Clear answers before recording starts
Good planning protects contributors and keeps your communications team moving.
How do you meet public sector procurement rules?
We provide a clear scope, staged costs, delivery schedule, and named outputs so your procurement and communications teams can assess the work properly. We can also work within an existing supplier process.
Can you handle FOI considerations in content?
Yes. We agree what is recorded, retained, approved, and published before interviews begin. Your team keeps editorial sign-off, and we follow your instructions for sensitive working material.
Do you record on-site in community settings?
Yes. We can record at community centres, council venues, NHS sites, and other suitable locations across London. We assess the room first and bring a compact setup suited to real conversations.
What about translation into community languages?
We can coordinate multilingual contributors, translated scripts, voiceover recording, and adapted versions for your audience. The wording stays plain and the review process stays with your team.
