Led by an engineer.
Built by specialists.
A marketing and media studio for defence, maritime, engineering and technology businesses. One lead, a team of specialists, and a brief you only give once.
signatory
Specialists, not generalists
Most agencies send the same in-house team to every job. Here’s what that costs you, and what changes when a specialist does each part.
Technical buyers notice generic footage, the wrong terminology and a website written for nobody in particular. Each of those costs you enquiries.
You brief a lead who knows your industry.
A generalist agency
The same in-house team on every job
50DEGREES
The right specialist for each part
Every project has one lead and is delivered by people who do that one job every day.
Every specialist works to the same standards and confidentiality terms on every job. You get one brief, one contact and one invoice, and the right people do the work.

Jack
Leads every project and is your one point of contact, from the first call to sign-off.

Ben
Shoots and edits the films, interviews and event coverage on our projects, with a cinematographer’s eye for light and detail.

Rupert
Turns contract wins, product launches and milestones into coverage in the publications your buyers read.

Lowell
Builds the 3D models and animations on our projects, from underwater vehicles and missile systems to satellites in orbit.
Why a naval engineer runs a marketing studio
Jack Abbiss spent eight years as a Royal Navy Marine Engineer Officer before founding 50DEGREES. He holds a technical degree, so specifications, trials and procurement routes are familiar ground rather than something to learn on your budget.
That background is why we work only with defence, maritime, engineering and technology businesses. Too often, strong engineering is let down by how it is presented: capability buried in a PDF, a trade show stand that says nothing, or a website written for nobody in particular. We exist to fix that.
Results
What the team delivers
Results from recent projects for maritime, defence, engineering and technology clients. Every result below comes from a case study you can read in full.
The people behind them are the team above: one lead, the right specialists, one brief.
You brief us once
Tell us what you need, who you’re selling to and when. You won’t have to repeat yourself to anyone.
The right people on each part
Film, PR, search, web and 3D each go to the specialist who does that work every day. You pay for the expertise the job needs, nothing more.
Delivered and signed off
Every piece is checked against your brief before it reaches you, and you keep one point of contact from start to finish.

What we hold ourselves to
These apply to everyone who works on a 50DEGREES project.
Integrity
We say what we can deliver, then deliver it. If something falls outside what we do well, we will say so and point you to someone who can.
Precision
Technical audiences notice mistakes. We check the detail, use the right terms and get sign-off from the people who know the kit.
Discretion
Much of our clients’ work is sensitive. We handle material, sites and information with the same care you do.
