Huge congratulations to this year’s WINNER of the Award for Independent Consultants (part of the MRS Awards programme):
Futuresight: Rob Waddington:
Exploring experiences of communications services amongst consumers, citizens and microbusinesses in the UK.
Futuresight documented the experiences of these audiences in 3 ethnographic short films – from inner city estates to the wilds of the Shetland isles. The films helped the Communications Consumer Panel (CCP) connect the individuals and communities they represent more directly with industry, civil society and government, resulting in the CCP having to do less to initiate policy change.
Matt Kirby, Award judge, said about this submission:
Futuresight’s submission shows how independent consultant, Rob Waddington, working with filmmaker Greg Atkins, helped the Communications Consumer Panel connect the individuals and communities they represent with stakeholders in a new and powerful way. Documenting the experiences of consumers, citizens and microbusinesses, from inner city estates to the wilds of the Shetlands, in 3 ethnographic short films, ensured their voices were heard by a wider audience, leading to policy change.
