Bristol-based production company JonesMillbank helped Vivobarefoot launch their AW26 product range to key partners and global distributors.

The B2B campaign saw product films shot in their own studio, Nine Tree Studios, alongside interviews with product owners on location at Vivobarefoot’s headquarters at Barley Wood, Bristol.

JonesMillbank were also commissioned to produce Vivobarefoot’s in-person launch event, reflecting the seasonal campaign, including a conference presentation and workshops.

“There’s certain brands we’ve wanted to partner with for a long time, and Vivobarefoot is one of them” said Russell Jones, Director at JonesMillbank.

“Their ethos, approach to sustainability, and local roots make it a mutually perfect fit. Having our own studio and an ever-expanding ecommerce portfolio with the likes of Dyson, Pukka, Vax and Nestle has given us the facilities and experience to elevate their brand and launch event even further” he added.

“We are extremely proud of the new collection, and it was important to work with a production company that could highlight the styles and ignite the new season’s stories. The JonesMillbank team have been exceptional for that very reason from pitch to delivery. Their clarity and effectiveness in navigating a complex multi-party launch have been critical to the success of our project”

Vivobarefoot launched their AW26 range to distributors in November before releasing styles to the public in September 2026.

Bristol-based production company JonesMillbank have continued working with Freixenet Copestick to launch the first national TV campaign for an English wine.

The campaign is also the maiden TV spot for Bolney Wine Estate, the pioneering Sussex vineyard renowned for crafting award-winning sparkling and still English wines for more than five decades.

The debut marks a significant step in the winery’s ongoing brand-building strategy, designed to raise national awareness of its premium English wines during the key festive trading period.

With a focus on celebrating the season through moments to be savoured, the campaign takes viewers on a sensory journey through Bolney’s winemaking process. It showcases the experience of opening a bottle to share with friends and family whilst transporting audiences to the vineyard, offering an insight into the craft behind Bolney’s award-winning wines.

Samantha Cross, Marketing Controller at Bolney Wine Estate explained that “this is a significant milestone in Bolney’s growth strategy. Our focus remains on strengthening consumer awareness of why Bolney has been a leader in English wine production for over 50 years, whilst reinforcing our position in a competitive market.”

The ad was created by Bristol-based production company JonesMillbank. Co-founder Adam Millbank added that “it’s been a joy collaborating with Bolney on this campaign. From a production perspective, bringing the distinctive character of their wines to life on screen through both performance and craft was a truly rewarding experience.”

The ad debuted on Monday 24th November running on ITV, C4 and Sky, and supported by Video on Demand (VOD).

Bristol-based period care brand Grace & Green has launched a new TV campaign highlighting the lack of workplace period products in their spot, ‘Caught Short’.

Collaborating with JonesMillbank, Bristol-based B-Corp video production company, the ad was created after Grace & Green was named as Sky’s Local Heroes winner for the South West, securing funded media support through the Sky Zero Footprint Fund.

“This campaign is about making sure every employee can manage their periods at work without stress or stigma, and placing Grace & Green as the go-to period brand for businesses that care about their employees,” said Fran Lucraft, Founder and CEO of Grace & Green.

“Access to period products should be a right, not a privilege. We are so excited to see our brand on the small screen! Being a Bristol-based business, it’s incredible to see our work recognised locally and shared nationally.”

Abbie Howes, rostered director at JonesMillbank, added: “Getting caught short at work is a stress far too many women have endured, so it was really important to get that relatability across – whilst using light humour to highlight how ridiculous it is that it’s still not the norm for workplaces to supply period products.”

“Understandably if you’ve never been in the situation yourself it may never have crossed your mind, so we didn’t want this to feel judgmental or lecturing, but rather an issue that’s very easy to fix.”

The campaign is running across the Sky network throughout September alongside digital. For more information visit www.graceandgreen.co and www.jonesmillbank.com.

Nine Tree Studios, Bristol’s biggest independent studio, has launched a WhatsApp Community to give back to local filmmakers, photographers, creatives, and production companies.

Primarily it’s a free loyalty programme offering studio discounts and freebies, including:

There’s also groups for advice and jobs, and private channels for production companies and studios to collaborate and share advice.

“We’ve always wanted our space to be able to support Bristol’s creative community” said Russell Jones, Co-Founder of Nine Tree Studios.

“Nowadays email newsletters feel old and clunky and aren’t really suited to what we wanted, like offering free studio hire to those who need it, and promoting and discussing events.”

“By virtue of having members we also hope it’ll be a space for freelancers, screen professionals, studios and production companies to share advice, post jobs, collaborate, and generally chit-chat.”

You can join the community at  https://chat.whatsapp.com/D64qZ5CmnxCASYEevxDFEV and visit https://www.ninetreestudios.co.uk/community for more information and terms.

Nine Tree Studios is Bristol’s largest independent studio.

Suitable for set builds, commercial productions, photography and HETV, the space features two main studios – a 4,640sq ft soundstage and a 567sq ft infinity cove – plus a podcast suite, green rooms, production offices and a 9,000sq ft backlot.

Birch, Bristol’s newest podcast studio, has opened at Nine Tree Studios in Brislington.

Designed with both “audio and video first”, the space offers high quality audio recording in a comfortable suite that’s designed for film.

“When we opened Nine Tree Studios, supporting the local creative industries was at the heart of everything” said Russell, Co-Founder of Nine Tree Studios.

“We have a huge amount of versatile space, and we want it to be useful, accessible and affordable – not just sit there empty. Bristol doesn’t have a huge amount of podcast suites, with some professionals even travelling to London just to record.”

“With our space we hope to welcome and support a variety of creatives, content producers, influencers and hobbyists alike.”

With full-RGB lighting and space for branding, the studio is perfect for both guest and episodic podcast recording.

Birch also has access to Nine Tree Studios’ other facilities, including ample parking, green rooms for hair and makeup, and a large kitchen breakout space.

The studio can be hired from the hour for just audio recording or including video, with various options to suit beginners and professionals alike.

Nine Tree Studios is Bristol’s biggest independent studio. Located just outside the centre of Bristol there’s parking for over 30 vehicles with easy access to Bristol, Bath and the M4.

Nine Tree Studios in Bristol celebrated their opening earlier this month with an event that saw over 150 attendees from across the creative sector.

The 10,000sq ft facility includes two soundstages for film and photography plus a podcast suite, office space, green rooms and a fully-equipped kitchen studio.

Backed by Bristol-based commercial production company JonesMillbank, the studios have been designed to support both small-scale and broadcast-level productions.

“This has been a long road, but it was amazing to see so many new and old faces, all coming together to support and celebrate our launch.” said Russell Jones, Co-Founder of Nine Tree Studios.

Located in Brislington (BS4), the studios are perched near the centre of Bristol allowing them to service productions mixing studio and on-location filming, aided by its 8,900sq ft secure yard for trucks and trailers.

The studios are now Bristol’s largest independent studio, joining a raft of creative spaces throughout the city including neighbouring virtual production stage Distortion Studios and the established Bottle Yard Studios.

“Like restaurants on a high street, the more there are, the better they are, the more their reputation builds. We’re proud of everything Bristol has to offer and stands for, and the more facilities, talent, crew and creative companies that are based here only goes to benefit the region as a whole” Russell continued.
