Live graphic recording is powerful

When you want to communicate a message clearly to your audience everyone knows a picture speaks a thousand words. But in an increasingly Ai-saturated visual world how do you stand out from the crowd? By using hand-drawn visual assets.

Tell Me More

The visualization gives us sense of unity and integrity. The fact that it shows everything achieved in the first half of the year is a recognition of the hard work and it keeps everyone motivated.
In addition, it shows all our goals and new ways of working and it’s a constant reminder of what we do helping us appreciate each other but also the work we do as a team and alone… I loved the reaction from the team and the way it reinforced the team feeling.

Graphic Recording Scenarios

We help you connect with your humans

Our work is always bespoke and hand-drawn, with the benefits of digital formats for you to use long after your event. And the best bit? Humans can tell your visual assets are human made.

Here’s some inspiration for ways you can use our visual storytelling services to communicate in your industry…

capture an in-person event

Enhance your conferences, launches or staff events with a live illustration. Whether analogue (big paper, big pens) or digital (iPad), you’ll have a talking point during the event and an inspiring graphic recording by the end, ready to share with attendees and stakeholders.

share your research

Summarise your research so it’s more accessible to more people with a short explainer video, or with hand-drawn illustrations to illuminate your research themes, methods and outcomes.

launch a change

Using hand-drawn visuals to explain a change initiative retains the human touch for the people affected, adding clarity and reassuring them that you see the humans behind the new process or target operational model.

win a pitch

When you’re competing for a contract, grant or budget, our hand-drawn visual assets can help you stand out from the competition and signal that you’ve invested thought and care into your proposal.

summarise your reports

When everyone has moved to glossy Ai images, stand out from the crowd with hand-drawn assets to summarise and illustrate the key messages of your reports.

gather insight from an audience

We can gather feedback, ideas and insights from your audience live at an event, from individuals with 1-1 interviews or from small focus groups you want to hear from. By capturing the output visually we help your audience feel heard and understood.

celebrate a milestone

Celebrate a project well done or commemorate an organisational anniversary with a short hand-drawn animation. People leave the room feeling motivated and engaged.

refresh your presentation

Use hand-drawn visual assets to illustrate the key messages of your presentations. Using hand-drawn rich pictures means your messages will be more memorable for longer, helping your audience take the message home with them.

visualize meeting minutes

We specialize in live graphic recording of remote meetings, from AGMs to team meetings, giving you a digital visual to share by the end. Whether in lieu of or in addition to written minutes, you can be sure your visual minutes will grab attention

tell an origin story

Make your business origin story vivid and engaging with a hand-drawn rich picture, or use a short explainer video to bring your stories to life, helping your audience remember your brand.
