Some projects inform. This one asked us to feel.

For World Bipolar Day, Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Maurice & Seychelles, founded by Nadjah Abbasakoor, asked us to design a brochure to help people better understand this condition. Indeed, those who suffer from it often do so in silence, misunderstood by those around them and by society.

That is one of the reasons why this project was especially close to our hearts.

From the moment we received the brief, we knew we had to go beyond a simple design as the brochure had to embody what it described. This remarkable illustration by Pascal Lagesse has two faces: the warmth of red contrasts with the coldness of blue, representing the opposing moods of those living with bipolar disorder.

In addition, our team chose to put a face on bipolar disorder so as to better bring it into the light, out of the firm belief that there is absolutely no reason to be ashamed, that hidden pain only grows heavier with time, and that the right support exists for those seeking it.

And above all, to show the persons that are affected that they are not alone and never will be.๐Ÿซ‚

Last month, our Founder and CEO Aisha Allee attended the PRCA's networking event at Hanover Communications in London, alongside top-tier PR executives from both the political and private sectors. As the global organisation for PR professionals, the PRCA regularly organises networking events to unite industry leaders, foster collaboration and exchange insights.

During the evening, Aisha had the opportunity to speak with Sarah Waddington, CEO of the PRCA, about the organisation's anticipated expansion into the Indian Ocean region. As an active member of the PRCA, Blast Burson continues to benefit from world-class, ongoing training programmes that keep our teams sharp and ahead of the curve in an ever-evolving communications landscape.

Other notable PR executives from both the political and private spheres were also in attendance, namely the former PR director of the Mayor of London and former Senior PR aides to previous UK Prime Ministers.

Our Managing Director, Lekha Seebaluck, joined industry experts on a panel at the inaugural Cyber Resilience Leadership Forum, organised by STORM Guidance in collaboration with TrendAI and FRCI. The forum explored how organisations can prepare for, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents โ€” with sessions covering crisis communication, leadership preparedness, and the regulatory landscape.

In a room full of tech and AI specialists, Lekha brought a perspective that often gets lost: when a crisis hits, you are not just dealing with systems โ€” you are dealing with people.

One of the hardest moments in any crisis is the earliest one : when leadership knows the least. No full picture, no confirmed answers, and yet stakeholders are already watching. That is precisely the moment communications matters most. Knowing what to say when you donโ€™t have all the facts, and how to say it in plain language that reassures rather than alarms, is a skill that has to be built before the crisis arrives. That is what media training is for.
People can absorb disruption. What they cannot absorb is surprise. The silence that follows an incident, while teams scramble to fix the problem, is itself a communications failure.

As Lekha put it: customers can be forgiving, when they hear from you.

True resilience is as much about people and communication as it is about technology.

This recognition didnโ€™t come from a campaign built to impress. It came from work that challenged how we approach our role.

Work where research informs decisions, not just supports them.
Where measurement questions impact, not just tracks it.
Where our purpose is to remain clear-headed in increasingly complex environments.

This is work that doesnโ€™t seek visibility, it creates direction.
The kind that reshapes how we think and how we continue to evolve.

To our clients: thank you for trusting work that doesnโ€™t always look like traditional PR. Thank you for the courage to invest in intelligence that shapes reputation, not just reports on it.

To the Media Intelligence team: thank you for the rigour and dedication behind this work.
To the Blast teams: thank you for choosing substance over noise and consistency over shortcuts.

We also extend our congratulations to all finalists and winners of the Africa SABRE Awards 2026, whose work continues to raise the bar for our industry across the continent.
