We love getting out and about to meet with our fantastic clients, whether it’s to plot future campaigns, discuss current projects or to attend industry events and workshops.

Earlier this week, three of our talented team headed south to Birmingham for a planning meeting with McLaughlin & Harvey.

The construction and civil engineering specialists are working on a range of exciting schemes and developments at the moment, and we came away from the meeting feeling inspired and enthused about how we can help them reach their target audiences and tell their unique stories.

Director Victoria Richardson, Account Director Rachel Ferguson, and Senior PR Account Manager Richard Evans even found time to say hello to Ozzy the Bull – an iconic landmark at Birmingham New Street Station which had previously starred at the 2022 Commonwealth Games which were held in the city.

It was great to be involved again this year with Friends of Rosie and their Easter fundraising. Vic was super excited to win such a lovely Easter egg. 💖

Wow, what an Easter of fundraising!

Our huge thanks to everyone who hosted a Friends of Rosie Easter egg raffle. Together you raised an eggcellent £3,500!

An amazing effort especially given that many are currently also fundraising to support the Ukrainian humanitarian crisis.

Here’s a selection of our lucky Easter egg winners. We hope you enjoyed all that delicious chocolate courtesy of Slattery's 😋

Every penny raised will help us fund more children’s cancer research helping save and change the lives of children with cancer. 🎗

Do you think TikTok is just an app for dancing teenagers? Think again! 🎵

TikTok has become a globally used platform that brands have utilised to market their products towards the younger demographic. Brands such as Ryanair have dominated the space and have shown that quick and relatable content resonates with their audience (typically aged 16-24) as they received 31 million views on a piece of unplanned content that took minutes to create in their office!

Users of TikTok respond extremely well to short funny clips that raise brand awareness, as opposed to a hard sell of a product. This was highlighted in TikTok's campaign where they told businesses "Don't make ads, make TikTok's." 📱

Do you have any favourite TikTok content creators or brands that have broken away from traditional 'ads' on the platform? Let us know!

📣 Last year Instagram allegedly told content creators that 8 to 15 hashtags are optimal. Now, Instagram ( ) has stated that 3 to 5 is the optimal amount of hashtags for your content! The advice from Instagram itself is that you should look to add 3 to 5 highly relevant hashtags to reach the right communities.

Yet, the team from Later.com recently analyzed more than 18 million Instagram feed posts (not including video, Reels or Stories) with a view to measuring optimal hashtag usage for driving engagement and reach. Later’s study shows that posts with 20 hashtags see the highest average reach rate, while those with 30 hashtags are not too far behind.

How many hashtags will you use on your posts from now on? Let us know in the comments! 👇

Throughout March, we are celebrating Women's History Month. We think this quote by the American Poet, Maya Angelou highlights the importance of women supporting each other. 🤝

Women's History Month is the perfect opportunity to show gratitude for historic women, so we have a few ideas on how to celebrate! 👇

✨ Support Female Entrepreneurs - Only 7% of CEOs on the fortune 500 list today are female.
✨ Read Books By Female Authors.
✨ Listen to Podcasts - Only 21% of Top-Charting Shows Have a Female Host.
✨ Get Inspired By Women in Business.
✨ Watch TED Talks By Women - Explore incredible talks from thought-provoking women.

How many of these tasks will you do this month? 🙌 Let us know in the comments below.

Is there anything more satisfying than a well thought out Instagram grid?

The aligned colours, images and videos all working in perfect harmony - it's good for the soul. ✨

But what happens when you make a mistake and your grid is no longer looking it's best? Currently the only solution is to delete the post and start over. However, if you have engagements on the post such as likes, comments and shares this is not always an option. 😩

Things may change as Instagram experiments with new features such as giving users the ability to rearrange their grid or pin their best performing post to the top.

Nothing has been decided yet but watch this space....👀

This could provide more capacity to manage how profile visitors view your IG content.

To celebrate our long standing client Duerr's 140th anniversary, our talented PR and Social Media teams came up with a collaboration campaign for Duerr’s to join forces with Manchester-based brewer and beer brand SEVEN BRO7HERS BREWERY to create a Marmalade beer. 🍊🍺

The campaign ran for three months with full channel reach across website, social media, media relations and influencer outreach.

Product focused imagery and video content was created featuring the beer and the all important Manchester Marmalade.

The beer was available to purchase via the SEVEN BRO7HERS online shop and in several beer houses around Manchester.

It really was a match m-armal-ade in heaven because the beer SOLD OUT six weeks into the campaign. 🧡

🎥 Thank you to the fantastic people at Northern Powerhouse Media for the video and photography footage.
