Reprezent Essex x NHS - A Case Study by Break CommunicationsStephen Oakes
We’ve worked with Reprezent London on and off over recent years, so we were ecstatic when they brought us in to help deliver Reprezent Essex - a sister station to the capital's leading youth-led radio station - in collaboration with the NHS. The aim? To broaden awareness of mental health in young people, most of which were unsure of how to get support and learn more about the topic.
Working with Reprezent’s head of partnerships and content Kate Jaggers, project manager Alex Mashti, and some of the London-based presenters, we immersed ourselves within the county’s youth ecosystem, using relevant culture, language and insight, we engaged influencers to help us launch the station, recruited young people for 3 radio production training courses across the county, and delivered a series of events. Reprezent Essex was launched as a space where the county’s young people could campaign on important social matters in their own way, often leading the conversation by themselves setting the agenda and broadcasting packages exploring mental health and its facets on air.
ChorSymphonica is a professional, project-based ensemble of musicians drawn from across the Mid-Atlantic region and beyond. Nearly all of our musicians have earned graduate degrees in vocal performance. Every one of our members are dedicated to using their artistic life to improve the lives of others, to inspire others to a more complete point of view, reaching out to audiences with our music making through our concerts. This purpose guides and directs every rehearsal and every concert.
