Corporate video narration is one of the genres of voice over that I work in the most. Many companies have videos on their website, or social media to explain or promote their products or services. Sometimes businesses have video presentations made to show at conferences, or exhibitions, or for a pitch. I've voiced many of these over the last decade or so that I've been in business. Here's a demo of a corporate video with some great driving music that really adds to the overall feel of the piece. If I can be of help with narration for your next video, let me know. I'm always happy to record a sample so you can hear how I would sound for your project. My contact details are in my profile ?? #VoiceOver #narrator #voiceoverartist #corporatevideo .................................

Networking is essential when you run a micro business. In my 22 years of running my business, I have consistently networked at least one day a week. When we network, we are encouraged to be specific. By saying I design for anyone / any business who... is too broad. You might design for any business, but other people's brains can't do the sorting for you. So how am I specific?? Well, I design for B2B.? I can be more specific than that.? I design for manufacturers; particularly healthcare manufacturers. More specific. I design internal communications, white papers and reports for manufacturers, who sell into the NHS supply chain.? Much better! That is where most of my business is tbh. I also design for niche, innovative, design aware, environmental manufacturers. AND, I also design for transport companies that are expanding their businesses through mergers and acquisitions. Nice and specific. Looking for a new graphic designer, who is external but part of your internal team? Who will change the way your business looks, thinks and feels? I am looking for new clients from one of my three niches above ?? ?? DM me for more details.

Bridges of Venice (2) How many bridges must one cross in life to arrive at wisdom? If it’s in Venice, chances are you’ll get there faster. ?? I was a very spoiled photographer. Between capturing branding shots for a client, I found time to lose myself in the labyrinth of Venice. Walking endlessly in the past and present simultaneously. Reality and dream. You feel a deep sense of ancient history under every archway. A city to see and feel. After every bridge crossed another one is very near. Impossible to record the name of each one. You walk from one amazing sensation to the next. How many bridges must one cross to arrive at wisdom? Maybe, just maybe, Venice holds the answer.

Worried you might be falling into a trap doing your own branding? I know just how you can avoid it. You’ve gotta know when to stop and call in the experts. Doing it yourself is pretty empowering, but let’s face it, you’re not an expert in the field. And that’s fine! I can’t do what you do! The problem is, doing it on the cheap reflects poorly on your business - and is warning off bigger potential clients. At some point, you need to stop seeing branding as a cost, and start viewing it as an investment. When you do, you’ll reap the reward pretty quickly. And if you want some tips on where the pitfalls might be - I’ve got an article to help you see what to watch out for.

Huge congratulations to Kat Paylor-Bent and Isaac Harvey MBE for their stellar designer collection and modelling prowess at The Future Of Fashion show at #LondonFashionWeek last night! Seated Sewing’s Braille collection was a masterpiece! Each beautifully jewelled braille label tells the buyer what their outfit is made from, what the garments are, what colours they are, size etc. Genius! And our Kat was in very good company! It was brilliant to see young designers from The Royal College of Art creating such fantastic pieces for those with disabilities. It was also wonderful to meet two of my CR38IVES heroes in real life too! ?? #Fashion #Design #futureoffashion
