As we celebrated our 12th Foundation Day at #PRProfessionals, it was an opportunity to reflect on our journey so far and more importantly to set the agenda for our future growth. And then, there was this amazing cake to eat too 😄 #prprofessionals #foundationday #12yearsofPRP #publicrelations #publicaffairs #governmentrelations

Cascade's Anne Clawson and Melis Tusiray joined the old girls club yesterday to talk about how companies can position in the lead-up to the election. A few of our recommendations: ✅ Secure bipartisan support for your priorities. Always good to have, and even more important in this heated environment. ✅ Be deliberate about wading into culturally charged topics. In a world where so many companies are accidentally provoking controversy, you can choose to stay above the fray! ✅ But be guided by your values. If you're a values-driven organization, sometimes that will lead you into a charged debate. By preparing, you can stand up for what you believe in and still take the high road. The participants really made the event great, with active discussion and dialogue. Thanks to Jessica Wan, Claire Shaw, Allison Verville, Sadie Shepard, Erynn Petersen, Lauren Rosalanko, and the rest of the participants. We'd love to hear your biggest takeaways. Appreciate you hosting us, mallory contois!

Why do politicians always listen to NIMBYs in a housing crisis? Because they're the only people they hear from – the only people traditional comms agencies reach. There is a different way. If you want to de-risk the politics by leveraging the silent majority - it's time to do your planning comms differently. Introducing the Shared Voice planning offer. We created Just Build Homes - the YIMBY brand proven to mobilise supporters for planning applications .Now we're merging with Forty Shillings – a traditional, award-winning communications agency - to shake up the system. A new approach that results in councillors seeing a balanced viewcome decision time, increasing your chances of approval.

If you're on the fence about paying for PR without results, come join me in my 5-week workshop where you can learn everything about it first. All questions answered. You'll get insight into how it works and what to do to land press on your own. I make each workshop uniquely yours because that's how press outreach should be done. Next one starts February 23!

Its already been a journey and it's only really the start but still very proud to be a Blueprint Ally. This isn't just about doing the right thing (although that's important) - we can't offer the best advice and campaign work to clients if we don't have proper representation of the people we're trying to engage with outside and inside their organisations. Data is great but without lived experience on our teams how can we even try to connect with the many different communities outside of our PowerPoints, meeting rooms and office walls? We've got a long way to go but it means a lot to be in an agency that's committed to progress on diversity, on inclusivity and on equity even when it takes extra effort to make the incremental change we need. Hope this inspires other mid-to-large sized agencies to engage with Blueprint - smaller start up agencies get to build diversity in by design but everyone has a role to play in industry-wide change. https://lnkd.in/etRTV3sy #dei #diversity #ally #campaigning #purpose #communications
