While April was an unusual month, it’s been good to connect with the local community in a different way. We took on a pro bono project providing media relations support for a campaign called ‘We Will Meet Again’. Leyburn-based Jonathan Greenwood, took it upon himself to deliver over 1,000 goody bags to residents in the Yorkshire Dales, providing them with a ‘mental health boost’. What an amazing feat. We secured a selection of broadcast and online coverage including BBC Look North, BBC Radio York and Natwest Business Hub.

We’ve also been working on our regular clients’ accounts creating PR opportunities, targeted marketing, and delivering our PR Hour consultations.

It’s also been good to pause, chat, and slow the pace, in hindsight it’s quite timely for me after a busy start to the year and a drawn out house move. If there’s a word to describe this year (boy, there are many), ‘resilience’ stands out for me. It’s felt like it’s been one hurdle after another. But also watching our clients pivot, fight the odds and find new opportunities to secure their future, has been inspiring – a word often over used, but really it has been.
