Clarion launches Not-for-Profit/Public Sector Advisory Board

Unique to the Communications Industry, we have created an Advisory Board of the great and good from the public sector, leading charities and the media. They will advise clients on CSR and thought leadership as well as provide a solid foundation for the agency’s public sector and not- for-profit growth. They will also meet twice a year as a “Think Tank” to discuss and produce a paper on the state of the link between the business and not-for-profit worlds.  Click here for more information on this impressive new offering. 

Clarion expands its offering

We have expanded our PR service to cover the public sector too - government, charities, trade bodies, campaigning organisations, educational institutions etc. This includes forging relationships between businesses and charities.  To lead this new service we have recruited Jonathan Edwards, a highly experienced Not For Profit/Public Sector operator. Jonathan has worked with The DTI, The Cabinet Office, The Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, Redbridge Council,  Drugscope, The Chickenshed Theatre Company and The British Society of Immunology, in addition to helping Sky, Coca-Cola and McDonalds with their Corporate Social Responsibility campaigns.

London Better Together

The Clarion team recently ditched the world of PR for spades and waders to transform a neglected pond area into recreational green space that can now be enjoyed by Chalgrove Primary School pupils as part of the London Better Together initiative.  The project was selected to coincide with the environmental theme which underpins this year's London Better Together, an annual campaign supported by the London Development Agency.  Pauline Moss, Head Teacher at Chalgrove, said that the new space would provide an additional play area for the children as well as support the curriculum and broaden their experiences. 

To ease continual maintenance of the area, all gardening equipment purchased by Clarion has been donated to the school.  Big thanks to all the Clarion team for working so hard, and to B&Q Cricklewood for their generous donation of a bench for the new green space.   Click here to see us in action!

Insights

We started buying TGI consumer research data at the end of last year and it is already proving invaluable in helping us plan our PR campaigns. Having insights into attitudes, motivations, behaviour and media consumption means we can confidently select the best PR tools and creative routes to influence our target consumers.
