Colada Creative in short

Colada Creative is a Telford content agency shooting photography alongside video, live events and social work from Stafford Park. The site states content creation going back to 2011, names brand clients across its portfolio, and sits behind the limited company COLADA GROUP LTD, active since 2018. This is a business-to-business outfit rather than a family studio. Enquiries run through phone, email and a contact form on the site.

Customer reviews are five stars across 85 Google ratings. Our opinion: Colada Creative suits brands needing commercial photography and video from an agency team set up for multi-day briefs. The trade-off is bespoke pricing, with no rates published, so the written quote matters most. Household buyers will find no family packages or session prices aimed at them.
