BearJam, an independent video production company known for setting creative benchmarks, has been shortlisted in several categories at the prestigious 2026 Lens Awards.
James Hilditch, Founder and Creative Director at BearJam, says, “We’re genuinely thrilled to be shortlisted for the 2026 Lens Awards. We’ve always believed great corporate video should feel anything but corporate; it should be bold, beautifully made, and actually worth people’s time. It’s especially exciting to see our AI-led work recognised. We’re big believers that AI should enhance creativity, not replace it, and that it’s at its best when it helps teams move faster while keeping the quality bar high. To be shortlisted across such diverse categories is a real credit to the team, and to clients who trust us to push things a bit.”
The nominations highlight BearJam’s technical range and creative versatility across several client projects.

The Lens Awards are regarded as a leading industry event, celebrating organisations that use film and video as a core part of their communication strategies.
Judging will be carried out by a panel of industry experts from across the creative sector, who will determine which entrants are shaping the future of video communications.
Award winners will receive significant recognition, while also benefiting from improved placement in the Evcom UK Top 50 rankings, a factor that can rapidly enhance a company’s reputation.
Following last year’s success, the BearJam team are hopeful for further wins and are looking forward to celebrating the achievements of those who continue to elevate corporate video storytelling.
The winners will be revealed at the Lens Awards ceremony on 12 February 2026 at The Brewery, London.
