    March 20, 2020

      by Sophie Scott,Global Managing Director, Technology, and Senior Partner, at FleishmanHillard Against the background of the global COVID-19 pandemic, all communicators understand the need for clear, concise, consistent communications.

      By Faith Howe, Partner, Talent & Transformation at FleishmanHillard Fishburn COVID-19 has now directly hit more than 100 countries and continues to spread, creating uncertainty on a global scale. In response, organisations around the world are putting in place measures to protect their employees and ensure business continuity. But, is it possible to do this in a way that preserves engagement and mental wellbeing in a highly disrupted work environment? Distilled from advice we’ve...

  • The one thing booming amid the pandemic : TV news

    March 18, 2020

    By Peter Meikle, Head of News While stock-markets continue to plummet, illustrated by graphs full of jagged cliff-drops that reveal just how astonishingly bad things are getting for the world’s economy, the charts showing the viewing figures for TV news are going the other way – lines shooting skywards, record audiences being recorded. BBC News and Sky News saw around three times their normal audience during parts of this weekend. On BBC1 and Channel 4...

  • Content connects: shifting your B2B comms strategy in an uncertain time

    March 17, 2020

    By James de Mellow, Associate Content Director It’s become clear that the next few months are going to be anything but business as usual. The evolving coronavirus situation is a worldwide public health crisis and organisations are rightly putting the health and wellbeing of their employees first. A secondary, but nevertheless important, concern for businesses is understanding how they can continue operations in a landscape that is constantly shifting. Conferences and events have been cancelled...

  • COVID-19 :The increased need for communications

    March 16, 2020

      By Stephanie Bailey, Managing Director, Corporate I admit I have become more than a little obsessed with finding out as much as I can about the situation with the coronavirus. I can state with a fact that it is ‘rapidly changing’, ‘unprecedented’ and ‘challenging’ because almost everything I have read tells me that. Whilst Public Health England guidelines and advice are being shared and reported there is still a raft of fake news that...

  • Rishi “Rich” Splashes the Cash

    March 11, 2020

    https://youtu.be/_bS3McXHg4g With Westminster abuzz following revelations of the first UK politician to contract coronavirus, coupled with a declining global economic outlook and continued uncertainty over the trajectory of future post-Brexit trade talks, there can have been few Budget statements delivered in recent years set against such a turbulent political and economic backdrop. That Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s debut budget statement should be delivered with such confidence, authority and aplomb should not have come as any great...

  • 2020 U.S. Presidential Election Super Tuesday Edition

    March 5, 2020

    Now that we’ve had some time to digest—where are we now? American elections often seem to be a mix of drama and comedy with a dash of politics thrown in to spice things up. Candidates start to formally announce their campaigns roughly two years in advance with many of the 2020 Democratic candidates, for example, formally announcing their campaigns in January 2019. The election will really heat up when the Democratic nominee is announced during...

  • Don’t wait for a crisis to happen before getting your house in order: the key to effective crisis response is effective planning

    February 26, 2020

    There are generally three types of reputational crises which businesses face – a crisis of circumstance, competency or culture. Whilst by their nature no crisis is easy to deal with, arguably the crisis of culture –defined as inappropriate behaviours in (and out of) the workplace or ethical lapses– can be the most challenging to handle, with often the most senior person in the business, and at times whole leadership teams, finding themselves under intense pressure...

  • Brexit Day: What next? Views from across our network

    January 31, 2020

    The view from London Boris Johnson’s election victory changed everything. But uncertainty for business remains. On 12 December 2019, Brexit went from parliamentary standoff to executive-led inevitability. Johnson has a clear mandate to “Get Brexit Done”, and for a short moment, there has been a semblance of clarity about Britain’s future. Today brings that moment to an end. From a British point of view, the path forward is no longer a domestic dispute. The Prime...
