how it works

The whole process is managed by Gail so you only have one point of contact who will take you through the filmmaking process from start to finish. This includes working with your senior leadership teams and marketing and PR departments to listen and understand what you want to get across.

Having been a news and current affairs BBC and ITV reporter, you can be assured Gail and her colleagues understand how your organisation will be perceived by the public and how reputation is everything.

That’s why we also provide media training and crisis communications training and work with CEOs and senior leaders across a range of public and private sector organisations from pharmaceutical, animal health, NHS and government organisations in the UK and overseas.
