“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
“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
“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
“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
“Catherine was an uplifting and collaborative person to work with from the outset. As well as bringing her storytelling mastery to the conversation, she really listened to our specific organisational need and helped me to design an internal series of training courses that built capability and confidence in our frontline team.”
Chloe Smee
Senior Programme 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.”
