InsightMCL

Helping inspire a new generation of broadcasters! Reflecting on a year of volunteering here at Insight - working with the local Brownie pack is definitely one of the highlights. We were asked to design a workshop for the Brownies to create their own headlines and learn about all the job roles involved in news production so they could achieve their skills builder badge. Was the perfect excuse for Abigayle Fisher to take a take a trip down memory lane to her days as journalist and Steve Fisher to roll out the green screen to help the pack write, film and broadcast their own local news report. Our team had lots of fun and hopefully we inspired some future reporters, editors, anchors, camera ops, directors…. We are also thinking about how we could turn the idea into a storytelling/messaging exercise for comms teams, so watch this space! Looking forward to lots more volunteering in 2025 – all aimed at minimising our impact and helping to create a fairer, greener world. #sustainability #volunteering #ESG #girlguiding #empoweringwomenandgirls #productionskills #skillsforlife #production

It's another very busy week @ InsightMCL HQ - Friday feels far away but we are very excited to be delivering this workshop at the show! Video, streaming and events are top of our agenda this week - delivering content, planning programmes and doing a bit of networking. And the end game will be our workshop at the Hertfordshire Growth Hub's All The Help You Can Get Business Support Show. Directors Abigayle Fisher and Steve Fisher are looking forward to helping businesses large and small to make the most of video using their smartphones. #videoproduction #eventprofs #contentmakers #bettervideoonyoursmartphone #businessdevelopment #makethemostofvideo

Happy anniversary to our very own Zoe-Leigh Smith. So lucky to have had you as part of our team for four years! Recruited in the strange days of the pandemic - we didn't know exactly what the future held, but we are so proud of all we have achieved since then. There have been highs, lows and a lot in between, but your creativity, drive and focus have added so much value over the years we couldn't have done it without you. We've also definitely proved the remote working model! Looking forward to celebrating in person next month! #employees #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #flexibleworking

Out on the road for day 1 of Creative Careers Week. In very illustrious company this week, as our team take part in a Hertfordshire Futures careers fair touring our county’s colleges. All aimed at helping young people get to grips with some of the amazing opportunities in our sector. Our team loved meeting some of the students @HertsRegionalCollege yesterday and looking forward to moving to West Herts tomorrow. The creative and screen industry is one of the fastest growing sectors in the UK and we want homegrown talent to be right at the heart of it all. All part of our commitment to developing skills and helping create a fairer, greener world. #CreativeCareers #SkillsforScreen #ScreenHertfordshire #HertfordshireOpportunitiesPortal(HOP) #HertfordshireFutures #HFOTeam #SkyStudiosElstree

What do careers in sustainability look like? Great to join fellow Herts Go Green and Grown founders JPA Workspaces, Net Zero International and Estu Global to host a stand at yesterday's #GenerationHertsmere event tackling that very question. With hundreds of young people through the door over the course of the day, we were able to discuss how future careers will be shaped by the biggest challenge we face. EVERY sector has a need for people who are committed to minimising impact and creating a fairer, greener world. Hopefully we inspired the workforce of the future to think more broadly about how a passion to make a difference can fit into their dream role. Well done to Fiona Edwards MIEMA, CEnv in particular for driving this one, and David Hawes and Simon Littlewood for sharing your expertise. Missed you Graham P.. Thanks to Lesley Crisp for being such a force for good in our county and inviting us along, and shout out to our own Abigayle Fisher for representing our business. We are taking our stand on the road over the next few months to more Generation events, so the journey has just begun! #workingtogetherfortomorrow #jobs #greenjobs #careersinsustainability #business #hertsgogreenandgrow

That's a wrap! Our crew are ending the week with the last in a series of truly unique shoots, which have taken us behind the scenes of community libraries. The breadth of activities on offer is mind boggling and we have met and interviewed some incredible people who have shared their poignant, genuine and very funny stories! If you think libraries are just about books - you could not be more wrong! They are filled with warmth, colour and wonderful characters. Looking for a new volunteering challenge? Get down to your local library to see what's on offer. Thank you to everyone who has shared their story - it's been a pleasure and a privilege. #libraries #community #videoproduction #storytelling
