Did you know a UK worker will change employer every five years on average? Well, today marks eight years with Be Bold for head of operations and digital, Melanie Boulter. 👏 It's not a surprise – average is not in the Be Bold dictionary. 😆 And it was an excuse to celebrate with homemade cookies – we're expecting a cake of epic proportions in two years' time Mel! 🍰

It's all about the right fit and the right message... With an ever-increasing reliance on social media for brand awareness, it's true that audience influencers can have a big impact on a PR campaign. But as with all PR, the strategy behind any influencer campaign has to be well thought through. Getting the right influencer fit for a brand is crucial to the success of any campaign, as is ensuring the right message and delivery. It's NOT always about engaging and working with influencers that have the biggest following. If they're not talking to people who will be engaged in what your business/brand has to offer, then the campaign will likely be a flop. Having said that, when the stars align - right influencer + top class following - then, guess what? That's when the magic really happens. 💫 Take for example this recent partnership we lined up for our lovely client's at Weston Park Enterprises Ltd and architectural historian/country house photographer Christopher Skelton-Davies from Country House Obsession. There couldn't have been a more perfect match for showcasing the delights that await guests visiting the estate. Christopher's passion and knowledge of stately homes is immense. Thanks for taking the time out to visit and feature Weston Park and for the great footage 📹 As you can see, there's nothing ordinary about Weston. Not even the wardrobes are what they seem. Extraordinary on every level 😀 #PR #strategiccomms

Storytelling... It's what we do day-in and day-out but there's nothing better than when we get to help our clients tell a story that's come full-circle. Meet retired teacher Patricia de Haan who recently gifted £10,000 to the Field Studies Council to support its Young Darwin Scholarship. Why? Quite simply, because Patricia, who is now 82, wanted to give something back, she wanted to give young people an opportunity. And, we all know that with the right opportunity - great things can happen. You see Patricia's life-long career as a biology teacher was kick-started by a residential visit to the Field Studies Council's Shrewsbury site when she was in her late teens. She had a marvellous time and even met some of the UK's most notable conservationists including well known TV broadcaster the late David Bellamy OBE. She hopes her generosity will now inspire a future generation of biologists and environmentalists. She said: “When I came to Preston Montford, I studied ‘The Meres and Mosses of Shropshire’ course. Back then this was the equivalent of the Young Darwin Scholarship and I was incredibly fortunate to be gifted the opportunity. It set me off on a wonderful path and I’ve come a long way in my career. “Now, I want as many other young people as possible who already have an interest and passion for the environment, but perhaps lack the opportunity or finances, to benefit from a similar experience.” Patricia’s generosity will help fund 11 additional places on the Young Darwin Scholarship programme. What an inspiration she is 😊 You can read the full story via the link in the comments. Thank you Charity Today for featuring this wonderful story. #PR #storytelling #PRforGood

Skills... It's always good/nice to upskill yourself whether for professional purposes or otherwise. It's good for many reasons - confidence-building, earning potential but often gaining new skills means you can give something back. It's about the feel-good factor and doing your bit! Be Bold's head of operations Melanie Boulter has been doing just that. She's been learning how to time keep for the Newport & District Swimming Club. To be able to volunteer at gala events, she had to complete an online and practical assessment which she passed with flying colours. So guess where she'll be hanging out over the next week or so? That's right, you'll find her poolside armed with clipboard and stopwatch at the joint swim Club Championships for Newport & District, Telford Aqua and Wellington swimming clubs. Events are due to take place in Wolverhampton and Wellington. Well done Mel - sports clubs rely heavily on willing volunteers to keep afloat (excuse the pun) and we're certain your timekeeping skills will be spot on. What new skills have you been learning lately? #PR #skills
