Two weeks in the life of a PR agency! From networking at UKREiiF in Leeds, supporting BBRC at the Clean Growth Fund Roadshow and comms workshops in Greenwich, to discussing AI and penguins at Bath Digital Festival. Congrats also to the brilliant new Flightline café at Aerospace Bristol.

Highlight of the week was a meeting with the legendary Lynne Franks. Plus brainstorming with creative leaders and hearing from the Festival of Nature, kicking off in June. Lots of catching up with people on the outcome of the West of England mayoral election too – congrats to Helen Godwin.
