Colonel Duck

30/11/2023

We recently worked with Glaucoma UK on two projects to raise awareness of and highlight the impact that it has on people.

We are delighted to have received such positive feedback from our client:

“Colonel Duck were extremely responsive and helpful from start to finish, taking the time to listen to our brief, understand our brand and highlight our key messages. They kept us informed about how the production process was going and gave us the chance to feedback to them at various stages. We were so impressed, we commissioned them for another campaign before the first project had even finished. Although the second project had a much shorter lead time, they immediately laid out a project timeline outlining exactly when each stage of the production would be completed, and hit every deadline along the way. We’re extremely pleased with the quality of their work and will certainly approach them again for future campaigns.” - Tom Storer, Digital Communications Officer

Last week Hope and Nathan visited British Offsite Limited to check out their new factory, Horizon.

British Offsite is revolutionising offsite manufacturing. It was fantastic to see the investment and work that has gone into Horizon - plus who doesn’t love robots?!

We have been working with British Offsite to create a series of 3D animations and stills that explain the intricacies of their UNIsystem panels, in an easy-to-understand way. It was brilliant to see how these animations are being used and see the panels come to life!

Last week, Hope and Nathan visited our charity client, The Fifth Trust, down at their day centre in Kent!

We work with The Fifth Trust to develop and manage their virtual learning platform, FT Connect. FT Connect has been specially developed for people with learning disabilities and offers a unique, accessible learning environment. This platform is available locally to all of their students and nationally to anyone who would benefit from The Fifth Trust’s online learning.

It was fantastic to see their wide range of facilities in person and meet the students and instructors. It’s clear to see the passion and dedication of everyone involved in The Fifth Trust, which shows in the inspirational support that they provide adults with learning disabilities.

Whilst we were there, we captured some of The Fifth Trust’s incredible social enterprises, which include a garden centre, café and even a vineyard!

To mark the end of the , we thought we'd put together a quick highlights reel of the sports that our team has managed to see in the last 11 days!

Being a Birmingham-based agency, we've been proud to witness our home city put on a brilliant Commonwealth Games.

This past week has shown how fantastic Birmingham can be!

Our lead animator, Nathan, has the best reason for working from home today - the is happening outside his house!

It does mean he got to watch a bit of sporting action during his lunch!

Have you seen any of the sport this week?

The Commonwealth Games have begun!!

It's fantastic to see our city taking center stage. We love the spirit and sense of community we are seeing.

A few of the Colonel Duck team are even lucky enough to have tickets to the games!

What are you most looking forward to seeing over the next week?

Last week we had Elena from King Edward VI Five Ways School join us for work experience.

Our team was blown away by Elena's enthusiasm and approach to work. She supported us with live client projects, created assets for our own marketing and provided our team with fresh inspiration!

This is a great example of why placements can be worthwhile. Not only is the experience beneficial to the student, but the new perspective that they bring is invaluable to businesses.

We took some time to complete a Colonel Duck challenge in perspective.

Finding letters in inanimate objects was certainly tricky, but it helped us to view the office in a different way. Our challenge showed how worthwhile perspective can be in providing new answers from what is already familiar.

A quick, inspirational snippet that started our Monday at Colonel Duck. Hatchlings’ wise words remind us of the fresh perspectives that a novice can bring, and show that introducing new collaborative efforts to a process can help to breed unique and progressive ideas.
