“Working with Ruth and her team transformed my organisation’s ability to get our messaging clear. Ruth really listened to us and grasped the nuance which is so vital to our approach and our working relationships with statutory partners. Ruth was able to reflect back to us a depth of understanding which gave us the confidence in her ability to capture the essence of our work which was evidenced by the production of a short film, Jogging with Jody. Additionally, the whole production and promotion of the film was expertly organised and coordinated, pulling together a wide range of people and navigating the conflicting schedules of the different stakeholders. The end result was an effortless and natural experience for all involved.
Jogging with Jody quickly became a core part of our promotional and training content. The film has been utilised to support the training of over 1,500 volunteers and staff with the key themes of the film reinforcing essential learning points for our teams. The feedback we have received confirms the visualisation of the concepts we discuss in training really supports people to grasp the role and our approach to supporting people.
In addition to the vital asset the film has become, Ruth provided us with a platform to showcase the film by organising a launch event and Q & A session with senior academics and industry experts. Her ability to attract a wide audience and organise a high-profile event was particularly impressive.
Ruth was both engaging and natural in her public speaking at the launch and her deep knowledge and insights equipped her to field the numerous questions and comments from the audience members. It was a special moment in the journey of my organisation and the memory of the experience is deeply embedded in all who were involved. Thanks to Ruth we felt heard and thanks to the film she produced, we have been seen.”
