Case studies

From raising clients’ profile through the media, to helping engage academic, industry and policy stakeholders, to building an online community through a social media campaign, Proof has been helping science, engineering and technology organisation communicate clearly about what they do since 2004.

Science Case Studies

ILL soap story achieves clean sweep in world media

Scientists from the Institute Laue-Langevin (ILL), the world’s flagship centre for neutron science, recently explained the origin of magnetism observed for the first time in a soap developed by chemists at Bristol University.

Making a noise about sound measurement

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL), the UK’s National Measurement Institute, provides measurement services to government and industry. Its acoustics team recently undertook a project to develop rapid mapping techniques for soundfields, to better understand how ‘dead spots’ are created by loudspeakers.

Shedding light on new research

Proof provides media relations support to the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), the world’s leading source of X-rays for studying matter

World’s smallest snowman makes big news

Proof was at the centre of the widely publicised ‘World’s Smallest Snowman’ campaign from the National Physical Laboratory this month.

Is this the end for electricity?

UK scientists have for the first time measured ‘magnetricity’ in materials. Researchers from the London Centre for Nanotechnology and STFC's ISIS Neutron and Muon Source have dusted off a 1930s theory and demonstrated that in some materials there is a magnetic equivalent of electricity.

Engineering Case Studies

Unaccustomed as I am….

Proof is helping VT Group, a FTSE 100 company, to build its profile with local authorities and public sector organisations.

Technology Case Studies

Placing higher education at the heart of industry

Proof helped launch the Open University’s two new undergraduate courses in computing and ICT to the IT industry. The brief was to position these new academic degrees as relevant and attuned to business needs.

Cyber Security Challenge UK

Proof was commissioned to build a social media strategy for the launch of the Cyber Security Challenge UK – a government-backed initiative to increase the number of home-grown cyber security professionals working in the UK. The target was to secure 200 registrations for the Challenge by the end of August 2010.

GPS signal conference well received

A Digital Systems Knowledge Transfer Network conference earlier this year investigated illegal jamming of GPS signals, examining the wider impact on satellite navigation systems and possible solutions. Proof was asked to raise awareness of the meeting through sensible, accurate media coverage avoiding overblown scare stories.
