Extended Practice: Reaching Out to Companies

In every crit, I am advised to send my adverts to companies who are known to have road safety campaigns. Since I have now finished my animations, I so far, have sent my work to two well known companies, 'Think! Road Safety' and 'ROSPA'.


I chose 'Think! Road Safety' first, because I used them in my dissertation as one of my case studies and feel like they are a really great company to contact. I also found on their website that they are actively looking for people to get involved with, so I immediately sent them an email and attached all three of my animations.

Hopefully I will hear back from them.


The next company I contacted was 'ROSPA', another very well established company, but one that was advised to me by Mike. Again, they are also looking for partners, so I sent them an email too and I wonder if they will get back to me.


Even if they don't, it was a great chance for me to try and get my animations out there. I have already shown them to my target audience so I do feel fulfilled as it is, but if I hear back from these companies too, then I will be even more pleased! I will keep looking for companies who offer road safety campaigns to see if maybe they would be interested too!

UPDATE:


Saoirce from 'Think!' got back to me saying that she couldn't share my videos because they are in their 'pre-election period' which I completely forgot about! But since her response was positive and she did say 'at the moment'... I will definitely be following this up in a few months so I am still hopeful!
