Steven Lloyd-Barlow
Co-Founder | Director of vidbuild
vidbuild is the brainchild of Film & Media Production Director, Steven Lloyd-Barlow. After a career in managing film and TV shoots on a large scale, Steven recognised the cost and budget constraints that small businesses face in video production. The cost and expertise required to develop media in-house, or the cost involved to outsource the work simply outpriced most small to medium sized enterprises. As video content is the number one performer in global marketing, SME’s were suffering hugely in being locked out of this game. Steven sought VC funding through now parent-company Car Cloud Ventures, and partnered successfully with some of the worlds largest stock video providers (Getty, iStock & Storyblocks). With 5 years of development work completed within six months, and beta launch in early 2018, vidbuild was born.
