Consultancy and Campaign Collaborations
Whether its behind the scenes as a consultant, or a national public cobranded campaign Sarah has decades of experience creating Gentle Protest and craftivism campaigns and activities that have successfully met the clients objectives as well as often helping campaign organisations look at their strategy from different angles to gain fresh perspectives to help create robust campaigns. Some of our campaigns have won national UK awards chosen by experts in activism or voted for by the general public and our ways of work continue to influence clients in their future campaign strategies. Highlights include:
Collaborating with Girlguiding UK on the many activities and resources for their new craftivism badge. This included overseeing and consulting on their campaigning badge to compliment not conflict or duplicate any content. The new badge gained national media attention across the UK.
Public collaboration with ShareAction campaigning for Marks and Spencer to pay the Living Wage. This campaign led to winning the SMK Economic Justice Award 2017 (see image) chosen by activism experts. Celebrating the best change-makers and the most successful campaigns through SMK's annual National Campaigner Awards: "Our interest is in finding those who have made change happen – most effectively, creatively, and courageously. This is a joint Award for Lisa Nathan and Sarah Corbett, who have both campaigned successfully for the uptake of the Living Wage.”
Our co-branded national campaign with Save the Children led to being shortlisted forArts & Culture Award (Runner Up) issued by Observer Ethical Awards 2013 which rewards individuals and organisations promoting ethical living. It is the highest profile event of its kind in the UK. The judging panel consisted of leading figures across science, culture and business, including Livia Firth, creative director of Eco Age & co-founder of The Green Carpet Challenge; James Wong, TV Presenter and Ethnobotanist; VW Brown, singer and model and Paralympian Martine Wright.
Ben and Jerrys partnered with The Climate Coalition and asked me to create a large scale London event to attract people to attend who had never gone to a climate march before. Our multi-sensory event with three separate activities in different rooms attracted over a hundred people anxious of activism to take part and learn about the importance of marches for social change and how they take part safely. I loved seeing many of them the following weekend attend their first ever climate march, with both caution and courage and feeling part of something larger than themselves.
Clients also include Unicef, Scouting, Mind: the mental health charity, RESULTS UK, Christian Aid, Liberty, Amnesty International, Tearfund amongst others.
