MakerChange Studio

The MakerChange Studio team has completely transformed our website. Our brief to them was to make our mission clear and our work easily understandable, actionable and openly accessible: and that's exactly what they've delivered. A great example of this is the interactive Vaccine Confidence Index map interface they designed to showcase the breadth of our data and allow researchers access to our insights. Throughout the design and development process the team brought expertise, enthusiasm and a thirst for problem solving. We couldn't be happier with the final product, and the fact that it was delivered at brilliant value for money is just the icing on the cake.

I cannot recommend MakerChange Studio highly enough. In my years running comms for various organisations, I am yet to come across a digital team that can offer such creativity and professionalism in equal measure. Designing Paul’s digital brand identity required real thought, given that we work with business, government and civil society, all of whom are very different. The MC team are so good at taking a brief, helping you think it through, understanding whatever limits you have to contend with, and seeing the opportunities. And then they take all of that away, and come back with concrete ideas, beautiful content, and a collaborative process. Building the website was actually a pleasure, which I never thought I’d hear myself say about any website build. The support since has been just as good. We really consider them an extended part of our small team’s family.

Former Director of Communications and Campaigns for Paul Polman

As a UK-based global charity, working with MakerChange Studio offered us a best-of-both-worlds solution when it came to telling local stories that illustrate some of the global safety challenges we work on. MC gave us the assurance and accessibility of an efficient and personable project management team based close to home, combined with a locally-led, non-extractive approach to the production itself. This made Freetown Floodfighters – a film telling the story of women on the front lines of flood resilience efforts in Sierra Leone’s capital – a far more authentic output as a result, and one that has been widely commended by our stakeholders, internally and externally. It represented exceptional value for money, compared with many other creative providers.

Their agile structure allows them to find the right partners for your creative needs and turn around highly-targeted high-quality work quickly, without compromise.

Having partnered with MakerChange Studio over the past three years, I can confidently say there is nothing they cannot do. No challenge, location, or situation is too difficult for them. They have an incredible capacity to create diverse, authentic, and visually stunning films, always prioritising collaboration with local filmmakers to ensure their work captures the true essence of each project. The projects we support consistently speak highly of their experience working with MakerChange Studio, praising the meaningful relationships formed with local filmmakers. MakerChange Studio is collaborative, are excellent communicators and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Millie Edwards
Director, Iris Project

I worked with MakerChange Studio on an 8-part, global interview series, highlighting the career of former Lloyd’s Register Foundation-funded graduates to the IMO’s International Maritime Law Institute (IMLI). The films celebrate the extraordinary impact these individuals have made on oceans safety in their home nations, and explore the unique challenges faced by those who work at sea and coastal communities in emerging maritime economies. Despite the complex brief, the team navigated the logistical difficulties with ease. From concept development through to delivery they were an absolute pleasure to work with, bringing a level of project management, technical expertise and strategic insight that I have rarely seen in other creative agencies. Their approach to storytelling perfectly aligns with our strategy as a charity, and I'm elated with the results.

PR & Communications Manager, Lloyd's Register Foundation

Working with Jenni and Carlie and the wider Maker Change team was a brilliant experience and I couldn't recommend them enough. Their insights and experience helped drastically improve our branding and identity; their creative process was accessible and fun for our wider team and made it easy for everyone to embrace our new identity. As an environmental charity, it was important that we worked with a team that understood the impact we were trying to have and why high-quality communications would be a key part of that. The website build led by Andrew was also expertly done with the right mix of technical expertise and creativity. We are so pleased with our new website, which has worked beautifully since launch. Maker Change are now our 'go to' designer and creative lead for all our projects – we know when they are involved, we can rest easy that the end result will be exceptional.
