Markel, a leading insurance and financial services company, entrusted me with several key projects, all centred on capturing the essence of their team and events through high-quality videography, photography, and project coordination. The focus was on showcasing their Spotlight Awards and creating impactful internal content, all under tight deadlines and with a strong emphasis on collaboration with their marketing team.

For the Spotlight Awards, I travelled to Markel’s offices in London, Croydon, Birmingham, Leeds, and Manchester to film interviews with staff discussing the nominations. These heartfelt recordings were edited into short videos that were played during the award ceremony, adding a personal touch before each winner was announced. The tight turnaround required precise planning and efficient editing to meet the event deadline.

I also filmed internal onboarding content with Markel’s leadership team, focusing on creating engaging and informative videos to help new employees integrate into the company culture. These projects required seamless collaboration with Markel’s marketing team, adhering to their preferred systems and ensuring all content aligned with their brand standards.

In addition, I coordinated a multi-venue announcement event that required event photographers at each of the offices. This involved hiring and managing freelancers I had worked with previously, ensuring consistent quality across all locations. The logistical complexity demanded meticulous planning and communication to execute flawlessly.

Through a combination of creativity, efficiency, and collaboration, I delivered high-quality content that met Markel’s objectives, strengthened their brand, and celebrated their team’s achievements.
