media co-op

“When I think of everything we managed to achieve with our budget – we got such great value for money with your commitment and involvement.”

The films and infographics are brilliant. Other researchers at my Uni feel envious! They’re fun, engaging, high quality. When I look at them, I think about the process, and all the contributions from our co-producers with learning disabilities. They felt included, listened to, safe to speak freely, and fully part of the process. They enjoyed it when the creative team said “here’s what you told us, and here’s what we’ve done with it.”

The film exceeded all our expectations. One of our funders said it brought tears to her eyes.

The media co-op team are so passionate – fantastic from the start. They understood what we wanted to achieve better than we did !

Everyone who participated enjoyed being part of it.

Winning the Charity Film Award was icing on the cake.

I’d absolutely definitely recommend media co-op as a great organisation to work with. They weren’t just there to do a job – they have real passion and commitment. The film really captures people’s stories, hits all the points. It captures the essence of us.

The process with media co-op has just been brilliant. They spent hours helping us tease out the key messages – they were incredibly patient. The end result far surpassed our expectations and hopes. We got much more political interest and impact than we usually get, and the film has longevity. That’s testament to media co-op. It has been an absolute joy and pleasure to work with them, and we’ve had so much fun.

The film is superb – brilliant – it feels like ‘us’. It captures the sense of ownership, it feelslike it belongs to the young people. 

A perfect partner for the written evaluation report: really brings it alive.It makes co-production seem not just achievable but something to be aspired to. Shows ordinary people, given the right environment, doing extraordinary things. I love it!

We gave media co-op the brief, then they did the magic. It was worth every penny, and probably double! The animation is beautiful, and it’s being shared thousands of times.  All of the co-producers found it empowering, without exception; they say “it’s definitely my story.”

Little Hearts Matter

A real success. We had a lot of information that was hard to condense down, but media co-op understood what we wanted.

The development sessions were really good, I enjoyed them, and everybody could contribute. 

I would 100% say media co-op are very very good at sorting out any issues, keeping me up to date, and being supportive. 

The result was really what we were looking for. The Scottish Government team have seen it and they love it.

“It highlighted to me that with media co-op, we have a meeting of minds, we agree on human rights, equality and diversity. I don’t have to explain these things to media co-op and that’s one of their huge strengths.”

Scottish Independent Advocacy Alliance

I’m really glad we made the investment. I don’t like spending money, but I can see this was value for money.

I was really struck by how quickly media co-op grasped what we wanted. We so appreciated media co-op’s creativity, energy, and collaborative approach. The animation got a fantastic response.

Foundation Scotland

I sincerely hope we manage to work with media co-op again! The team managed to put all the key messages from a 20-page article into a 3-minute animation.  Communication was really good and clear – it felt like media co-op took away the burden of coordination and that was really nice. Overall, I’d sum up the experience as well organised, collaborative, fun, and great quality.
