“It feels very special working with Mile 91. From the outset, it felt like an extension of the team. I haven’t worked with another agency who feel this engaged, warm and personable. I don’t think anyone matches their expertise or their culture of storytelling. We’ve shifted into a space at Mind where storytelling is front and centre of what we do – and engagement with our content, donations and campaign sign-ups have increased because of it. Mile 91 have been instrumental in this.”
Phil Marley
Voices Manager
“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
“Mile 91 delivered a hugely engaging, and fun training course, packed with information, practical knowledge and hands-on experience. We would never have believed we could produce such professional looking, and sounding films on our phones during a one-day course. Everyone finished the day with a real sense of achievement.”
Neil Phillips
Marketing & Communications
“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
“With the support and expertise of Mile 91, CottonConnect’s confidence in storytelling has gone from strength to strength. Programme teams have been trained in smartphone filming making and photography which mean we are now capturing authentic stories from the field. As a result, we have a collection of films that support our impact reporting and stakeholder engagement work, plus a growing library of photography.”
Alison Ward
Chief Executive
“We worked with Mile 91 to produce films for Refugee Week. They bring a wonderful balance of efficiency and professionalism, with warmth and sensitivity to their work. Their communication from start to finish was excellent as they walked us, and our church communities, through the film making process. We are delighted with the resulting films.”
