the garden.

The client

Cosy Garden Rooms designs and builds garden rooms, made in their own factory. We’ve worked with them several times.

The challenge

A garden room is a big purchase, and buyers want to know what goes into one and who they’re dealing with. Cosy needed a film that shows what makes a Cosy Garden Room and how it gets from the factory to the customer.

What we did

  • Filmed Mark Jennison talking to camera, using autocue so he could speak clearly and naturally.
  • Captured B-roll in the factory, showing the rooms being built.
  • Filmed Mark taking customers through the sales process, including on screen.

“They’re easy to work with, they listened to what we wanted to achieve and brought their own ideas and suggestions to the process.”

Case study films · Warehouse technology

Proving it works, on real warehouse floors.

The client

Breathe Technologies provides warehouse automation and its BreatheIQ platform to some of the UK’s best-known retailers and logistics operators.

The challenge

Buyers of warehouse technology want proof, not promises. Breathe needed films showing its systems working in real customer sites, with the customers explaining the difference it made, filmed inside live warehouses.

What we did

  • Filmed customer case studies on site, including Specsavers and Mountain Warehouse.
  • Produced case study films for GXO and Roman, later updated with Breathe’s new branding and an animated logo.
  • Interviewed customers on camera and put them at ease, so they came across as natural and confident.

The result

The films have significantly boosted Breathe’s online engagement, and their own customers have shared them too.

“We’ve worked with Chocolate Cake Media over the past year to produce several case study videos, and the results have been excellent. Their production quality, technical expertise, and ability to get the best from interviewees make a real difference; everyone comes across as relaxed, natural, and positive, really bringing the case study to life. Video is a key part of our marketing, and their work has significantly boosted our online engagement. It has also been shared by our clients thanks to the quality of the finished pieces.”

Hear it from the people we work with.

Their projects. Their experience. In their own words.

“I have worked with Scott Benzie for close to 18 years, and in that time the quality, flexibility and responsiveness of Scott and his team have never wavered. We have partnered with Chocolate Cake on a wide range of projects, and they consistently bring the same breadth of skill, adaptability and expertise, always delivering work of the highest standard. I could not recommend them more highly.”

They understood exactly what we needed, and they even suggested that we have headshots taken for our attendees, which turned out to be game changing for our event. I believe the sign of a great AV team is when you don’t even realise they’re there, and that is exactly what Scott and his team were like. We’ll definitely be hiring you and Chocolate Cake Media again soon.”
