Dan Bryant, host and Founder and Creative Director at dmb films said:

“Reel Impact is about getting under the skin of how people actually communicate at work,

“Our guests aren’t promoting campaigns or polishing case studies; they’re sharing the real moments that changed how they lead, communicate and make decisions.

“If you work in comms, creative or people development, you’ll hear things that spark ideas, challenge assumptions and help you rethink how you tell your organisation’s story.

“The guests bring real stories - the challenges, the lessons learned, and the ideas that move organisations forward.

“I have no doubt that for many these conversations will feel familiar, useful and refreshingly honest.”

Designed for communications, creative and people-focused professionals, Reel Impact provides practical takeaways, fresh perspectives and a closer look at how leaders are building connection and culture in fast-changing workplaces.

Series 2 is already in planning, with an expanded line-up of voices from across the creative, corporate and public sectors.
