Westminster Digital was a British video production company[1] founded by Craig Dillon in 2017[2] which specialized in producing promotional sixty to ninety-second Facebook clips about local issues for Conservative Members of Parliament.[3][4][5] The company is said to have produced videos for most of the candidates in the 2019 Conservative Party leadership election[6][7][8] and for up to 50 MPs during the 2019 United Kingdom general election.[9]

The company was renamed WD International Holdings in February 2024, at which time Companies House reported both its accounts and confirmation statement as being overdue.[1] Concurrent with this, former Westminster Digital employee Jonah Wilder founded a new video production company with the same name.[10]
