Friendly reminder that Hannah Cox, a woman who did not call herself a runner this time last year, is currently a third of the way through 100 marathons in 100 days, raising £1 million for the planet. She's doing it to make a difference and prove what's possible, and she's absolutely smashing it.

If you're not ready for Christmas content yet, look away now... 💫 But we're just too excited to share this new work for our lovely friends at Moya Cole Hospice!

Such a lovely time at #PeatOnEarth today at Manchester Museum! We're open for one more day on Sunday, 10am til 4pm. 👦🏻 Ben

So excited for people to see the results of all our hard work on #PeatOnEarth! 10 spoken word films telling the unsung stories of our precious peatland habitats. 20-21 Sep, Manchester Museum @factualtv.bsky.social @britishcouncil.bsky.social @cumbriawildlife.bsky.social factualtv.asia/peatonearth

Thanks so much for sharing, @caughtbytheriver.bsky.social! Can’t wait for people to experience these films, hear some amazing poetry and fall in love with peat 🙌

No-context feedback on this week's video projects... 💀💀💀

How to cancel Jews (and get away with it). A 21st century guide to the oldest hatred.

📝 How our charity client raised £8,000 in a day with shortform video content This is one of our favourite kinds of projects. The client brought loads of great ideas, centred on one hero film but maximising value with lots of shortform content. Happy 150th! 👦🏻 Ben

Right well this got completely out of hand...I've done 702 miles. Thanks to all the lovely people who have donated off the back of this, it means so so much 🙏🏻

📺 A bit of new work we're very proud of... Last year we collaborated with @ukcoaching.bsky.social on a couple of long-form films for their #PlayTheirWay campaign. These resources are aimed at coaches looking to adopt a more child-first approach, based on the UN Rights of the Child. 1/2

Happy birthday to us – Studio 91 is officially 7 years old today 🎉

Over the past 18 months, we've been working on bogs and on a UK-Malaysia cultural exchange. So we're thrilled to see both those things in a new Connections Through Culture project supported by the British Council. 'Peat on Earth' will create new poems & films celebrating peatlands in UK & Malaysia.

🌿 PEAT ON EARTH… 🌱 We have some exciting news to announce! We’ve been selected to receive a Connections Through Culture grant from the British Council to co-produce a collaborative body of work between the UK and Malaysia that focuses on the topic of climate change.

We're really excited to share our new improved showreel! Love seeing all these brilliant projects in one place.

We wanted to share this at the start of the year but we d̶i̶d̶n̶'t̶ f̶i̶n̶i̶s̶h̶ i̶t̶ i̶n̶ t̶i̶m̶e̶ didn't want it to get lost in all the New Year noise... So here's a little February treat for you instead 💁🏻‍♂️

I've just had my mind blown for the third year in a row by the #BetterBusinessSummit in Manchester. It's my indispensable annual reminder that 1️⃣ everything is broken but 2️⃣ we can fix it. Wouldn't be complete with Day 3, the day in nature – this time exploring part of the GM Ringway trail.

As a company, we were meant to be at ‘Net Zero’ by 2025 and WE DEFINITELY AREN'T. There, I said it. Feels good to get that out. This blog/brain dump outlines my own misunderstandings, my disillusionment with the whole idea of net zero, and a rough plan for where we go from here. 👦🏻 @ben.s91.media

Probably the most important thing is that he doesn't do it for shareholders and is therefore the OG B Corp

Helping kids understand AI wasn't on my bingo card for 2024, but here we are. What can we learn about GenAI from parrots? Why should we be treat this new tech like a sloth would? The answers are in 'Exploring the AI Jungle' for @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social, edited by Nat and me. 👦🏻 Ben

Have you ever wondered how to get started on TikTok, or tried it but couldn't get any traction? Natalie, our resident TikTok connoisseur, shares three simple but effective tips. 👦🏻 Ben

A cheeky but quick ask, if I may... Please can you vote for our little B Corp video production company, @s91.media, to be a Local Hero and get a free advertising campaign from Sky? Closes 4th Dec so pleeease do it now, for any of the reasons listed below 🙏🏻 www.adsmartfromsky.co.uk/local-heroes...

Looking back on a really lovely fundraising campaign we worked on with #WAGGGS (World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts). It was the first time we'd met any of the team in person, having been working for them from afar since lockdown. 👦🏻 Ben More: www.studio91media.co.uk/2022/05/09/g...

Proud to be a B Corp. Proud to be Carbon Literate. Proud to be Mancunian.

I'm on a mission this week to follow UK-based purpose-driven businesses and charities (and their people!) If that's you, let's be Bluesky friends. 👦🏻 Ben

🎙️ Luke Clarke, who has been supported by our client the Greater Manchester Youth Network (GMYN), spoke on BBC Radio Manchester yesterday about how his experience in care has helped shape the new comic book Hear My Voice. Listen to the interview on BBC Sounds here 👉 https://buff.ly/4hQrEeT

I just nearly hit send on a reply to an enquiry with the phrase "plus BAT". It's technically correct, our pricing really doesn't include bat. 👦🏻 Ben

Lovely to see UK Bluesky gathering momentum! Quick re-intro for new people... 🐝 We're a B Corp in Manchester, UK 🎥 We make short films about purpose-led organisations 🌍 Our mission: video that's good for people, good for platforms and good for the planet studio91media.co.uk/manifesto

We're busy updating our starter pack of UK-based B Corps and purpose-driven businesses. Who are we missing? Please share so we can get this moving!

This isn't strictly 'cargo' because it's just resting there to keep it off the ground, but the photo always makes me chuckle. Actual cargo was my @s91.media camera kit with tripod and probably lights, plus Minnie the drone.

Such an honour to work on this fundraising film about the amazing work they do at Oasis Hub Hull. It is what churches were always meant to be – a hub of the community, a focal point where everyone is welcome. 👦🏻 Ben www.facebook.com/OasisHubHull...

Greater Manchester people! I've been missing the timely local info that Twitter had, as lovely as it has been seeing lots from USA and the rest of the world. So I've started a list of users in GM. Please share, and tell me who needs adding 😊 bsky.app/profile/did:...

When you arrive for the team meeting but there's no body there 👦🏻 Ben

View from the #CarbonLiterateCity launch at Manchester School of Art last night 👌🏻

Strange as it may seem, I didn't really 'get' riding a bike for fun until very recently. Riding and walking have always been a functional thing to me; riding for the sake of it seemed almost like a waste of time. It's not. It's one of the best ways you can possibly use your time.

Our client St Ann's Hospice has an inspirational supporter who aged 86 took on the Altrincham 10k last Sunday 🤩 Barbara Thackray has raised over £26,000 for St Ann's Hospice, and shows no sign of stopping fundraising! Find out more in this BBC News article - https://buff.ly/47b4VVY 🔗

Compressed hours is not a four-day week. A real four-day week means 32 hours with no reduction in pay. Our piece for Tribune. tribunemag.co.uk/2024/09/we-n...

Had a wonderful day out thanks to our lovely client Tyler Grange! No party on a farm is complete without a samba workshop in a barn. 👦🏻 Ben

Here's our starter pack for UK businesses that put people and planet before profit. It's a work in progress, please tell us who we've missed! 👦🏻 Ben go.bsky.app/5mBLc4B
