    Zing Award News

    In 2023, we worked in partnership with Kineo to create a training campaign for SafetyOn, the health and safety organisation for the onshore wind sector. Well, we are delighted to share the news that the campaign has won, not one, but TWO awards: ‘Campaign of the Year’ at the IOSH Scotland Awards and the ‘Positive Improvement Award’ at the Scottish Green Energy Awards.

  • Overcoming Dismissive Attitutes to Health & Safety

    When we talk about health and safety at work, it can sometimes be a challenge to overcome dismissive attitudes. H&S can be perceived as bureaucratic or condescending … ‘health and safety gone mad!’

  • World Menopause Day

    World Menopause Day

    13 million women are currently peri- or post-menopausal in the UK. That’s approximately one-third of the entire female population. Despite this, menopause is still something of a taboo, so we were delighted to work on a film about menopause in the workplace with Thriving’s Mark Mulligan in conversation with Kate Muir, author of a book on the subject and producer of Davina McCall’s menopause documentaries.

    Making it look easy isn’t as easy as it looks . . . (especially during a global pandemic)

    At Zing, we love making films. It’s so rewarding to apply our creative process to clients’ objectives - delivering their message in an exciting and engaging way, whilst making the whole process as painless as possible for them.

    But what goes on behind the scenes?

    We’re all learning and adapting as we go in this strange new world, so we’re happy to share some insights and tips from a recent project …

  • Behind the Mask

    Behind the Mask

    Last week we started filming again. It was good to get back to work, even if it was far from ‘business as usual’ with facemasks & social distancing (etc) being the order of the day. A key part of my role as producer is to make sure that everyone feels relaxed and comfortable. Of course, this is still a worrying time and returning to work is a cause of anxiety for many, so it’s more important than ever to be sensitive to people’s wellbeing.

    Be Kind. To Yourself.

    It’s now nearly two months since lockdown started.

    The Milk of Human Kindness

  • "What was that you said?” How to make learning and development more memorable.

    A significant number of the programmes that Zing produce are for organisations who are committed to learning, so it would be a bit weird if as a team we weren’t committed to our own development. We do like to practice what we preach …
