Glasgow: A City in Transition
Glasgow is undergoing a significant transitional period. While negative media reports often highlight economic challenges and urban issues, the city is also seeing a wave of new opportunities. A surge in hotel developments, innovative accommodation options, and a thriving restaurant scene are reshaping the city's landscape. These changes present a fresh canvas for businesses to attract visitors, investors, and locals alike. With transformation comes the need for compelling marketing strategies, and drone content offers an unparalleled way to showcase Glasgow’s evolving skyline and vibrant atmosphere.
We have worked with Invest Glasgow over the past few years to capture drone content across the city to support marketing campaigns and image-led storytelling to promote Glasgow’s investment opportunities. This was a proud moment for us and it opened our eyes to the amount of opportunity that's sitting on our door step.
Glasgow’s Iconic Locations from Above
Glasgow boasts a rich architectural and cultural heritage, making it an ideal city for breathtaking aerial shots. From the iconic Clyde Arc and the SSE Hydro to the historic University of Glasgow and the sprawling greenery of Glasgow Green, drone photography showcases the city in ways that captivate audiences. Businesses can use these striking visuals to enhance promotional materials, websites, and social media campaigns.
Case Studies: Drone Marketing Success in Glasgow
Many Glasgow-based businesses have already harnessed the power of drone photography to enhance their marketing efforts:
Tourism & Hospitality
We've worked with Radisson RED for over 2 years to share their unique hotel with the world. Not only do the drone shots show off the hotels epic location, they also show just how close the hotel is to major venues such as the OVO Hydro and Scottish Event Campus (SEC). Whether it's sunrise or sunset, this is definitely one of our favourite places to fly, it really is the beating heart of the city.
Events & Festivals
Organisers of music festivals, sports events, and community gatherings leverage drone footage to create dynamic promotional content. We've worked with Itison to capture their events from a different perspective for over 5 years. From Glasglow to Elfingrove and even the Drive In Movies, the drone content helps to show the size and scale of the events.
Corporate Branding
Companies incorporate drone visuals into promotional videos to highlight their facilities, services, and brand story. It also lets potential customers in the city see that the supplier is here and ready to support them with their needs.
We collaborated with CityCom to produce testimonial videos, and incorporating drone footage enhanced the narrative,
effectively demonstrating CityCom's
comprehensive coverage of the city.
How Brands Can Use Drone Content Effectively
To maximise the impact of drone content, businesses should consider the following strategies:
- Social Media Engagement
Aerial videos perform exceptionally well on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, where visually striking content drives higher engagement.

High-quality drone imagery on a company website increases credibility and visual appeal. Playing drone content front and centre on your home page helps to wow potential customers as soon as they land on your site.

Drone footage can be used in digital ads to create eye-catching visuals that capture audience attention.
- Storytelling & Brand Identity
Businesses can use aerial footage to tell compelling stories that resonate with their target audience.
