Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
About Us
Willow Red Media was established with the idea that a group of individuals, each boasting a wealth of experience—from broadcast television and short film to social media productions and live streaming—could come together within one company.
Our aim is to produce high-quality content through both photography and film while simultaneously bringing a positive and fun ethos to all our work. Whether you’re a large company wanting to work on an ad or an individual keen to develop their YouTube Channel, we can provide everything—and everyone—you need to take your project from start to finish. And who knows? Perhaps we can share a laugh over a Twix and a flat white along the way.

Azim is the heart and soul of our operation, boasting a vibrant 15-year journey through the dynamic realms of live broadcast and post-production. As a seasoned director in live TV, Azim has left his creative mark with major broadcasters, working on high profile events including the Paris Olympics 2024. Beyond that with his venture into videography and livestream he has worked with clients such as the Silver Spoon Company, SEGA and Google.
Colleagues often quip that Azim can strike a friendship with anyone, anywhere - a testament to his personable nature. With Azim, it’s all about people — fuelling the heart of the company with infectious enthusiasm and perhaps, quite frequently, a round of tea and biscuits.
At the core, Azim is more than our Founder; he weaves a community, binding the threads of skill, dedication, and a shared love for storytelling into the fabric of Willow Red Media.

Andy Smith
THE TECH MANAGER
Andy is our Super Tech Manager, the heartbeat of our technical prowess. From the moment he stepped into the industry, a young Andy’s path intertwined with Azim’s, leading to a lasting friendship and professional partnership.
With over a decade of experience, Andy’s expertise covers a broad spectrum, from installing lighting rigs and crafting studio spaces to building galleries, he's able to develop setups for all thrown his way. You name the kit, Andy can install and wield it with the finesse of a Samurai with a katana.
Echoing Azim’s composure and enthusiasm, Andy’s approachable demeanour makes him a crew and clients dream to work with. Who wouldn’t want to work with the legend who proudly managed to eat so many all you can eat chicken wings that he was told by the restaurant that he’d had enough.
