BRAVE DAY HELP CHANGE-MAKERS and EDUCATORS GROW THEIR VISIBILITY AND IMPACT, THROUGH compelling DIGITAL MEDIA STORYTELLING.

Brave Day create…

Brave Day partner with purpose-led changemakers in organisations, education, business, and creative arts to help grow their visibility and impact through compelling and courageous storytelling.

The secret to good storytelling is getting clear on the different objectives you’re trying to achieve, your big vision, values and purpose, and consider how each piece of video or audio you produce helps to bring all the different strands together, to make a coherent story to your audience that will lead to positive change.

We can help support you to be creatively emotive, strategic and consistent in your digital media storytelling. We help to weave your values and messages through the narrative, style, tone, and emotions of your media project - whether that’s video, film, audio soundscape, podcast, interactive eBook, or all of them!

We love to nurture honest, open, passionate, dedicated, focused, and empathic relationships with our clients, to deliver a fun, enjoyable, and smooth creative process, and the powerful impact you need to make a real difference.

create & REPURPOSE…

We create all types and genres of video and audio content, for all kinds of purposes, supporting changemakers and educators to be seen, heard, and make a difference.

One piece of video or audio can be powerful. Combining different forms of media together can be even more powerful.

We’ve categorised the digital media production we offer into different categories, but often they overlap because one piece of video can later be repurposed into several other forms. When we work with you, we can identify opportunities that could extend the reach of your video and audio content through repurposing - for example, a case study video that documents the progression and outcome of a project, can be repurposed into a social media promo, a blog post, podcast, or learning resource.

courage to create…

Creativity is a brilliant tool to explore, express, connect and grow. Whether you’re a project creator, or want to stretch your own creative muscles, our workshops and virtual coaching can help you build your skills and confidence to be more creative in your work and life.

If you want support and ideas on how to create brilliant storytelling content, repurpose content you already have, brush up on your filming and editing skills, and be brave in your creative ideas for project work - Brave Day offers workshops and virtual coaching sessions, to be on-hand when you need that encouragement, creative help and accountability, to stay on track and create something truly wonderful.

Testimonial

“Thank YOU Kirstie. You have captured the spirit of Contains Strong Language so well in all your films. You have a sharp eye and a big heart. Thanks so much for all your work over the years . You are very much part of the festival.”

Sue Roberts - BBC Audio North head of Culture Arts and & Music

Brave Day Production team captured highlights of the magical, transformative 3 day BBC poetry, spoken word and performance festival from 2017 - 2021, including the many community arts projects commissioned by the festival.

Testimonial

“Kirstie is a rare mix of super creative and totally grounded - with an excellent and very useful network of creative collaborators.

On our project she’s been a brilliant listener, turning complex ideas and vague hunches into a succinct and compelling film. She’s incredibly patient and great at working with young people.

And perhaps most importantly, she’s a lovely human.”

David Heinemann - Co-Director of The Roots Programme

The Roots Programme seeks to break down barriers and bring people together. https://rootsprogramme.org

Brave Day documented the innovative exchange programme between a Manchester-based private and state school to break down barriers, and nurture compassion, connection and empathy.

Testimonial

“I was looking for a creative coach who could guide me through the writing process of a complex audio-documentary series, which I had been stuck with for months.

As soon as I talked to Kirstie, I knew it was a good match: she was both curious about the content and supremely attuned to the factors that can affect the creative process (imposter syndrome, time management around life’s other demands).

Kirstie’s ability to adapt to unusual needs was remarkable and our open communication meant the support framework evolved over time, something which is very rare.

Ultimately, Brave Day lived up to its name: it reconciled me with a sense of wonder and play in creativity and gave me the tools to gain creative resilience for the future..”
