November has been a whirlwind of activity – quick turnarounds on a new brand and website for a health tech company; bespoke training on crisis comms and media engagement; three union conferences; and plans to tackle methane abatement and to boost democracy. Our team have put their comms talents to the test!
Sapphiros is redefining global health through high-performance testing technologies that deliver rapid, reliable results. This month, they had a new brand, narrative and website to help build visibility and credibility for their next stage of growth, thanks to Becky S, Becky A, Duncan, Dana and Sarah.
Having supported BALPA’s comms team recruitment, induction and new strategy, Matt, Vic and Naomi were delighted to attend the union’s annual conference in Heathrow. With campaigns around fatigue and car parking, the new team is off to a flying start!
The vital role that methane measurement and abatement play in tackling climate change was the focus of a special event in Brussels, hosted by MAMII and co-organised by Becky and Mark Watts. They were joined by EU representatives, industry and environmental NGOs for an in-depth discussion and technology showcase.
How can union reps share great stories for the media? Adi, Matt and Vic ran a quick survey on vacancy rates at SoR annual conference to show how local information can build a national picture – and we celebrated excellent headlines calling for sonographers to be registered professionals.
As ever, we’re thinking hard about how to hold the powerful to account. To help with this, Becky S and Philippe conducted media discourse analysis which showed that when it comes to the topic of democracy, fairness and justice are emotional triggers for progressives while duty and continuity inspire conservatives.
In comms, we know it's better to plan for the worst rather than hope for the best. This month we helped Mission 44 with crisis comms training and the Association of Educational Psychologists with engaging politicians and the media.
What does the Employment Rights Bill mean for unions? Matt and Vic joined clients past, present and future at a Unions 21 event to learn how unions are preparing for new access rights.
Our work supporting Nautilus’s new website saw Vic, Matt and Duncan lead workshops to map out the union’s member journeys, looking at why, when and how members join, renew and get active.
PR specialist Catherine Cooper secured coverage for Tree of Hope, with the BBC and local media reporting on some heroic fundraising activities in support of children with disabilities.
