Learn to tell your story brilliantly. We run training courses in smartphone filmmaking and photography, interview skills, writing, how to plan ethical storytelling, and more.
Collaboration and co-creation is our passion. With words, photos and film we help you and your communities create inspiring stories that bring your work and messages to life.
Whether you are a seasoned storytelling organisation or just starting out, we can help you review your current activities and develop the best strategy for your story gathering.
We have transformed the brand photography for Royal Trinity Hospice, and made a film that helped them raise a record-breaking amount. In the film opposite you can hear Polly Balsom talking about why they invest in photography and film, and what it is like to work with us. To read about more of our work, click the button below.
“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.”
Phil Marley
Voices 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.”
Neil Phillips
Marketing & Communications
“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 were exceptionally supportive and accommodating. Despite the complexity of our project, they made the process appear effortless. They produced authentic and powerful films, written stories, and pictures of people affected by Multiple Sclerosis that communicate complex healthcare challenges in a clear and engaging way. There was a huge range of images too!”
Abdelfatah Ibrahim
Head of Communications, Campaigns and Advocacy
“We’ve worked with Ben for a few years now and he really is the best. He makes everything look easy, no matter what we throw at him or how packed the schedule is. Whether he’s taking photos of patients, staff members or volunteers, he puts everyone at ease and never makes you feel rushed, he’s a true professional. Our website and communications wouldn’t look half as good if we didn’t have Ben’s photos.”
Rachel Lesbirel
Digital Marketing and Communications 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.”
