Instant Video at Awards

/in /by

Wow – we are pleased to report that the 2018 Variety Yorkshire Residential Property Awards were the best ever…we worked through the night to make sure that winners and sponsors got links to the video reports virtually as the event drew to a close.

Bowcliffe Hall was the venue for the 2018 awards

Over 600 property professionals packed into the historic surroundings of Bowcliffe Hall in North Yorkshire for a fantastic evening of entertainment, networking and, of course, the awards themselves highlighting the very best of property development in the county.

And the best part of the event…it raised over a hundred thousand pounds for Variety the Children’s Charity who spend virtually every penny on projects or equipment to help local children and young people who face challenges every day of their lives.

Over the next few days we will be feeding through the videos that feature each of the winners together with a roundup video and ‘vox pops’ that were recorded on the night.

The plan was simple – when are people most likely to share videos about property in Yorkshire…when they have just won an award formal their hard work of course. The videos also help to give the sponsors, who are vital to the success of the awards, plenty of exposure so, hopefully, they will support the event in 2019.

 

 

Volition RX – our joint journey towards better cancer prevention continues

/in /by

Our journey with client, Volition RX, who are developing a simple, cost effective and highly accurate test for various cancers, has continued with a special video report with the organisation’s Scientific Advisory Board (SAB).

The video was recorded on our recent visit to the company’s main European facility in Namur, Belgium, where the SAB were holding a meeting.

Volition is a multi-national life sciences company focused on developing simple, easy to use, cost effective blood tests   designed to help diagnose a range of cancers.  The tests are based on the technology platform of Nucleosomics®, which is the practice of identifying and measuring nucleosomes in the bloodstream or other bodily fluid – an indication that disease is present.

The SAB is a multi-disciplinary international board with expertise in broad areas of technology and convenes at least twice a year to give high level advice and counsel to Volition’s scientific team. Chaired by Dr. Alan Colman, the Board has seven other members, all highly-respected leading experts in their individual fields. The team meets in Namur which was set up by Volition as their central facility for testing blood samples from their various trials that are taking place around the world currently.

Dr. Colman commented “The role of the SAB is to review and advise the Volition team on the development of its scientific program. Every member provides invaluable insight and input which helps drive scientific rigour.”

As cancer screening programs become more widespread, Volition’s products aim to help to diagnose a range of cancers quickly, simply, accurately and cost effectively. Early diagnosis has the potential to not only prolong the life of patients, but also to improve their quality of life.

Volition RX will be in California for this event in 2019

Volition intends to expand the application of its technology beyond cancer by exploring other disease applications. The company’s research and development activities are currently centered in Belgium, with additional offices in London, Texas and Singapore, as it focuses on bringing its diagnostic products to market first in Europe, then in the U.S. and ultimately, worldwide.

Watch out for a video invitation to meet with Volition RX during the forthcoming 36th J.P. Morgan Annual Healthcare Conference being held in San Francisco between January 8-11, 2019 which we will be recording and publishing shortly.

Social Media ‘Explosion’ for Residential Awards!

/in /by

We will be helping to create a social media ‘explosion’ around the 2018 Variety Yorkshire Residential Property Awards when we don our black tie and cocktail dress to join in on the big night.

As well as being commissioned to produce the feature videos for the glittering event, to be held at the historic Bowcliffe Hall in Yorkshire, we have been appointed to produce a series of video reports on the night which will be immediately beamed out on various social media channels.

The project will help to publicise the event but also to raise the profile of the sponsors, who are vital for the event’s success, and therefore help to attract future backers for the Awards.

This year the videos for the main event are even more ambitious – as well as featuring a colourful and dynamic overview video, we have produced video inserts to announce each of the category winners and also separate reports highlighting ‘The One To Watch’ and ‘Property Personality of the Year’ Awards. In addition to these, we have also recorded the main appeal video which will help Variety the Children’s Charity in Yorkshire, raise badly needed funds for young people throughout the county who face challenges every day of their lives.

Fiona Molloy, co-owner of Good Call Media said:”It’s obviously great to make the videos for the Awards themselves but we have increasingly developed an offering to our clients who stage these events to immediately share the success of the night and the winners on social media.”

And she added: “It’s quite simple – when are people most likely to share material from an awards event? Just after they have won of course so, by giving them video clips while they are at the awards or immediately after, we encourage many more hits on Twitter, Linked In, Facebook and You Tube and if the sponsors’ names are on these videos, they are going to be extremely happy with the exposure they receive above and beyond a mention on the night.”

Over 600 property professionals are expected to join us on the night so keep an eye open on social media for the results.

 

Green screen studio for launch of 2019 Global Welfare Awards

/in /by

Our green screen studio was put to use to help launch the 3rd Global Animal Welfare Awards for 2019.

We recorded a special illustrated news bulletin highlighting the main aspects of the awards which will be held at the 35th World Veterinary Association Congress in Costa Rica, Central America and April.

To see the video, click here

Our major client, Ceva Santé Animale (Ceva) and the World Veterinary Association (WVA) have continued their commitment to promote ever better international standards of animal welfare by organising the Global Animal Welfare Awards recognising and rewarding veterinarians for their outstanding efforts to protect and improve the welfare of animals.

Our green screen was used to create a realistic news room for the announcement

Veterinarians are not only essential for the treatment and prevention of animal diseases, but play a crucial role in protecting and improving the welfare of animals. The veterinary community helps to research, advocate and educate politicians, public health authorities, the media and general public in implementing the highest animal welfare standards.

The aim of the WVA Animal Welfare Awards is to recognise and reward veterinarians who in their daily lives contribute to the protection and welfare of animals and have provided outstanding and exemplary welfare-related services to animals, animal owners, fellow veterinarians and the public.

Following the successful deliverance of the WVA Animal Welfare Awards in 2017 and 2018, Ceva and WVA in collaboration with the International Veterinary Students’ Association (IVSA) have this year agreed to expand the scope of the awards by adding  a new category recognising a veterinary student for his/her involvement and engagement in animal welfare.

The WVA Animal Welfare Award 2019 will be presented to six selected veterinarians from the WVA six geographical regions and to one veterinary student from around the world. The Award Ceremony will take place during the 35th World Veterinary Association Congress on 28th April 2019 in San Jose, Costa Rica where the selected winners will be invited to receive the WVA Animal Welfare Award and a monetary prize of 5.000 Euros.

In addition, Ceva and WVA are actively studying a plan to expand the AW Awards categories to include veterinary schools in future editions, rewarding them for Animal Welfare Excellence in Veterinary Education.

2018 Yorkshire Property Industry Awards are a big success

/in /by

Our video highlighting the latest trends in the dynamic Yorkshire property scene was a big success at the 2018 Yorkshire Property Awards held in the New Dock Hall, Leeds.

Over 700 property professionals packed into the venue for one of the region’s biggest property networking events. Our video highlighted major developments in Yorkshire including Wellington Place and The Majestic in Leeds, Thorpe Park, east of the city and The Fruit Market in Hull.

#animalhealthmatters video goes down a storm

/in /by

Our video for the organisation AnimalhealthEurope to promote their #animalhealthmatters campaign went down really well with the audience who viewed it for the first time.

European Commissioner for Health & Food Safety Vytenis Andriukaitis who took part in the #animalhealthmatters video project

The campaign is featured prominently on social media channels

The video, which can now be seen on AnimalhealthEurope’s YouTube channel and social media outlets including Twitter, involved filming different people connected with animal health throughout Europe and editing them into a dynamic video montage. This is also supported by a series of in-depth interviews

AnimalhealthEurope’s PR Manager, Clare Carlisle, who masterminded the project, wrote to us and said:

“Just a quick note to say all the people at our drinks last night loved the video!

I got lots of compliments on the quality of participants giving us a quote and they loved that we featured animals as well in a number of the shots. A few people who came late even asked me to send them the YouTube link as they missed it but heard from others it was really good.

So fabulous job all round!”

Spanish poultry farmer, Sandra Garcia Carmona will feature next month

AnimalhealthEurope is the association representing manufacturers of animal medicines, vaccines and other animal health products in Europe. It is a not-for-profit body representing both corporate members and national animal health associations in Europe. It represents both innovators and generics alike, as well as large, medium-sized and small companies. AnimalhealthEurope’s membership covers 90% of the European market for animal health products.

We look forward to the possibility of working with AnimalhealthEurope again in the future and keep a watch out for the final case study in the series when we feature a successful Spanish poultry farm run by an entrepreneurial woman who also cares deeply for her animals.

Recruitment and results for XP Power

/in /by

Our client XP Power have turned in more positive financial results and they are looking to recruit the best people so we have stepped in with videos to highlight both of these subjects.

We set up our own studio in their UK offices for the financial interview with CEO Duncan Penny and CFO Gavin Griggs. To see the video report on the company’s latest interim results, click here 

               Good first half of 2018 for XP

   Our videos will support recruitment at XP

The Group has had a good first half of 2018. Their reported order intake, revenues and earnings for the first six months of 2018 were comfortably ahead of the equivalent period in 2017, offsetting the impact of Sterling appreciation year on year. The Group benefited from the continued momentum in the capital equipment markets and, significantly, new design wins entering their production phase. The resulting solid growth in earnings and cashflow generation, and our confidence in the Group’s outlook, support a further increase in the dividend.

As a result of their expansion and success in recent years, XP Power are also looking to expand their workforce across the globe and Good Call Media is preparing a series of video projects to support that strategy. Interviews with existing XP personnel will be used to illustrate the quality of the opportunities available at the company, which operates in the UK, Europe, Asia and the USA.

 

 

 

Goodbye summer – hello autumn

The end of the summer holiday period in the Western Hemisphere can be a depressing time for some but here at Good Call Media we don’t have time to consider the weather – we’re too busy coping with yet another record breaking  pipeline of projects!

New client – Hall Hunter Partnership

Supplying UK’s leading supermarkets

September saw us start the month working for a new client. Hall Hunter Partnership is one of the UK’s most    successful fruit growers. The family business was formed in 1966 and is now a leading  UK grower of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries and its major UK customers include, Waitrose, Marks & Spencer and Tesco.

The company relies heavily on workers who travel to the UK from other European countries including Poland, Bulgaria and Romania and we have been commissioned to make videos in four different languages to help attract future staff to the business…watch this space for more details.

Filming for Volition RX

We then travelled to Namur, Belgium, for the latest filming project for Volition RX, our existing customer who are pioneering new, affordable methods of predicting cancers through a simple blood test. Our drone came in handy when we needed to shoot some great shots of the Namur region for the film.

Filming with our drone

We took to the air with the drone again a few days later when we headed north in the UK to make the video launching the latest Yorkshire Property Industry Awards for Business Insider magazine. We filmed on a series of developments in Hull, Leeds and South Yorkshire for the film.

Studio trailer for 2019 Global Welfare Awards

We are also delighted to announce that we will be circumnavigating the globe again in 2019 to support the 3rd Global Animal Welfare Awards, organised by the World Veterinary Association and our patron client, Ceva Santé Animale. We will film the six winners in the different continents covered by the Awards and then host the ceremony itself   which will be held in Costa Rica, Central America in April 2019.

This year a new category has been added to recognise a student veterinarian who has gone ‘above and beyond the call of duty, when it comes to promoting the subject of animal welfare in their work and studies. Last year we travelled to Canada, Brazil, Scandinavia and Senegal in West Africa to interview and film the finalists for the 2018 awards. We will also be developing a new programme of presentation training for Ceva personnel.

And this is just the start of our workload that will take us to the end of 2018 and into 2019…roll on winter!

Follow-up on One Health partnership

/in /by

Our latest video highlighting a new partnership between one of our main clients and one of the world’s most respected research universities is a great example of how to maximise a filming opportunity.

We travelled to the Netherlands to record the signing of a new partnership agreement between our client, Ceva Animal Health and Wageningen University in the Netherlands. The video report highlighting the agreement and featuring Ceva’s CEO, Dr. Marc Prikazsky and Dr. Ludo Hellebrekers, Director of WBVR, went out within minutes of the short ceremony.

We also captured interviews with other key players at the event and the video featuring more detail about the research and planned out comes has now also gone live on social media outlets.

Good Call Media co-owner, Nik Wood, who filmed the event, said:”In the dynamic world of social media we advise our clients to get more ‘bang for their buck’ by segmenting events like this into different areas of content that can be fed through You Tube, Facebook, Twitter and Linked in following the actual announcement itself. It helps to keep an audience engaged if they are getting more information at a later date.”

Wageningen Bioveterinary Research (WBVR) and Ceva Santé Animale (Ceva) announced the collaboration to develop veterinary vaccines for the control of (re)emerging infectious animal diseases, such as Rift Valley fever and Influenza. With an estimated 75% of emerging human infectious diseases originating from animal reservoirs, this new research and development platform provides an excellent example of how the public and private sectors can work together.
