We’re bringing back the Social Media Exchange – and this time its Express! What does that mean? Well its a different approach to your average conference or training event. Over the course of a day you’ll have the chance to learn from dozens of different subjects in 1 hour chunks.
East Midlands look out – MuBu is on the way. We’ve just finished training a fantastic group of museum staff from a range of museums who are taking their first steps into the world of digital media. From creating audio tours and short films to multi-media social history archives: this group are now armed with the skills to capture the memories and amazing stories from people in the region.
sounddelivery has worked with several museums, including the Museum of London and National Portrait Gallery, to deliver digital media projects to engage new audiences. We were commissioned by the Museum of Croydon to work with young people to produce audio podcasts based on exhibits in the museum. Here Hanna compares a WWII dog tag to her school exam number:

The nominations are out for this year’s Sony Awards – the audio equivalent of the Oscars and its great to see UK charities up there with the likes of the BBC and commercial radio giants. Great Ormond Street Hospital and the Prison Radio Association have been listed for their community programming, and a sounddelivery favourite – the Hackney Podcast – has been nominated in the Best Internet Programme Category.
“Voluntary sector”, “charity”, “civil society”, “social action”, “social enterprise”. How should we best describe the third sector? This is the subject of the first of a series of podcasts about the challenges facing not-for-profit organisations, produced by sounddelivery for societyguardian.
This month we are offering a host of training courses – from free Social Media taster days to fully immersive video production. So please get in touch to book your place and discuss your training needs.
We are now the proud winners of a Jodi Award for our project Podcasts from the Past : a joint project with the Museum of London, sounddelivery and VocalEyes. Our project, which won the Digital Access Online Award, involved a group of unemployed Londoners creating audio description podcasts for blind and partially sighted people for the Museum of London.
We’re putting the spotlight on how you can engage and most importantly retain corporate support for the work you do using multi-media content. This doesn’t just apply to traditional charities but also organisations including museums and the cultural and heritage sectors many of which now require corporate support.
