Testimonials
I first approached Ryan Dre Sinclair to pen a piece for a communications campaign about Greater Birmingham and Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership’s (GBSLEP) contribution to inclusive and sustainable economic investment in the region. Undoubtedly this was a ‘wild card’ idea as I wanted to freshen up how we were communicating with the wider public through our channels. Coincidentally, we were also shaping a Young People’s Strategy and this commission was a living example of how we were supporting young people in a post-Covid era. Ryan did not disappoint. He listened and learned, probed, and questioned me to understand what we did as an organisation. With a clear vision in hand, we gave him the space to get his creative juices flowing. Throughout the process, Ryan consulted us to ensure his poetic license aligned with our corporate narrative. He also made himself available for filming as we wanted to share his feature to share on our channels. The poem was received well, and we showcased the video at our annual business conference in 2021 to help our stakeholders understand GBSLEP’s impactful work. Our positive experience prompted us to ask Ryan back to pen and perform a spoken word piece for our ‘From Vision To Legacy’ event, a final ode to the achievements of GBSLEP over the last 12 years in the West Midlands region. This time, Ryan not only recorded a captivating video but also delivered a stellar performance at our corporate event. He was a hit! Ryan’s calm personality, and strong work ethic shine through in every collaboration. It has been a pleasure working with him and I look forward to watching him grow. Anyone who can take a corporate narrative and bring it to life through spoken word is incredible.
