media co-op

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.

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.

“We found it very easy to work with media co-op and ended up with exactly the product we wanted in the timescale we needed. media co-op demonstrated a real understanding of our clients and had an emphasis on the end user, which fitted very well with our way of working.”

Our brand development process started with a blank sheet of paper. Media co-op and was really key in helping us consolidate THRE as not only a brand identity but overall as a project and team. They asked the right questions to get us to a point of shared understanding. Now, our unified brand identity works so well across all the platforms. It’s having impact.

We chose media co-op because we value their ethos and their process. 

The most important thing for us is the impact it’s had. The film has been seen well over 20,000 times, and even won an award. 

Most poignant of all has been the feedback from women who took part in our research, and whose voices are now being heard through the film: “Thank you for how well you represented us. I hope this is the start of future change.”

“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.”

I’m so proud of the animation. Ten out of ten. I present it at every meeting I go to. You see lots of NHS animation where figures are generic or dated. Our film stands out. 

It ended up on TV news and ten different newspaper and radio shows. Such good value for money.

media co-op understood brilliantly what I wanted to achieve, I can’t think of anything that could have been better. They came up with the idea of co-producing with children and parents – I learned such a lot.

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.
