KTP Awards

The Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) commissioned a series of short films to be showcased during their annual KTP Awards ceremony. Each video highlighted a winning KTP project, detailing the collaboration between a university, a business, and a KTP associate. Designed for dual use, the videos not only enhanced the awards event but also served as engaging promotional content for attracting future associates and partner organisations online.

To tell the full story of each project, Aura Films conducted interviews with three key voices: the academic supervisor from the university, the KTP associate placed within the business, and a representative from the business itself. This approach provided a well-rounded perspective on each project’s goals, outcomes, and real-world impact.

Filming took place on location at each participating business—many of which were visually compelling due to their focus on technical or product innovation. By capturing the teams in action, such as at the iconic Tiptree Jam factory, we were able to provide both live ceremony audiences and online viewers with a vivid, tangible sense of each project’s value.

For the awards event, these real stories added a personal and meaningful connection, especially as many of the interviewees were present in the room. The final videos blended authenticity, technical insight, and cinematic visuals to effectively communicate the unique achievements of each KTP, making the series both informative and inspiring for multiple audiences.
