The Rise Media team

2024 Year in Review

Some Rise team highlights from 2024…

2024 has been an incredible year of growth and transformation for Rise Media – expanding not only our client base but also our team, equipment, and what we’re able to do. It’s been a year of exciting change, bold investments, and creative energy. Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to.

Office Space: A New Home in Sutton

The biggest and most obvious milestone this year has been our move to Sutton. Relocating a company is no small feat (cue the chaos), but the result has been worth every moment.

Our new studio is brighter, bigger, and a perfect fit for our growing ambitions. We’ve invested in creating a space that inspires: from an upgraded post production workflow and office peripherals to custom carpentry for our massive wrap-around desk. We also threw the largest 4k OLED TV we could find on the wall. Being part of a new community has also been a refreshing change and one we’re really enjoying.

Kit Room: Our Best Setup Yet

The kit room has been completely overhauled, and we’re thrilled with the results. It now has ample racking space and a full workbench, while our new loading bay makes equipment prep and transport a breeze. This is hands down our most organised and efficient setup to date.

The Rise Van Gets a Makeover

Our trusty Rise van underwent a full custom fit-out this year, complete with bespoke woodwork tailored to our exact storage needs. Whether it’s cameras, lighting, or a drone or two, everything now has its place, making our shoots even more efficient.

Edit Suite & Post-Production Upgrades

We’ve made significant strides in our post-production workflow this year. Our shiny new server rack now houses Synology and QNAP systems, fully integrated and paired with a physical off-site backup for added security.

We also invested in a Mac Studio, dedicated to remote editing via Parsec. This setup enables our team to collaborate remotely during busy periods and makes working with freelancers seamless. With these upgrades, we’re well-equipped to tackle high volumes of post-production work with ease.

Passion Projects & Giving Back

At Rise Media, we believe in nurturing creativity and supporting our team’s ideas. This year, we launched an initiative encouraging team members to pitch their passion projects, with the best concepts receiving production support and funding.

One such project is Ray’s documentary about an artistic skater, which kicked off with an incredible first day of production in Wales. We can’t wait to see how it develops!

We’ve also continued our commitment to giving back by taking a team day out to assist a tree-planting project in Cambridge. It was a rewarding experience, and it felt great to physically make a positive environmental impact.

Looking Ahead

2024 was a year of growth, learning, and new beginnings. As we settle into our new home and continue to expand our capabilities, we’re excited to see what 2025 will bring. From passion projects to new client collaborations, we’re ready to take on the challenges and opportunities ahead. As well as finding more excuses to commission carpentry, of course.
Here’s to an amazing year, and an even better one to come!
