Bringing First Aid Training to Life.
The British Red Cross approached Bearded Fellows to develop a visual learning solution that could simplify and humanise key training topics - from emotional resilience to field safety and inclusive communication.
Our goal was to strike the perfect balance between clarity and compassion: presenting vital information in a way that was visually compelling, respectful of real-life experiences, and accessible to a diverse workforce.
To achieve this, we designed a modular system of animations and short-form learning clips. Each video used distinctive visual storytelling, voiceovers, and animation techniques to make learning memorable and encourage long-term retention.
We collaborated closely with internal learning specialists to ensure the content reflected the organisation’s values of humanity, inclusivity, and care - while maintaining the educational precision required for professional development.
Results:
10 bespoke training videos designed for live workshops, online modules, email campaigns and platform integration.
Fully animated backgrounds and illustrated scenarios making future updates seamless.
Visual style and production quality elevated Red Cross Training’s brand presence and user-experience.
“This creative approach helped us capture human emotion while keeping the focus on education.”
- Samson Owolabi, Creative Director, Bearded Fellows
Precision in Production.
Bearded Fellows handled every stage of the production process, from concept development and scripting to final animation and delivery.
Our team coordinated 22 actors and tight production schedules, ensuring every module met accessibility and educational standards within the organisation.
This large-scale project required seamless collaboration, transparent communication, and expert project management. By maintaining an agile workflow and providing ongoing client visibility, we kept the production on deadline and on brand - delivering a polished and cohesive training experience.
Our visual direction focused on blending empathy with energy. Instead of relying on traditional instructional tone, we used character-led animation, vibrant colours, and clear storytelling to evoke emotion while maintaining professionalism.
We developed custom character designs to reflect the diversity and inclusivity of the British Red Cross workforce: from field responders and medical staff to volunteers and administrators. Every animation was guided by one key principle: make learning human.
Engaging Learners Through a Story-Driven Approach.

The final learning suite became a cornerstone of the British Red Cross’ digital training ecosystem - used across departments to support onboarding, skills development, and ongoing staff wellbeing initiatives.
The content:
Increased learner engagement and retention rates.
Strengthened internal communication consistency.
