🚨 New Series Alert 🚨 Our creative team have truly been cooking over the last few months, and we’re finally ready to share it with you all… 🧑🍳 Allow us to present our new video project, Climate+ The theme for this series is intersectionality — it’s a word that is crucial to both understanding the causes and devising effective solutions to the climate crisis. We’ve teamed up with the good folks at Oxfam to create a five-part series all about the links between climate change and other issues like gender, conflict, class, colonialism, and health. We’ll be releasing five episodes weekly over the course of the next five weeks, with the first launching on Monday 8 July. You can watch the full episodes on Instagram or our YouTube channel: https://lnkd.in/eUtCxuEn Tap the images below to find out what each episode of Climate+ is about, and leave a comment below about which one you’re looking forward to the most! 💬 Huge shout-out to our video editor Paolina Stefani for editing the series and graphic designer Josephine Choy for creating the beautiful series artwork! 👏 🎨 #climatechange #videoproduction #creativestudio #digitalcontent

Wake up babe, a new East London graphic designer's portfolio just dropped... Long overdue website update – couple of throwbacks and a few fresh out of the Earthrise Studio oven. Had loads of fun (and agony) building this - you truly are your toughest client. Check it out at josephinechoy.com (makes for great procrastination if you're doom scrolling)

Last week we published the final episode of Climate +, the latest Earthrise Originals project I’ve been series producing, all about how the climate crisis intersects with social justice. Check it out here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dUbx5AuU This last episode was about colonialism, focusing on the continued extraction of the Amazon Rainforest, and it was a pleasure to include activist Pavel Martiarena Huaman from Madre de Dios in the Peruvian Amazon. It felt pretty full circle for me to revisit the region (remotely!) having reported there myself back in 2022 about gold mining — see the pic below where I had the privilege of interviewing environmental defender Victor Zambrano. If you like this episode, make sure you check out Earthrise Studio on Instagram to watch the other four episodes. Thank you to our friends at Oxfam who commissioned this series, and to Ellie G. and Max Van Woerkom who supported us all the way, especially on this last episode where it was incredibly important to get the tone right. It’s safe to say the topic resonated with our audiences given the episode has had over 200k views (and counting!!). Thank you the other activists who we interviewed for the series (Fraser Stewart, Joy Koech, Ashley Lashley and Watan Mohammed) who spoke about their lived experience on how climate change impacts gender equality, conflict, social class and health. As ever - a huge shout out to the wonderful Earthrise team who have worked so hard on this for the last (5!) months.

🌍 It’s hard to believe it’s coming up to a year since I joined Earthrise Studio as their new Social Media Producer — here are 10 reasons why I’ve loved this role: Relished the opportunity to communicate the climate crisis, Encountered challenges that pushed me beyond my comfort zone, Dedicated to teamwork and collaboration with an amazing group, Unveiled new skills and strengths I never knew I had, Nurtured professional relationships that will last a lifetime, Driven by purpose, and a shared vision for the future, Always inspired by the creativity and innovation around me, Navigating life at an ever-evolving start-up, Cherished the support and mentorship from my peers, Yes, this whole thing is an acrostic poem. Sadly, for reasons beyond my control my journey at Earthrise is coming to an end. 🤯 Having my role made redundant was definitely not on my 2024 bingo card, but hey — life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get. 💔 To be honest, I’m pretty heartbroken to be leaving this company. I’m so proud of everything I've learned and achieved as the Social Media Producer as well as the incredible client projects we've delivered as a team. 🔎 Now, it’s time to lock in and search for my next role — I’m on the hunt for exciting opportunities in the realm of Digital Communications and Social Content Strategy. ✉️ Please do send any relevant links my way! #redundancy #opentowork #digitalcommunications #socialmedia

What’s “the opposite of sticking your head in the sand” when it comes to environmental action, where does storytelling come into it and why is the dinner table a great place for climate conversations?

That’s a wrap on another Earthrise Originals project! Over the last month or so, we’ve been publishing weekly episodes of Climate+, our brand new digital content series created in partnership with Oxfam GB. The folks at Oxfam came to us earlier this year with an awesome brief — to create a five-part series to introduce their audience to some of the key issues that intersect with climate change including gender equality, conflict, social class, health, and colonialism. To say it’s been a hit would be an understatement! So far, the episodes have racked up a whopping 400,000 views (and counting), and we’ve achieved more than 750,000 impressions across the digital impact campaign. There’s a reason we’re celebrating these metrics — they’re a sign that this content is travelling beyond our audience and reaching people who need to hear its message! Climate+ has been a true labour of love, spanning a team across two organisations, and interviews with activists across more than 4 continents. We couldn’t be prouder of the team effort that went into this project and want to shout-out everyone who was involved in the production: Executive Producer & Presenter: Joi Lee Executive Producer: Alice Aedy Series Producer: Izzy Sasada Script Writer: Asher Isbrucker Series Editor: Paolina Stefani Art Direction and Motions Graphics: Josephine Choy Social Editor: Marley Gibbons-Balfour Social Media Producer: Hassan Raja Line Producer: Chloe Puttock Oxfam Producer: Ellie G. Oxfam Social Media Producer: Max Van Woerkom We also want to say a huge thank you to the wonderful activists we interviewed for the series: Joyce Koech, Fraser Stewart, Ashley Lashley, Watan Mohammed, and Pavel Martiarena. Finally, another huge thank you to Oxfam for the commission and support during the production — we can’t wait to work with you again!

New worlds are possible, but we must have the courage to imagine them. We must shake off the shackles of destructive ‘old world’ practices, and begin to build a more equitable, smarter, green world for everyone and for the planet, argues Jeff Goodell in a new article for CNN titled ‘We Built Our World For A Climate That No Longer Exists’. We’re seeing the deadly impacts of climate all over the globe, with record breaking heat, devastating natural disasters, and more – but we’re also seeing incredible community resilience and climate action as we collectively redesign our world.

When the environment thrives, so do we! 🌱 Here’s why we need to pay closer attention to the link between human wellbeing and the health of our planet. Welcome to Ep. 4 of Climate+, our new five-part series all about the intersectionality of climate change and social justice, created in partnership with Oxfam. This week we’re exploring planetary health — the idea that human wellbeing in the long term is dependent on the wellbeing of the earth including living and nonliving systems. We speak to Ashley Lashley, a climate activist and teacher from Barbados who has created a platform to educate people on the role climate change has played in making disease outbreaks more frequent in their home country and beyond. We're so proud of how this episode came together - all credit goes to the incredible creative and editorial teams working their magic behind the scenes to bring this project to life!
