New web videos for Kids Allowed
The latest web video production for one of our clients went live today – Kids Allowed, the ward winning childcare company, now have two brand new videos on their website.
We’d done some audio podcast work with Jennie Johnson (MD of Kids Allowed) in the early summer and having been impressed with the results, she was really keen to take it to the next level. So Jennie asked us to develop some fun and engaging web videos that could market her business to both potential customers and employees.
The end result was that we produced two videos, one focused on marketing the vast array of services and benefits available to customers and the second that promotes the fantastic career opportunities and rewards available at Kids Allowed to job seekers.
The videos sit on the home and careers section of the Kids Allowed website or you can watch them below.

Podcasting reaches Ministerial levels
I recently interviewed The Rt Hon Beverley Hughes MP, Minister of State for Children, Young People and Families and newly appointed Minister for the North West, for a podcast we recorded at an event held by the North West Employers Organisation, that recognised the successful development of Elected Councillors in Local Government.
The Minister presented awards to the Councils that have this year achieved ‘Charter’ recognition for their work in training and developing elected members of their councils. Afterwards, she told me “It’s absolutely critical that we have good people in councillor roles, leading councils, giving councils good political leadership and working really closely with their communities and meeting those communities needs.That’s what is at the heart of local government for me.”
It was useful to be reminded of the huge role that ‘Elected Members’ have to play in the leadership and direction of our local authorities. I’ll consider that the next time my local elections come around.

Why employers should sign the 'Skills Pledge'
This week I went to a North West launch of the employers ‘Skills Pledge’ at the swish Lowry Hotel in Manchester. The event was jointly hosted by the North West Employers Organisation and the Learning Skills Council and featured a number of speakers including Neil Scales, Chief Executive of Merseytravel
and Maggie Mooney, Chief Executive of Carlisle City Council. Both Maggie and Neil talked about the tremendous improvements in morale, customer service and financial performance since introducing ‘Skills for Life’ training and urged other organisations to sign the pledge.
Liz McQue, Chief Executive Designate of the NWEO, described the event as “a great success because local authorities are better armed with information about what support they can get, so that we can really raise our game on the skills agenda for the workforce and our communities”.
We captured some of the key points of the event in a podcast which can be heard by clicking here.
