“I've commissioned Catherine and Ben to create purpose-driven films on three separate occasions and have enormous trust that they 'just get it'. With a well-scoped brief, they've worked as an extension to my team to create high quality films that tick all the boxes. Their expertise in storytelling is second to none and they're both a pleasure to work with. All credit to them - they've smashed it every time!”
Jess Dillon
Head of Communications and Marketing
“We thoroughly enjoyed our collaboration with Mile 91. Catherine and Ben emanate both professionalism and talent. They fully understood our brief and always acted on our requests but were also willing to give direction and draw on their own creativity. Their efficiency enabled us to quickly turn around a challenging project.”
Poppy Gill
Communications Officer
“I am so pleased we chose Mile 91. Planning before the shoot was really helpful – exploring our objectives for the day, discussing our location and how the day should run to ensure we got the most from the shoot. Ben was excellent. He was brilliant at making people feel at ease. We didn’t feel rushed and yet managed to get a huge range of images. Our photos are natural, warm and really reflect our work.”
Jenn Hall
Head of Fundraising
“Mile 91 are a highly professional team and great fun to work with! They brought energy, fresh perspectives, tight editing and a quick turn-around to the project and UKRI was delighted with the results. Their experience and knowledge of international development means they bring expertise and sensitivity to projects which really enhanced the final outcome.”
Tracey Jewitt
International Development Communications Lead
“We loved working with everyone Mile 91. They are so professional and skilled but equally very friendly, funny and easy to get along with. We’ve never taken on such a big storytelling project before and in some ways were really out of our depth but they made the process much more manageable!”
Emma Tucker
Marketing and Communications Manager
“Mile 91 delivered a hugely engaging, and fun training course, packed with information, practical knowledge and hands-on experience. We would never have believed we could produce such professional looking, and sounding films on our phones during a one-day course. Everyone finished the day with a real sense of achievement.”
