Visual note-taking, live scribing, and live illustration
Our immersive illustration experiences help community-sensitive brands become the go-to choice for their audience, and authority in their industry. We achieve this by eradicating barriers to engagement, through commercially-viable solutions, which place audiences at the centre.
Buttercrumble has performed visual note-taking, scribing and live illustration across a range of industries from retail to energy, health technology to media. We help organisations to educate, engage, and sell to their audiences.
What is visual note-taking?
Visual research is essential for public engagement, aiding learning and understanding. We can document participants' insights through illustration. Ensuing this, we can curate visual records into a valuable report or resource for stakeholders and clients.
Firstly, we create a background template. This helps to brand the exercise and keep it unique to you.
We then watch the event, and capture concepts and discussions.
Finally, the illustration is saved and documented. It can be accessed later to share with stakeholders.
Case-study: UKCoaching
Campaign Design and Live Illustration
Buttercrumble supported UK Coaching with their #GreatCoaching campaign. The aim of the campaign is to celebrate the transformative power of coaching and explore how #GreatCoaching can build happier and healthier communities. Through this, they engaged stakeholders and members at their conferences and social media.
Resources and case-studies
“I just wanted to thank you for all the help today. I think it went fantastic. It’s a testament to your capacity to create the perfect atmosphere where people feel comfortable enough to share their drawings. One of the participants asked me, in fact, to tell you that you were “really calming and made her feel good to talk honestly about her experience”.”
Public engagement
Public engagement can guarantee project and organisational success. It can bolster transparency, trust, and understanding in audiences. This is something we’ve achieved for HEI such as the University of Edinburgh and retail brands like Anthropologie.
Creative workshops are a valuable public engagement tool as they eradicate barriers to engagement. Visuals are universal and enable self-expression.
We can organise and conduct virtual or in-person workshops to small groups or larger audiences. Our priority is to meet your organisation’s unique needs whilst creating a productive and welcoming environment for participants.
Live illustration and personalisation
We can activate your organisation through experiential marketing and "retailtainment". We believe in the value of making guests, consumers, bloggers or VIPs feel special through surprising activities.
Give your guests something they can take away and shout about with our live illustration and personalisation.
From customer portraits to personalised packaging, we can work with you to create a unique experience that fits your brands' needs perfectly. This is something we have achieved for John Lewis, Meadowhall, and Seasalt Cornwall.

Public speaking and exchange
We have been invited to be speakers, panelists, and lecturers at leading events and institutions. We love to spread our knowledge about entrepreneurship and creativity.
We regularly present at Higher Education Institutes such as the University of Leeds, York St John University and Leeds Arts University. We’ve also shared our experiences at world-class arts organisations including the MIMA (Middlesbrough), Bonhams and the Business Design Centre in London.
Since 2017, we have been advocates for the BIPC at The British Library, Saturday Club Trust, and IPSE.
Don’t just take our word for it..
Picture this: you're attending another conference, surrounded by the who’s-who of the corporate world, listening to speaker after speaker. You begin to drift off and – before you know it – your attention span has taken an impromptu holiday…
