MEDIA TRAINING
BBC Radio 2
Acting as a consultant, Damian was asked to work up a plan for a major online, broadcast and outreach project for the network. The planning, budget and presentation was warmly received by senior members of BBC Radio 2 and then presented in turn by them to the Director General, who likewise gave his full support.
UK Parliament
We have created two series of podcasts featuring a tour of the house and events of national interest such as the budget. With interviewees ranging from behind-the-scenes experts to former Chancellor of the Exchequer Kenneth Clarke, these podcasts have helped push UK Parliament into the forefront of legislatures' use of new media.
The Royal Opera House
We are the main supplier of podcasts to the Royal Opera House with a range of content ranging from insights into the House to features of the upcoming performances. These exceptionally high quality podcasts reflect the uncompromising standards of the Royal Opera House and its progressive new media record. We also played a key role in the early success of their Facebook and YouTube initiatives.
The Horniman Museum
It is hard to imagine a museum with a more eclectic brief or more beloved of its patrons. We had the honour of creating the content for and the design of their YouTube channel and executed a series of podcasts covering the music of India. Our work at the Horniman puts this museum well ahead in the audio visual stakes of many of the nation's leading institutions.
The Horniman contracted FlyPod to develop its successful YouTube channel in 2008. Having agreed our outline goals, they took on the task of designing the site, editing existing film and commissioning a series of films and podcasts. We worked with the company again in 2009 during which time they helped us to further develop our public offering on the web.
FlyPod are an intelligent practice, they quickly gained a sophisticated understanding of our brief, and they worked collaboratively to realise our ideas. They are self reliant; they got on with the job and delivered a high quality product with humour and good grace." Finbarr Whooley, Assistant Director Curatorial & Public Services, Horniman Museum
Amnesty International, UK
FlyPod have created well over a dozen unique video features on human rights issues with leading comedians, sports people and activists. We created a video that successfully got Gordon Brown to respond personally on YouTube as well as taking charge of the giant task of taking the Secret Policeman's Ball and making it suitable for YouTube. We have also created a number of video and audio podcasts for Amnesty International and advised across the board on social media.
"Damian and I worked together on an online campaign which combined social networking, video creation, online strategy and project management to engage a large network of supporters and campaigners, he is highly efficient and able to produce excellent work to tight deadlines that is high quality, innovative, fresh and on message. He is creative and driven and always open to working on new ideas and concepts that reach as many people as effectively as possible."Sara MacNeice, Amnesty International, UK
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
FlyPod was commissioned to create a Mediterranean Festival podcast series which featured well known TV presenter Vanessa Collingridge, interviews with experts and music from World Cicuit.
"FlyPod produced excellent audio guides and podcasts for Kew, which we've used across many different media and have elicited great feedback. But not only did they produce compelling content, they also managed the whole project - they were a pleasure to work with." Mike Saunders, Royal Botanic Gardens
We also produced Moore on your Mobile for Kew following the success of the summer podcasts. This unique project enabled visitors to the Henry Moore exhibition at Kew to eavesdrop on conversations about the pieces by collaborators, botanists and artists using their own mobile phones as they wandered round. Kew were absolutely delighted by the take up and feedback for this ground breaking project.
Flyglobalmusic.com

Before joining FlyPod, Mike acted as executive producer for Culture Online's ProjectsETC series of podcasts. The podcasts included interviews with former cabinet members and leading arts practitioners.
