“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
“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
“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
“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
“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!”
