In April 2005, Benjamin made a documentary for BBC Radio 4 about ACE, a financially struggling veterinary charity in Egypt.
The programme featured no presenter, no celebrity endorser, no bells or whistles, just the passionate and honest voices of those who worked for the charity. The response was staggering, allowing ACE to pay off their bills and buy land for a new centre.
Benjamin started playing with the idea of forming a company that would use the impact of storytelling to provoke change.
A chance meeting with photojournalist David White led to many conversations about how to make that idea a reality. The internet afforded Benjamin and David the opportunity to showcase their combination of powerful imagery and documentary audio.
Three years later, in late 2008, duckrabbit was born.
Now duckrabbit works with documentary audio, still photography and video to create compelling stories for clients across the broadcast, charity and commercial sectors. Alongside our multimedia work and radio documentaries we also train journalists, organisations and companies in audio-visual storytelling and online strategic communications.
