7. 2: Create Opportunities to
Include AV Content in Curation
• Performed a pilot with MarComms team on feasibility of
using AV materials
• Feasibility is there, but not all content providers equally at
ease with content use, so consultations - via expert hubs -
always recommended
• Further research encouraged into attitudes towards content
sharing amongst content partners
