Welcome to Drawnalism
Drawnalism was created by Alex Hughes and Matthew Buck in 2009, to capture information in engaging visual formats.
Drawnalism offers three services: In the Moment, at which Drawnalists work live and in person to create a paper or digital record of conferences and other events; On the Air, at which Drawnalists work live but from distance to create a digital record of online events and calls; and At the Studio, at which Drawnalists offer a comprehensive portfolio of video, branding, line-art, and graphic work.
Over ten years, Drawnalism has been contracted by the EU, government departments, companies, public sector organisations, charities, and academic, medical and public health bodies to deliver its services.
Based on this experience, we have also been able to develop a ‘before, during and after’ package for events and projects. This creates consistent branding, promotes anticipation, captures speeches, presentations and audience engagement, and outputs valuable collateral for reports, online communications and social media.
We are happy to talk to project and event organisers about any combination of our services, and to engage with agencies on behalf of clients. To find out more about our services and current projects, please explore the website, and to see how we could help you, contact us now.
In the Moment
In the Moment was the first service that Drawnalism developed and is the one that it is known for best. Drawnalists work live and in person to create a paper or digital record of a conference or meeting that can be displayed on the day, to support audience engagement, and then used on social media and post event follow up.
On the Air
On the Air is the service that Drawnalism developed for the evolving world of digital engagement, calls, webinars and podcasts. Drawnalists work live, using video or audio streaming, or as live, from digital recordings, to capture content and audience engagement. This delivers the social and follow up benefits of In the Moment; but is easier and cheaper to commission.
At the Studio
At the Studio is Drawnalism’s portfolio of branding, line-art, graphic and video services, that can be used before, during and after a project or event, or commissioned as a standalone service. Drawnalism can also offer ‘Animated Drawnalism’ At the Studio to create animated content for social sharing, or work with professional associates to create long-form videos for projects of all kinds.
Earlier this year, Drawnalism were invited to draw at the Annual Meeting of the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action in Panama City.
