The Hub has its own YouTube channel where film will be uploaded on a regular basis. Video will be used on the Hub's website as well as relevant third-party websites to provide interesting, rich media. Video will also be used as part of presentations and for relevant events, so a video library will be created to cover the myriad services that the Hub provides.

• A short film from a Hub event per month
• Films promoting the Hub's services, expertise and benefits to businesses, using live or motion graphic style formats
However no guarantees are given to level of work commissioned or to the frequency of the requirement.
