completely new. And you are reacting accordingly. Many impact organisations are dealing with the unforeseen cancellations of events, campaigns and film shoots. There's no manual for navigating communication efforts at this moment. No organisation has it all figured out. As your creative & production partner, MAKMENDE is dedicated to helping you adapt your existing campaigns, find new ways of working and reinvent your storytelling. We get many questions about postponed campaigns and cancelled shoots. How to shoot during lockdowns? How to work with crews remotely? How to gather footage from people and projects on the ground?
