  • Graphic recording case study: Macmillan Cancer Support ‘Active Everyday’ Campaign

    MacMillan Cancer Support and their partners at Sheffield Hallam University recently asked Crackerjack Visual Thinking to create a live graphic recording of a 2 hour event which was part of their Active Everyday campaign. This campaign is encouraging patients and healthcare professionals to change their mindsets and encourage appropriate exercise as part of the recovery process following treatment for cancer. Here’s the graphic I produced live in the session:

     After the event, Liam Humphries from Sheffield Hallam University (who organised the event) said:

    “The event included a diverse blend of delegates, including clinicians, nurses, researchers, commissioners, and people affected by cancer. The programme included many different speakers all promoting the benefits of physical activity for people with cancer. I asked John to attend the event because I wanted a creative way of providing delegates with an overview of the day.

    The finished piece was extremely well received by the attendees and John was able to explain his artistic vision from what he had heard throughout the event. I now have a great piece of work that I can share with everyone from the event and for events in the future.”

  • Have a look at Crackerjack’s testimonials!

    Here’s our latest testimonial:

    Liam Humphreys – Exercise Science Researcher, Sheffield Hallam University

    John attended the launch event of Active Everyday; a physical activity referral programme for people affected by cancer in Sheffield. The project is funded by Macmillan Cancer Support and Sport England.

    The event included a diverse blend of delegates, including clinicians, nurses, researchers, commissioners, and people affected by cancer. The programme included many different speakers all promoting the benefits of physical activity for people with cancer. I asked John to attend the event because I wanted a creative way of providing delegates with an overview of the day.

    The finished piece was extremely well received by the attendees and John was able to explain his artistic vision from what he had heard throughout the event. I now have a great piece of work that I can share with everyone from the event and for events in the future.

    John was very easy to work with and accommodating to my requests. I would certainly use him again for future events and would highly recommend him to others.

    If you would like a more creative and interactive experience for your events or meetings; John is your man.

  • Great feedback received about Crackerjack’s Visualising Great Conversations workshop

    Here’s some feedback about the Visualising Great Conversations workshop recently run by Crackerjack for Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust:

    “Very useful and inspiring session – especially around developing good listening skills not just around gaining confidence in actually drawing.”

    “The style of the session was very relaxed and gave confidence to have a go at all the activities.”

    “Enjoyed it and think it would be great to put it to use for info on activities for workshops.”

    “It was really useful and previously I have avoided drawing anything due to lack of skill and this session gave me simple usable ways of getting the point across in a visual way.”

    “I thought he [John] was excellent”.

    “I liked that he used his graphics to demonstrate how they could be used – agenda / exercises.”

    “It felt it was a ‘no pressure, have a go session’ which was perfect for the reluctant!”

    “Excellent session, real food for thought about how we can do things differently within the organisation.”

  • Let Crackerjack create a engaging visual record of your next meeting or event…

    CIPD Centenary Event 1.1

    Graphic recording is the live real-time creation of a large visual record of a meeting or event (such as the graphic recording created by Crackerjack at the CIPD Annual 2013 Meeting shown above).

    The power of graphic recording is in the fact the brain recalls information more effectively when stimulated with a visual image than simply words or lists. Graphic recording acts as aide memoir for those who attended the event and a guide to the meeting for those that weren’t there.

    To find out more and arrange for Crackerjack to graphic record at your next meeting or event, please call John Ashton on 0775 282 6227 or contact us here.
