Our Impact
Title
Our impact is built through collaboration. We partner with organisations across the creative industries and local authorities including ScreenSkills, UWE Bristol, Media Cymru, WECA, and many more to contribute to research that drives meaningful change. From regional reports to sector wide insight, our work supports projects that contribute towards positive change across the creative landscape.
We are always open to new partnerships and are drawn to projects that ask questions, challenge norms and push the industry forward. If you are working on something that matters, we would love to explore how we can work together.
Our Work
Bristol Digital Cultures Research
Gritty Talent partnered with UWE Bristol’s Digital Cultures Research Centre to evolve the Go West! report into an interactive map of the Bristol and Bath TV and film sector. Serving as the bridge between academia and industry, we secured the participation of 100 freelancers to ensure the dataset was both robust and representative of the region's diverse workforce. By facilitating specialist focus groups, we provided the industry insights necessary to refine the map’s design and functionality. This collaboration successfully translated academic research into a practical, user-led resource that accurately reflects the scale and vibrancy of the South West’s creative economy.
FOCUS Diversity Audit
Gritty Talent partnered with UWE Bristol to connect with freelancers in the Bath and Bristol region for vital research being carried out on the TV and Film sector. Gritty led user-research focus groups and gathered vital data to inform the project
HETV School Roadshow
Funded by ScreenSkills’ (High-end TV) HETV Skills Fund and delivered in partnership with PACT, we launched a pioneering initiative to bridge the gap between Bristol’s local HETV sector and potential future talent. The HETV Careers Schools Roadshow introduced hundreds of Key Stage 3 pupils (aged 11-14), their teachers and their parents to the vast world of high-end TV through hands-on workshops and Q&As with top industry professionals. The roadshow highlighted the various job roles within the HETV sector that people may never have heard of, and particularly those currently experiencing skills shortages. It demystified the HETV sector and provided insight into the skills needed and the career paths available as well as showing students that a world-class career is actually available right on their doorstep in Bristol! To ensure a lasting legacy, we provided an online resource portal featuring career maps and educational pathways, alongside a short film capturing the programme in action. Following the success of this roadshow, we are proud to continue our ongoing collaboration with ScreenSkills on further training programs.
