Local Impact Marketing Coordinator Kelly Mevel out in the wild Art Directing for The Venny's image library! @the.venny.inc 📸

The brief: Coordinate and capture engaged children, staff and families exploring The Venny nature play spaces and activities across 3 sites. 

"I was delighted to work with Janet @hyggeligphotography who captured each so beautifully in the end of summer light. I can see why families feel safe, welcomed and adventurous at each of The Venny spaces, it was infectious," said Kelly.

We were able to build a strong content library for The Venny to use across multiple channels: website, socials, newsletters, pitch documents, presentations, reports, grant applications and more. 

Taking the time to build a strong image library will save them time, lift the organisation's profile, create engagement and impact. 💜
