ABOUT DROP FORGE
A Sheffield content studio built for businesses that want to show up properly.
Sheffield has always known how to make things.
For centuries this city shaped raw metal into objects that lasted. Steel that held bridges together. Cutlery that sat on tables across the world. Tools that built other things. The work was skilled, deliberate, and built on heat, pressure, and precision. You did not rush it. You forged it.
Drop Forge Creative works the same way.
We are a Sheffield content studio built for businesses that want to show up properly. Not polished to the point of feeling fake. Not rushed out on a phone in a back office. Properly made. Shot with care, delivered with intention, and designed to do real work in the world.
The studio sits inside Wholehearted Studios in Sheffield, a space that has been built from the ground up for creative work. It is where family photographers, filmmakers, podcast producers, and business owners come to make something they are proud of. That energy is in the walls.
Our background is in professional audio and film production. We have worked on sets where getting the sound wrong means a whole day is wasted. That attention to detail does not switch off when the client is a local estate agent rather than a BBC production. You still show up. You still get it right.
We work alongside Stuff Podcasts, a podcast production partner who handles individual creators, charities, and personal projects, and alongside Wholehearted Photography, who have been capturing families and newborns from this same space for years. Three separate things with their own clients and their own direction. But the same standard of work and the same belief that what you make should be worth making.
Built by someone who has done it, not just filmed it.
Matt has spent the last 15 years as a freelance sound recordist, working on everything from BBC productions and major brand shoots to small business case studies and charity films. That career gave him a front-row seat to how the best content gets made, and an obsession with getting the details right.
But the production skills are only half the story. Alongside that work, Matt has built multiple brands from nothing to six figures of income. Not by following a playbook or outsourcing everything, but by doing the work: finding the audience, testing what resonates, showing up consistently, and learning what actually moves the needle when you are building something from scratch.
That combination is rare. Most content agencies know how to make things look good but have never had to build a business themselves. Most business coaches know the theory but have never sat behind a camera or mixed a podcast. Matt has done both, and that is what makes Drop Forge different.
When you work with us, you are working with someone who genuinely understands the journey you are on. The overwhelm of knowing you need to show up online but not knowing where to start. The frustration of creating content that goes nowhere. The mental load of trying to do everything yourself while running a business.
The best use of your time is not learning how to edit videos or chase algorithms. It is having someone in your corner who can take that weight off your shoulders, give you a clear plan that actually makes sense, and then execute it with you, month after month. That is what we do.
Sheffield does not do half measures. Neither do we.
If you are a Sheffield business that wants content that actually works, a social presence that reflects how good you really are, or a regular production setup that takes the whole thing off your plate, this is the place.
Come in. Let us make something.
