Cloud Artisans

About the partnership

Cloud Artisans is a consultancy-led digital and engagement agenCloud Artisans is a consultancy-led digital and engagement agency, helping organisations build and run everything they need to connect with their audiences, from websites and hosting to campaigns, graphics and communications.

Its sister company, Brand Narrative Media, produces video. The team is led by Emrys Green, Chair of the Institute of Leadership, with Olivia Wyatt leading projects and George Clarke on design and development. Much of its work involves young people, from careers campaigns with youth advisory boards to creative mentoring.

Always Possible and Cloud Artisans have worked together on a rolling basis since early 2018, combining our research, strategy and engagement with their digital and design skills. Emrys is also part of our associate network.

For Culture Chelmsford and the Museum of Chelmsford, we co-designed a youth-led campaign with Spark!, the city’s youth board, inviting local people to say what the museum should collect and represent. We ran the workshops with young people and partners, and Cloud Artisans turned what they told us into the campaign’s visual identity, social media content and toolkit, keeping it bold and playful without ever being tokenistic.

We’re currently working together on two more projects. For Future Creators, Cloud Artisans is designing a set of large-format infographics that tell the story of Coastal Catalyst, a programme opening up creative opportunities for young people on the Sussex coast, drawing on the case studies and evidence we’ve gathered. And on Be Business Energy Wise, Cloud Artisans is helping us reach and recruit East Sussex businesses for practical workshops on cutting energy use and costs.

They’re also the team behind the Always Possible website.
