Case Studies

Global UK-based Food Brand

Challenge:  Improving communication between departments

This client needed to improve communication between departments based in different locations around the UK. They were aware that a lack of staff engagement and duplication of work between departments was creating a barrier to business success.

Training:  Camera craft training and production technique

Skills2Film trained a small group of communication staff in camera craft and production technique.

Impact: Improved staff training, company-wide communication, brand and product awareness

With training, the communication staff became an expert in-house team, creating cohesive short films to deliver training and to keep staff up to date with department initiatives and new products. Published over the company intranet, the short films have generated a far higher level of company-wide brand awareness and understanding between the different company departments.

Following the success of these short films internally, the company is now beginning to communicate with their customers in the same way and has started its own YouTube channel.
