What We do
Brave Day is socially conscious in its mission to support people with purpose — in non-profits, social enterprise, education, and the creative arts — to co-create imaginative, participant-led, multimedia storytelling projects.
We Create
Creative storytelling projects can bring together different elements of digital media, including:
Video • Audio • Photography • Animation • Art & Design
All shaped around your unique story and goals, and we can integrate with elements of what you do, such as health, wellbeing, mindful practices, coaching, learning and development, multi-disciplinary arts, and social change initiatives.
We Support Changemakers
You care deeply about your work, but finding the time and clarity to share what you do can feel overwhelming.
You might have:
• A spark of an idea, you’re not sure how to begin
• A project you’ve wanted to tell stories from for a while
• A community you’d love to engage through creative media
A Collaborative Ethos
Brave Day’s creative offerings are flexible and collaborative.
They’re designed to meet you where you are — with your time, energy, and budget in mind.
You’ll be supported with:
✓ Encouragement
✓ Grounded, practical advice
✓ An open-hearted, imaginative space to explore and create

“We love working with Brave Day and have produced several films with Kirstie and her team for high profile campaigns. They are a team you can trust with high level stakeholders and to be professional and creative in their approach. There is also an attention to detail and creativity in the editing process that I’ve not experienced with many other filmmakers. Kirstie really get to grips with a brief and thinks in depth about how the finished film will meet your aims and objectives.”
