It has been seven, (going on eight) years, since we launched Nu Visual Media. Our intention then was to build a company which would be renowned for quality, professionalism and reliability. It was a simple goal. Back then we were focused on creating content for social media; we could see its rise happening in real time and we wanted to be ahead of the curve. Our pitch was to create compelling content and build our clients’ social media presence and profile. This never quite worked for us.
Instead, we landed a contract producing daily newscasts for a local publishing house. This was the first evolution. We became serious news producers delivering on tight daily deadlines with countless checks and double checks for accuracy. We look back on this as our training days, as a lot of what we grew into then would define us later in our journey.
This work raised our profile and eventually we began to attract other corporate clients; we had evolved again, into more than just a news media company.
Our first foray into regional media production was with Sol Caribbean, which meant reaching out to our contacts in Jamaica to pull the project together. We didn’t know it then, but that would become a major part of our next evolution into a regional media powerhouse.
As we grew, more regional work began to pour in. We’ve travelled around the Caribbean with the United Nations Development Programme, reporting on the work they are doing to empower communities across the region in the fight against climate change. We’ve visited St. Vincent and the Grenadines to create a gender relations teaching tool for secondary schools, and travelled to Soufriere St. Lucia with a team from the Caribbean Development Bank to document the coral restoration story and the community work being done there.
Even before the Covid-19 Pandemic struck, we had begun our latest evolution. For the past three years or so Nu Visual Media has been working with clients all over the world to help sensitise the public about the climate crisis facing our planet. In 2019, we hosted a team from the Green Climate Fund, which visited Barbados to highlight the need for global support for climate mitigation actions being carried out in small island states.
In 2020, we were chosen to film a segment of the Women In Renewable Energy (W.I.R.E) series for the Clinton Foundation when their film team was unable to fly to Barbados due to the pandemic. Later that year, we beat out companies from around the world to win the Media Consultant contract with The NDC Partnership, a multi-national organisation dedicated to Climate Action.
We now produce media outputs from all over the world, from Peru to Burkina Faso.
We consider ourselves heavily involved in the climate battle, lending our talents for imagery and storytelling to the arsenal of climate activists.
Throughout all of these evolutions our goals have still remained the same, and quite possibly it is because Nu Visual Media has garnered a reputation for quality, professionalism and reliability, that we have been able to evolve.
