Nothing beats face-to-face time.  Yesterday, we hosted a press lunch in London for our client, ProCook bringing together six influential journalists from leading media outlets: The Times, The Mirror, The Sun, Red Magazine UK, T3, and Ideal Home.  This lunch gave ProCook the opportunity to share exciting updates and provide an exclusive preview of what’s coming up—especially as we head into the peak shopping season. The power of press events like these goes beyond just product promotion; they help us convey the passion and story behind the brand in a much more personal way. We’re proud to help our clients connect with their target media on a deeper level, ensuring their message resonates and stands out in a crowded space. A big thank you to all the journalists. We’re looking forward to what’s next!

In case you missed it last week! We’re excited to share that our client, GROHE is set to open its first UK Specification Hub at the Business Design Centre in London. Coverage of the news so far has been strong in b2b titles, reinforcing the importance of having a physical presence for brands. In an increasingly digital world, these spaces offer something unique: a tangible experience where designers, specifiers, and architects can interact directly with products before making crucial decisions. It’s about building trust and creating deeper connections with customers—something that can’t always be achieved online.

Myself and my team at DMC PR and Clive Tyldesley set up a Food Bank in our local village Arborfield with support from Claire Revie who runs Share Wokingham. Food donations from Brakes UK Lidl GB GAIL's Artisan Bakery Squire's Garden Centres Wenzel's the Bakers Ltd. We pick up food that would go to waste and redistribute it to those who need some extra help. Lots of people ask me what sort of food do we get - you would be AMAZED!! Here is what we were able to offer to our visitors today 😋🙌

Last night we organised a panel event for our client NEOLITH as part of London Design Festival. Architects, designers and journalists joined us at the Moley Robotics showroom to hear from Freya Gibbons, Toni Black and Wendy Gilmour who each brought a fascinating perspective on the future of design to the table in a conversation moderated by Pip Rich (formerly McCormac). For us, this is what #LDF is all about! Great discussion and collaboration that keeps us inspired and excited about the future. #londondesignfestival

Something we absolutely love to see is our clients sharing their insights on important industry topics. Recently, David Morris, Sales Director at MHK Holding UK LTD, spoke with Nicola Hanley about the value MHK brings to its members in the UK KBB market. From expanding their team to building strong retailer-supplier relationships, David's interview offers a great look at how MHK UK is helping its members thrive. Check out the full interview for more on MHK’s approach to growth and support. Thanks so much to Nicola for taking the time to talk to David and get to know more about the brand. https://lnkd.in/e6D6Kd66 #DMCPR #MHKUK #KBB #Industryinsights #clientspotlight

Trends don’t always have to be brand-new to make a splash in PR. Many styles and designs come full circle, and savvy brands know how to elevate even the most classic concepts. This is especially true for the utility room, currently enjoying a major resurgence across social media and editorial as the ‘must-have’ space at home. We're thrilled to see our long-standing client, LochAnna Kitchens, leading the way with their revamped Laundry Stacker Larder, featured here in the new Hutton and Newbridge ranges. This unit offers a complete laundry solution in one neat package, with the added bonus of being quick and easy to tuck away. It’s more stunning and practical than ever, already earning coverage in top publications like Homes & Gardens, Homebuilding & Renovating, and Designerati, with plenty more features already lined up for the cycle... 🧼 #dmcpr #pr #lifestylepr #trends
