Client Testimonials

What clients say about working with Ruth

“Ruth Coalson successfully project-managed two pilot outreach initiatives developed by the Royal Observatory Greenwich education team, focusing on raising science capital in young people across the Greenwich area, one for the UK Space agency and one for Disney. These projects combined hands-on astronomy activities in schools and community centres, as well as the development of an educational digital experience for classrooms.

Throughout both projects, Ruth was exceptional at keeping everything on track, coordinating with multiple stakeholders and making sure everyone had the support they needed. Her caring and collaborative approach, combined with her deep knowledge and professionalism, made the entire process smooth and effective. I would love to work with Ruth again on future projects and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled and dedicated project manager."

“Extraordinary.

Ruth Coalson truly is the definition of the word. Her knowledge of the fulldome and planetarium industry is vast and encyclopedic. From specific technical details, to valuable creative insights, to deep marketing knowledge - and don’t even get us started on who she knows.

Seriously… she knows everybody in the business, and we’re pretty sure she knows everything there is to know about fulldomes and planetariums. And… she is one of the most generous, fun and funny people we have ever had the pleasure to work with.

No matter what you may want to do in the full dome or planetarium world, you definitely want Ruth on your team.”

“This year has certainly seen many highs and lows in the world of Creative Futures but as I reflect back and look at how far we have come, all I can see is significant growth and development.

This could not have happened without our amazing team - Kirk, Elenore, Holly and Chris but especially working with industry experts like Ruth Coalson. Ruth joined us in January as Fundraising Entrepreneur in Residence, bringing a wealth of experience in bidwriting, project development as well as industry intelligence and future technology.

With her guidance we have worked together on several successful funding bids such as the GAIN project and strategic aims with a focus on CreaTech at University of Warwick. I am so grateful to have Ruth as an extension of our team as her insights and industry knowledge are second to none!”

“Ruth has been an invaluable consultant throughout the development of the project. From the outset, she played a pivotal role in helping us navigate the specialist world of 360° film and immersive experiences, connecting us with projection and film companies who could bring our vision to life.

Her expertise has significantly increased our confidence in the mobile planetarium sector, helping us better understand the technical requirements, equipment, and practical considerations needed to deliver a successful project. Ruth has worked collaboratively to ensure our creative ambitions could be effectively translated into a compelling 360° experience.

What truly sets Ruth apart is her proactive and supportive approach. She consistently met challenging deadlines, anticipated our needs, and provided thoughtful guidance both in scheduled meetings and through ad hoc conversations. She also organised valuable test days, giving our team hands-on experience of the dome environment and technology, which proved instrumental in shaping our plans.

Ruth brings a wonderful combination of professionalism, expertise, and warmth to everything she does. Her bubbly personality and collaborative spirit have made her an absolute pleasure to work with, and her support during procurement and the early stages of content development has been indispensable. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ruth to anyone looking to create innovative and impactful immersive experiences.”
