Over the past few weeks, global sports-wear giant Nike has faced significant backlash for a “tone-deaf” PR stunt that ambushed recent parkrun events in London. The campaign has been accused of shaming participants who walk, instead of run – with slogans like “You didn’t come all this way for a walk in the park” displayed on red signs and billboards.

The stunt in itself was a great idea – the problem was the context wasn’t appropriate. The ads were quickly criticised as elitist and for mocking the inclusive, community-based ethos of parkrun.

New data from the Department for Culture, Media & Sport has revealed that that we increasingly live in a country with ‘news deserts’. 🗞️🚨

It’s assumed that as many as 4.4 million Brits live in these regions, defined as areas with no online, TV, or radio outlet dedicated specifically to their communities. Data also noted this trend disproportionately occurs in the most deprived urban areas of the UK.

While certain emerging hyper-localised publications are seeing a revival in some parts of the country, for most this decline has been many years in the making. So, what does this mean for PR? How do we respond? At High-Rise we’re recognising how our efforts can go some way to help buck this trend.

No matter what sector you work in, things can – and sometimes will – go wrong. That is as true for national charities as it is for privately-owned and managed companies.

The important thing is how your organisation responds. In fact, expectations are often higher for organisations that have a charitable or social ethos. So, getting the right crisis communication support is crucial.

With a team that includes former journalists, at High-Rise we know what the media are looking for and the pitfalls to avoid.

If your organisation is facing a crisis – or you want to prepare in advance – we’re here to help.

In today’s fast-paced and digitally-led world, organisations face more competition than ever to stand out from the crowd.

Online audiences now demand content that is both easy to consume and immersive. This has led to the decline of static content, such as images and graphics, and instead a pivot to short-form video, most notably across social media platforms TikTok and Instagram Reels.

Both channels boast great benefits to businesses looking to grow, yet if not used correctly can cause more harm than good.

This poses the question — which platform is better for your business?

As came to an end, the High-Rise team joined our local B Corp community to celebrate the purposeful and positive impact we collectively share. 🎉

We attended an event hosted by the co-chairs of B Local Greater Manchester, ‘Story, Strategy & Purposeful Pitching’. The reflective session explored how story, symbol and meaning can help organisations like ours move people, shift culture and sustain change.

We really enjoyed learning more about our fellow B Corps, hearing about the brilliant work they do, and their personal B Corp journeys.

It was great to join so many Manchester-based B Corp organisations and celebrate the impact of local business. 💫 🐝
