Here is what people have to say about working with Mile 91.
“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
“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
“I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for the training session conducted recently. It was informative, highly engaging and certainly perspective changing. I found the content to be not only relevant but also extremely advantageous for the TraceBale course ahead. Delighted to be a part of it.”
Jagadish Chandra Porichha
SENIOR DIRECTOR-PROGRAM OPERATIONS
“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
“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
“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
“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
“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
“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
“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 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
“Mile 91 are a joy to work with, turning over projects with speed and huge amounts of talent. They've provided smartphone filmmaking training sessions for our staff, been an indispensable font of knowledge and resource, created tear-jerking videos for our internal events and written beautiful stories about our volunteers.”
Daisy Goodison
Senior Internal Communications Officer
“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
“Catherine really helped us to understand the scope of what was possible within our budget and went above and beyond to ensure the way that shoot days were scheduled would ensure good value for us. The photographs we received are beautiful and perfectly fit the brief, even though I felt like we, as the client, were particularly hands-off. Many thanks!”
Jordan Vu-Abouzeid
Content Associate
“Mile 91 have done a fantastic job of filming and piecing together another cover video for our website, making the most of the summer season. Ben's patience and great eye for detail were appreciated during his time with us at the Pear Tree Inn. As well as our new storytelling website video, Mile 91 have also captured a set of shots, showcasing our 17th century Inn.”
Jackie Cosens
Owner
“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.”
