Announcement from Talk Digital: New Session November 22nd

This Movember, Talk Digital is bringing you the wonderful duo of Charlotte Appleton, Creative Director of Cora Media and Yara Gherwati, Cora Media’s Campaign Project Director for Not-For-Profits. 

In 2008 Charlotte began helping charities, first in the Caribbean and then in New York, to gain exposure and raise funds through various multimedia techniques. She combines video, editing and photography to represent and promote charitable activity in a moving, accessible way that perfectly suits modern digital delivery methods.

These experiences have led to Cora Media establishing teams in London and the UK, within non-profit communication.

Yara is a trained Jungle Survival expert and has worked on numerous projects in South-East Asia. A regular campaigner for global human rights and environmental issues, Yara also leads workshops at universities on topics such as the tar sands and deforestation. She brings a unique perspective to campaigns and a wealth of international experience to Cora Media’s not-for-profit division. 

Cora Media combine media tools to creatively tell a charity’s story: its purpose, past triumphs and aims, as well as emphasising how urgently it needs further awareness and funding.

They are pioneers of digital technology for media delivery formats such as podcasts and webcasting, and using these methods their campaigns have been able to reach international audiences.

Some of Cora Media’s projects include:
The BBC World Service Trust, Street Games (The Co-operative), The Jason Roberts Foundation, The Chris Samba Foundation, REACH Grenada, Reach and Teach (Midnight Madness), Don’t Lose the Music (RNID), Race for Life (Funny Women) and The Liverpool Legends charity activity.

With more competition and - arguably - shorter attention spans, it’s essential to be heard in innovative new ways. Hearing about Charlotte and Yara’s experiences with different charities, and their advice on how best to deploy video digitally, should prove extremely helpful for a charity striving to make work that stands out.

Join us on the 22nd of November at 6:30 pm at The Hospital Club in Covent Garden. As usual the drinks and food are on Ultraspeed - just bring yourself and your questions (and your Movember Mustaches). Please RSVP as spaces are limited.
