What is visual scribing?

Our global network of expert scribes captures the big ideas of meetings, workshops, and events in real-time—creating inspiring visuals that drive understanding and action.

    Ensures important insights, decisions, and themes are documented and remembered.

Our process

From brief to brilliance

  1. Understand the need

    We begin with a quick briefing to learn about your goals, audience, and content—so we know exactly what to capture.

  2. Plan the logistics

    We handle the practical details—booking travel, aligning with your event tech team, and getting the right tools in place.

  3. Deliver the scribing

    Our scribes work live—on-site or remotely—to capture insights and ideas in real time, using physical or digital formats.

  4. Share the outputs & refine

    You’ll receive high-resolution digital files ready to share. For physical boards, you keep the originals—ideal for office walls or post-event follow-up.

  5. Amplify & share

    We can help you get the most from your visuals—whether that’s repurposing them for reports, social media, or follow-up workshops.

Speak to the team

  • Ludic Media Studio were able to turn complex theoretical concepts into lively illustrations, which is very different from the usual communication tactics and added the ‘wow’ factor to our event and post-event assets. It was great collaborating and we look forward to collaborating again.

    Megilia WanAnalyst, World Bank Group

  • Ludic Media Studio's illustrations helped us document our workshops in a fun, engaging and memorable way, giving us content that is great for future presentations and communications. The team is super responsive, both before, during and after delivery. Highly recommend.

    Cary NombelaGCO Programme Director, Imperial Brands

  • Ludic Media Studio provided incredible visuals that helped promote our work on social media and in newsletters. It’s been a delight to work with Ludic Media Studio and we recommend them with great confidence.

    Sureena SohalProject Manager, The Energy Institute, The University of Birmingham

  • It is always a pleasure collaborating with Ludic Media Studio. The whole process is seamless, from initial planning to implementation. Ludic Media Studio provides us with excellent visual summaries of presentations at our conferences, which are always a hit with the attendees and the speakers. We also use the visuals to summarize the content in a wrap up, which is much more engaging than sharing slides. We highly recommend having Ludic Media Studio at your conferences and events.
