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
