Classlane Media
Classlane Media is a leading company in innovative media production. Now in their third decade, Classlane provide video and film content for promotional programmes and social media use. Though the company are based in a prime location for Hull, York and Leeds, Classlane Media serves much more than the Yorkshire region. The company also have a central London office and work with clients on an international scale.
The launch of new interactive media devices in recent years have rewritten the rules for engaging with audiences. Video content now accounts for a third of all web traffic - a figure which is constantly growing. With this in mind, Classlane Media constantly ensure they are at the forefront of industry developments.
Their efforts in doing this see them combine award-winning production with social media expertise to ensure clients have the best possible chances of connecting with their clients.
Classlane Media have won awards at the Royal Television Society Awards for the last four consecutive years for their production and promotion work.
Classlane recognise the need to be on the constant lookout for new talent and have been working with schools in the city to provide first-hand experience to pupils with an interest in the media production industry.
Kirsty Beasley from Classlane Media, said: "The enthusiasm we see from pupils who come to work with us is incredible. Recognising young talent and the new ideas they bring to the industry is central to the success of businesses like ours. Classlane are really pleased to be able to offer an insight into the work we do to the next generation of media experts.
"Hull is renowned in the industry as a media hub which is largely down to the focus on industry developments in education here. Pupils are experiencing things like social media and film production from an early age in school right up to university where Hull has some of the best academic opportunities in the country with a fully working television studio.
"Pupils today are at an age where they have grown up with new media. This 'Facebook generation' tells us these are the individuals that naturally adapt to a rapidly changing media environment and will go on to become industry experts. Classlane are proud to be part of this and our apprenticeships and work experience opportunities try to reach out to those young people in the best way we can - by giving them direct hands-on experience."
