Zebrafish Media

Zebrafish Media is a British independent production company specialising in commercials, music videos, branded content and narrative film. It operates from a single base at 13 Lansdown in Stroud, Gloucestershire, and presents itself as a deliberately lean, agile alternative to larger production houses with multiple offices and big permanent teams. The company describes its philosophy as one where scale can suffocate creative zeal, and it instead relies on a compact core team supported by a wide network of freelance affiliates to move quickly and cost-effectively across projects of any scope — from full-scale feature films to short promotional pieces. The company was founded by director Guy Davies, who as a child bought his first video camera with childhood friend James Norbury; that early filmmaking partnership evolved into the producer/director relationship at the heart of Zebrafish Media. James Norbury serves as Executive Producer, keeping the company running while Guy Davies directs. The official website highlights a portfolio spanning commercial work, music videos and film, with credits including projects for artists such as Emeli Sandé, Ella Henderson, Shinedown and DJ Craig Gorman, as well as branded work for clients such as Maeving. The company states it has worked with a broad roster of clients and describes itself as multi award-winning. Zebrafish Media positions itself on personal service, speed and commercial as well as creative experience. Its messaging emphasises a family-like, collaborative culture and a promise that every project will surpass expectations. While the company operates internationally and works with global music and brand clients, it remains a privately held, independent business with no public listing. Its primary contact channels are email and phone, and its address in Stroud serves as its registered base of operations.

Zebrafish Media was founded by director Guy Davies, whose filmmaking journey began in childhood when he and friend James Norbury bought their first video camera together and started filming comedy skits. Although those early films were never released, the experience forged a producer/director partnership that would later become the foundation of the company. James Norbury went on to study law but remained involved in production, eventually becoming Executive Producer at Zebrafish Media, where he manages the day-to-day running of the company. Guy Davies took the creative lead as founder and director. The company established itself as an independent production house based in Stroud, Gloucestershire, deliberately avoiding the multi-office, large-team model common among production companies. Instead, Zebrafish Media built its reputation on a lean structure, a network of affiliates, and a focus on both creative and commercial experience. Over time it accumulated a portfolio of work spanning commercials, music videos and film, and describes itself as multi award-winning. Its official website showcases projects with artists including Emeli Sandé, Ella Henderson, Shinedown and DJ Craig Gorman, as well as branded content such as work for Maeving. The company continues to operate as a privately held, independent business serving clients internationally from its UK base.
