Future employees.

“Education communications” sounds like one thing. In reality, all of those audiences can need something quite different from the same organisation.

A message that works for a board of trustees might mean very little to a parent choosing a school, while what interests a journalist might not be what attracts the next great teacher.

The message might start in the same place, but how you tell it, where you tell it and what you lead with depends on who needs to hear it in our experience.

The camera is the easy bit.

The difficult bit is knowing what to point it at.

Video has become a normal part of our communications work. Not because every client needs a film. They don’t.

But when the story depends on seeing a person, a place, a product working or an idea in action, film can do something words cannot.

We’ve filmed in schools, factories, businesses, charities, conferences, homes, construction environments and on Royal visits.

We script, interview, film, direct, record voiceovers and edit. But the first question is exactly the same one we ask before writing anything:

What is the story?

Script it.Film it.Interview people properly.Find the moments that matter.Edit out everything that doesn’t.Story first. C...

Script it.

Film it.

Interview people properly.

Find the moments that matter.

Edit out everything that doesn’t.

Story first. Camera second.

Although, we can’t take much credit for this one - the BBC’s data team did the filming, with an expert provided by our client. 📸

Specialist education this morning. Education strategy this afternoon.

Schools and trusts generate extraordinary stories, but education communications is about much more than finding something nice for the local paper.

Reputation. Recruitment. Growth. Parents. Staff. Commissioners. Policy. Difficult issues. Success that deserves to be understood.

It’s a sector where getting the words right matters and where knowing the sector matters even more.

Automotive PR is rarely really about cars or trucks.

It’s investment, jobs, apprenticeships, skills, technology, dealerships, customers, manufacturing, service and the people keeping the whole thing moving.

The motors are just the photogenic bit.

If the chief executive wouldn’t say it out loud, there is a fair chance they shouldn’t be quoted saying it in a press release.

There are exceptions. But not many.

There is a reason our newsletter is called Fluffless.

A racing driver, a wheelbarrow and a tyre-safety brief. Sounds like the start of a joke right?

Back in 2015, Sam Brabham helped us turn some fairly technical European tyre-safety information into something people could actually see.

Wheelbarrows. Tread gauges. A 20p coin. An indoor kart track.

A useful reminder we’ve carried with us ever since:
if the subject feels dry, don’t automatically blame the subject.

Sometimes it’s the way you’re telling it.

Office photography is all very well.

But if one of your offices is in Newcastle, it seems unreasonable not to occasionally point the camera outside.

A different view of one of our two home cities today.

This is one of our favourite films. The idea behind More Than We See was simple.

Don’t make a film explaining what people with disabilities can do.

Let them show you.

Communications gets better when the people at the centre of the story are actually allowed to be at the centre of the story.

Some organisations tell us they don’t have many stories.

They nearly always do.

They’ve just lived with them for so long that they’ve stopped noticing how unusual they are.

A good part of PR is learning enough about an organisation to spot the thing everybody inside it regards as normal.

Because very often it isn’t.
