At Tale Production we know you are the kind of person who wants to foster great innovation between the university and businesses.

In order to consistently achieve this, you need an approach that effectively communicates a KTP so businesses approach you or academics directly. The problem is by the time a business you have spoken to is ready, you are not top of mind, which makes you feel frustrated, as you know a KTP could accelerate their growth.
We believe all Knowledge exchange officers are a key step towards great innovation, so you shouldn’t have to be dealing with time-consuming outreach tasks.

We understand your ambition to drive UK innovation and collaboration. That’s why we created our approaches so you can effectively stay top of mind with both businesses and academics, so they start to come directly to you.

Here’s how it works:
1. On a call or in person we will ask you questions to identify your challenges,
2. Together we can create a few ideas based on those needs
3. And once you are happy we will create all the content, involving all the right stakeholders.

Schedule a call, so you can stop feeling overwhelmed by the lengthy outreach process with businesses and academics, for them to only forget or move on. And start harnessing greater innovation and collaboration that has real-world impact.

You still might be thinking?

I won’t know how to effectively use it once it’s completed:

We have guides to support you with distributing the content and will make sure that what we create is most suited to your marketing needs.

We have created videos before but it didn’t work:

We combat the issue of not aligning with the brand, complex messaging, and underutilising the content which typically means the content doesn’t perform as desired.

It’s probably going to be out of our budget anyway:

We have different options for different budgets and also find ways to capture additional content that can be used across future campaigns. So you budget goes further.
