“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
“Thank you Mile 91 for the recent smartphone filming course – it was honestly the most useful and fun workshop I’ve ever been to. I really enjoyed putting what we learnt in the morning in to practice, and felt a huge sense of achievement showing my short video at the end of the day. We all left feeling so excited and motivated to make some great videos for Marie Curie!”
Vicky Larkin
Social Media Manager
“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
“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
“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.”
