“With the support and expertise of Mile 91, CottonConnect’s confidence in storytelling has gone from strength to strength. Programme teams have been trained in smartphone filming making and photography which mean we are now capturing authentic stories from the field. As a result, we have a collection of films that support our impact reporting and stakeholder engagement work, plus a growing library of photography.”
Alison Ward
Chief Executive
“As well as meeting the key requirements of our brief, delivering a detailed story audit and helping us to identify content gaps, Catherine and Sarah provided a wealth of thoughtful analysis to help us reflect on our approach to storytelling. As a result of the project, we have data, insights and recommendations that we refer to regularly, and these are continuing to shape our approach.”
Rachel Crews
Communications Manager
“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
“We worked with Mile 91 to produce films for Refugee Week. They bring a wonderful balance of efficiency and professionalism, with warmth and sensitivity to their work. Their communication from start to finish was excellent as they walked us, and our church communities, through the film making process. We are delighted with the resulting films.”
Pattie Gercke
Compassionate Communities Development Worker: Refugee & Homeless
“Mile 91 is always great to work with, they take charge of the planning process with internal stakeholders which helps out with workload of our marketing team. They really research what the service is, what the aims and outcomes are and can always flex to meet our needs as a client. They are diligent and organised when it comes to the shoot days and with the vast experience they have within the charity sector, they will adapt as needed.”
Sam Mashhadi
Marketing Manager
“It feels very special working with Mile 91. From the outset, it felt like an extension of the team. I haven’t worked with another agency who feel this engaged, warm and personable. I don’t think anyone matches their expertise or their culture of storytelling. We’ve shifted into a space at Mind where storytelling is front and centre of what we do – and engagement with our content, donations and campaign sign-ups have increased because of it. Mile 91 have been instrumental in this.”
