We work regularly with Creative Nation. From creating content for use at launch parties, producing print assets and filming the events themselves, the diversity of skills of the people with whom they work mean that I am confident to approach them with such a variety of projects.
Recently, they ran a couple of creative sessions for us with our VIP EMEA clients. Our clients had a fabulous time recreating our content and making adverts for our key channels, with Creative Nation’s support and guidance. These sessions made our client’s visit to the UK memorable and fun as well as helping them to get to know the Discovery brand better, which is just what we wanted to achieve!
Being that our workload is often diverse and fast paced, the fact that Creative Nation always take the time to look at our requirements carefully and work with us to meet our budgets and timescales is of enormous benefit to us…

After a fabulous 20 months, Creative Nation is taking some time to look at itself in the mirror; pat itself on the back, slap its wrists where appropriate and plan for the future. This is no mean feat!
It has always been our modus operandi to be as flexible as possible whilst maintaining high standards of quality and professionalism. We have succeeded in this through only working with the best, professional freelance production talent without restricting what type of projects and clients we are open to.
During the course of this process, we have remembered quite how diverse our work and clients are, so thought we should start to share some of things we do that may surprise you…. did you know we do things like this?
Last month we worked with Discovery’s events team on a couple of events for some Very Important People- their affiliates from all over EMEA.
Discovery wanted to show them a good time, whilst helping them to better understand their channel brands and content.
Creative Nation;
Analyzed their brief, took into account the other activities and schedule of their clients whilst in the UK and decided that a practical, active and fun creative session would work best.
Created the creative session, working with existing channel content, assets, key messaging and objectives and working alongside key Discovery staff members.
Designed a logo for the event and generated all print based assets including a programme for their visit, display boards, name badges, and worksheets for the day.
Produced reels of channel content relevant to the regions from which the clients came.
Facilitated the day providing a trained facilitator, cameraman, photographer and editor on site as well as all props/materials and an on site studio, complete with blue/green screen.
‘Played’ with the clients, encouraging them to get really creative and helping them to produce some very high quality and entertaining footage.
Edited their footage on site for display after dinner that same day, which raised lots of smiles and enabled a ‘feel good factor’ that lasted beyond the event in the form of the takeaway DVD that we produced for all attendees.
Booked and arranged the after dinner entertainment in the form of The Gents (we could almost brag we introduced the Contemporary Cockney Knees Up to Eastern Europe!).
How did we manage to fulfill so many aspects of this event for our clients?
Because;
The tried and trusted network that we brag about really does exist and it works!
We provided a dedicated Producer to ensure the smooth running of the event from pre production through delivery.
Our clients trust us, as described above!
The future? Help us to best serve you!
