Sectors in Birmingham and the video that suits them
Who is based in Birmingham, and the video that fits each sector.
HSBC UK is headquartered in Birmingham.
Financial products are abstract, so Birmingham firms in banking tend to need 2D explainers that show how a product works, plus short compliance-checked cut-downs for LinkedIn. Suppliers and fintechs selling into banking in Birmingham need the same formats for their own buyers.
