About

Films that sell the idea. Systems that keep it moving.

I’m Jonathan Forse: a video editor, campaign maker, and builder based in Southampton. I care about work you would actually show off: the cut, the idea, and whether it performs once it leaves the timeline.

At Giraffe360 I joined as a content creator and was promoted to Head of Video. For just under three years I made the films around the product: brand campaigns, customer stories, product education, and launch packages.

Before that, as Marketing Specialist at Zero Latency VR Abu Dhabi, I helped launch the free-roam VR arena. I built the website and produced the hype film and booking explainer, both with my voice on the mic.

In 2021 I founded Forse Media, a Southampton studio for social-first films and animations. Nightlife, property, music, events. The rule still stands: relevant, authentic, based on a strong idea. I still cut it myself.

The other half is product and AI work: sites, tracking, and systems that help businesses move. That includes Music Library Tools. I was brought in for digital ads, then revamped musiclibrarytools.co.uk, built landing pages, and wired Analytics, Tag Manager, and Meta Business so the funnel could be measured end to end.

How a piece of work is framed

Pain points

What was actually in the way: for the customer, the brand, or the team.

02

Solution

The product, the studio, or the system. Named clearly, without a spec dump.

03

Campaign

The film and the cuts. How the idea was made to live on every channel.

04

Results

What it did once it shipped. Proof over atmosphere.
