About Ground Up Media (GUM)
Ground Up Media (GUM) is a boutique online video production and distribution company, creating and distributing video content of all genres, specifically for digital platforms. GUM builds new digital video concepts, targeting mass niche audiences from the “ground up”.
What do we do?
GUM offers end to end bespoke video services ranging across strategy and concept development, video production, post production and encoding, distribution and seeding to third party platforms, cutting edge web TV and video player technology; and commercialisation through sponsorship and advertising.
GUM’s services help you expand, strategize and target your business digitally. GUM can help you to better understand the context within which your brand or video content will work, how you should use it, and how it makes money; whilst helping you create content and properties that you own.
GUM brings decades of broadcast experience and production values to digital projects.
Digital content and your brand
We believe that brands need to take new revenue opportunities across all distribution platforms if they want to grow. They’ll need intelligent and flexible advice to get the best out of confusing (and often competing) new technologies in order to use it to their advantage.
