Developing better ideas through collaboration

Creative partnership

We work closely with the people who know the subject best, combining their insight with our craft to develop work that feels real, relevant and worth engaging with.

We look for the situations people recognise, because change doesn’t happen through explanation alone. It happens when someone sees themselves in a moment and begins to ask, "What would I do?"

That might be an organisation introducing change and needing people to make sense of it. A team rethinking how they work together. Or a cultural or educational institution looking for ways to bring an idea, story or subject to life.

Those recognisable moments give the work its starting point. From there, we create films, workshops, learning programmes and practical tools that open up conversation and help people move forward.

Case study:

Understanding patient experiences

A healthcare organisation wanted to help people understand the human impact of decisions made during cancer treatment. Using real testimony, we created a fictional patient story that followed one person through diagnosis, treatment and recovery.

The result was a narrated animation that made a complex experience personal and easier to discuss. Audiences were able to reflect on how communication, support and treatment decisions can change a patient’s experience.

Case study:

A more human welcome

An L&D team needed onboarding materials to welcome new starters into a diverse workplace. Instead of tired corporate imagery, we developed a tactile visual world of paper characters in workplace and everyday situations.

The work balanced playfulness and credibility, giving the learning materials a distinctive, memorable style that helped new starters connect with the organisation from day one.

Inviting pupils into history

The National Archives wanted pupils to understand the Windrush story as more than a distant historical event. Using archive sources, we helped bring pupils closer to the people, choices and consequences behind it.

The result was an engaging and award-winning film that encouraged pupils to ask questions, recognise lived experience and discuss why this history still matters.
