The Satsuma Agency Phrase Translator. 🌐

Because after enough time working in an agency, you realise we have a language all of our own.

"Just a small change."
Translation: I have two pages of amends.

"Can we make it pop?”
Translation: The vibes are insufficient.

"Quick question…"
Translation: This is not a quick question.

"Final copy attached.”
Translation: This is not the final copy.

"Can we jump on a quick call?"
Translation: Put the kettle on, we'll be here for a while.

"Can we see another option?"
Translation: We need to see it another way before deciding we liked the first one.

"We’ll circle back internally."
Translation: We'll be staring at it together shortly.

What have we missed? 👀

Three reasons our founder Ellen Widdup would have deleted your press release when she was a national newspaper journalist. 📰

1. Your subject line tells me absolutely nothing.

“Exciting company announcement” is not a story.

Neither is “press release attached”.

Journalists are scanning huge numbers of emails. Your subject line needs to tell them, quickly, what has actually happened and why they might care.

2. You’ve buried the story

If a journalist has to read four paragraphs of background information before discovering the actual news, there’s a good chance they won’t get that far.

The strongest fact belongs at the top.

Who? What? Where? When? Why does it matter?

Get to the point.

3. You’ve sent it to the wrong journalist

This one happens constantly.

A brilliant story sent to someone who never covers that subject is still a bad pitch.

Good PR isn’t about sending something to the biggest possible media list and hoping for the best. It’s about understanding the publication, the journalist and their audience.

And there’s a fourth one for free:
Don’t make the journalist work to find the story.

A good press release should make their job easier, not give them another puzzle to solve.

That’s still one of the biggest things we bring to PR at Satsuma: we don’t just ask what does the client want to say?

We ask: would a journalist actually care?

Because there’s a very big difference. 🍊

The next edition of our multi-award-winning construction magazine The Hard Hat is taking shape. 📚

We’re currently working on the design and copy for the latest issue of the publication for our clients MACL and MAP Plant LTD - pulling together everything from company news and project updates to people stories, apprenticeships, supplier features and life behind the scenes.

And some of the best content always comes from getting out from behind the laptop.

We had a brilliant photoshoot with the team at MAP Plant in July, capturing the people and personalities behind the business, and we went back out last week for another site visit with MACL.

There’s something particularly satisfying about working on a publication from beginning to end - finding the stories, interviewing the people, writing the features, planning the photography and then bringing it all together through the design.

Plenty more to come from this one. 👷🍊

Satsuma turns 5! 🙌🍊

What started with a laptop, one client and a slightly overripe amount of optimism has grown into a business I could never have imagined.

❤ Five years later we've squeezed every opportunity, peeled back countless stories, weathered the occasional sour moment and celebrated some incredibly sweet successes.

We've launched brands, protected reputations, built websites, won awards, created thousands of pieces of content and consumed enough tea to float a citrus grove.

🙌 But Satsuma has never really been about PR. It's always been about the people behind the peel.

Fabulous day with the .id - The National Disability & Carers Card Scheme in Woodbridge yesterday.

It was brilliant to see so many local businesses, venues and volunteers getting involved to help showcase the real-life benefits of the scheme and the importance of accessibility and inclusion.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part - we can’t wait to share the final results.

❓ One of the biggest shifts in communications over the last few years?

📊 Clients rightly expect evidence - not just activity.

It’s no longer enough to say:
“We posted regularly.”
“We got media coverage.”
“The engagement looked good.”

What actually matters is:
🤔 Did perception change?
🗣️ Did enquiries increase?
📢 Did stakeholders engage?
🧲 Did people take action?
👀 Did the right audience see it?
📈 Did it support wider business goals?

The best metrics are rarely vanity metrics.
Reach without relevance means very little.
And a viral post that attracts the wrong audience can actually damage positioning. 😱

Good communications should always have measurable objectives behind them - even when the outcome itself is human. 🙌
Because strategy without data is instinct.
And data without strategy is noise. 📣

Most school trusts don’t think about PR until...

❌ A parent complaint escalates
❌ A safeguarding issue hits social media
❌ A journalist calls

By then, it’s already reactive.

The organisations that handle this best?
They plan for it before it happens.

That’s where we come in.
