Creative · Nottingham

Hi! I'm
Pete Jenkins.

I film, edit and shoot photos, mostly for social. Short-form, vertical, the kind of thing you actually want to watch. My current day job is at Age Care Bathrooms, where I shoot and edit all the video, handle all the photography, design the print media and write the website copy. I run a small in-house team of four, but spend most days hands-on with a camera or in Premiere Pro editing. Most of what I know I learned by doing. Outside of work I co-own a music school in Matlock and teach guitar. I shoot personal photography on long walks around Nottingham and the Peak District.

Social

Short-form vertical is where most of my work ends up now. Reels, TikTok, shorts. I shoot on a Sony A7 V or A6700 depending on the brief, cut in Premiere Pro and add motion in After Effects when it serves the piece. The goal is the same every time: make something worth not scrolling past.

Video

Brand films, TV ads, before-and-afters and customer testimonials. I helped shoot our Sky AdSmart and GB News spots, including a campaign with Brian Blessed. Switching between formats keeps it interesting and I'm always picking up new editing tricks, new lighting setups, new ways to make people stop and watch.

Photo

Photography started as a necessity. Age Care Bathrooms needed photos and I was the one to take them. I fell in love along the way. Now I shoot bathrooms by day and whatever catches my eye at the weekend: architecture, landscapes, slow walks with a camera around Nottingham and the Peak District. Same Sony A7 V, very different briefs.

Motion & Design

At Age Care Bathrooms I work across print and digital. Brochures, flyers, email campaigns, regional direct mail. I'm always thinking about how a piece will actually be read, held or handed over. Motion sits alongside that: captions, lower-thirds, the short animated bits that hold a social cut together.

Web

I taught myself web development out of necessity when the businesses I was running needed sites, and I never stopped. Somewhere along the way I picked up SEO properly, with a bit of PPC on the side, so the sites I built actually got found. These days it's WordPress when a team needs to maintain it themselves, Next.js when I want full control. Built this site, Age Care Maintenance with its custom AI quote estimator, Town & Country Merchants, and the World Music Day schools site.

Career

Work So Far

Full CV →

Most of what I know came from running my own businesses, where there was no one else to take the photos, cut the video, build the websites or do the design. By the time I joined Age Care Bathrooms I'd taught myself most of it the hard way.

  • 2023 – Now

    Age Care Bathrooms

    • Head of Marketing

      March 2024 - Present

      Lead a four-person in-house team across paid media, SEO, content and design, but spend most days hands-on filming & editing content. This includes short-form social cuts, before-and-afters, care home testimonials, brand films. I also helped film our TV adverts (Sky AdSmart and GB News, including a campaign with Brian Blessed). In terms of photography, I have experience shooting on location and in our in-house studio, which I set up from scratch - I chose the Sony kit, set up the studio & lighting, which defined the way we shoot. Alongside this, I design the brochures, flyers, email campaigns and build the websites. I also run paid media reporting across Google, Meta, Bing and Sky AdSmart, and own the HubSpot CRM setup.

      Freelance Marketing Creative

    The Musical Me & Lime Tree Music Centre

    • Co-Founder

      June 2020 - February 2023

      Co-founded and co-ran two music businesses. Across both, I built all the creatives. I shot the photography, ran the social channels, wrote and posted the content, designed the print resources for primary schools, and built and maintained the websites. At The Musical Me we launched World Music Day for primary schools across the UK, which meant shooting and editing video campaigns, running paid social, designing the schools' resource packs and managing the brand voice. At Lime Tree we built the local brand and social presence from scratch and I still teach guitar there every week alongside my day job.
