Why stories matter
Stories are the beating heart of purpose-driven organisations. When diverse stories are captured and told with authenticity and accessibility, they reach a wider audience, connect on an emotional level, stand out in a crowded market and drive social change.
The story
superpower
My journey began behind the video camera lens over 20 years ago. Whilst my peers focussed on filming equipment and formats, I realised that the secret to effective content was making my contributors feel seen, heard and safe. Only then would they tell their stories with vulnerability and authenticity. As a result, audience engagement increased.
As a story producer, I have a natural ability to put people at ease and a genuine interest to learn more, but creating effective content takes more than that. It’s an approach that runs through the entire journey…
The Story Stuudio approach
Compassion
A trauma-informed approach lies at the heart of my work. It’s an intentional process of careful research and rapport building. Informed consent and safeguarding are of utmost importance, especially with vulnerable contributors.
By creating a safe space and listening to understand, I uncover those raw, authentic moments that resonate with the human experience.
Inclusivity
Inclusivity isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a mindset.
I co-create content with the people it serves. From inception to delivery, I consult with contributors, audiences, team members and stakeholders to ensure their voices shape the narrative. It helps audiences feel represented and as a result, more deeply connected to your cause.
Accessibility
Disability is created when content is designed for one set of people and ignores others, so accessible stories increase reach and enhance the experience for everyone. That could mean subtitling for the hearing-impaired, translations for local communities, sign language versions, video transcriptions for screen readers, audio descriptions or thoughtful font choices. When everyone can engage, the impact multiplies.
Conscious content creation
Once we've formulated your story, let’s co-create content will work best for the audiences you want to reach. It might be just one type or a combination. My team and I are have content creation expertise ranging from video production through e-learning courses, podcasting, written content and photography to smartphone filmmaking workshops for you and your team.
