“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
“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 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 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
“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
“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.”
