I originally wrote this as a guest blog for the lovely people at Marketing Stockport, but I’m posting it here as well as I think it’s required reading for anyone working in marketing or communications who might need to upload video content from time to time. The golden rule is to take your time. Don’t […]
We LOVE it! Literally had goosebumps watching it, it’s awesome. WAGGGS, AKA the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, has been a client of ours since the height of lockdown in early 2021.

My first month at Studio 91
I can’t believe I’ve been part of the Studio 91 team for a whole month. It seems like yesterday I was applying, interview prepping and nervously ringing the office doorbell.

Before I get into the nitty gritty of producing video without sound, let me make something abundantly clear. I LIKE AUDIO. I’m a sucker for a good podcast. I have a degree in music. I took a module in sound design as part of that degree. Oh thank you for asking, I got a first. […]
It was a privilege to be a part of the Ripples of Hope Festival 2021, a mind-blowing event that explored human rights from every angle over five busy days. This annual gathering takes place at Home in Manchester but is hosted by Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights. The stellar line-up of speakers included Hillary Clinton […]
