Creating content for the YHA AGM we trained young people to record their own stories in video and audio. This technique gave us a valuable insight into the workings of YHA hostels and provided young people with a voice.
One of the 20th century society’s key campaigns has centred on Robin Hood Gardens – a council housing complex in Poplar, east London, designed in the late 1960s by architects Alison and Peter Smithson. Sounddelivery was asked to help promote the campaign to a wider audience and create an audio slideshow to profile the buildings’ merits and argument for protection.
sounddelivery was invited to an away-day at Kew Gardens to deliver a half day training session for the Top Management Group (TMG) at the Department for International Development. The workshop focussed on internal communications and ways of bringing stories to life.
sounddelivery created a series of vox pops with young people (16-25 year olds) about working, learning, training and finance for the new website www.lifetracks.com
To mark the 40th anniversary of the Parkinson’s Disease Society sounddelivery was commissioned to produce a series of audio features with leading researchers.
The Family Housing Association provides access to holidays to disadvantaged families and raises awareness about the value of holidays – and first hand accounts of their work is a vital part of their communications strategy. We’ve undertaken a number of projects for the charity and continue to work closely with them on an ongoing basis.
sounddelivery has built a strong relationship with the Blue Cross after being commissioned to work on a number of multimedia projects. We’ve created podcasts, films and audio content that engages existing and potential supporters, journalists and volunteers.
YHA programmes and activities provide opportunities for disadvantaged young people to broaden their horizons and explore the wider world. The work we’ve done with the organisation is varied and includes two films, an audio slideshow, a series of audio features highlighting the Breaks4Kids fund, a regional radio campaign to raise awareness around the School Trips initiative and podcast training for staff.
Having reported from several previous NCVO conferences, NCVO commissioned us to record interviews and voxpops at their annual conference in February 2009. Our reporters conducted short interviews with the main speakers and put questions to delegates on a number of topical issues. We then worked alongside a photographer to create an audio slideshow that provides a lasting legacy for the conference and a useful marketing tool for the organisation.
sounddelivery has run bespoke in-house podcasting workshops for a wide range of organisations. The hands-on workshops offer participants a practical guide to understanding, developing and producing audio content. Our aim is to help organisations explore how audio content and podcasts can bring value to their work – and give them the skills, knowledge and confidence to put their ideas into practice.
