At High-Rise Communications, we are proud to support our client, Box Power CIC, in their latest campaign for more transparency in public sector spending.

The campaign has hit the ground running and we have secured a front page feature in The Yorkshire Post. We expect to see more and more over the next week as media across the UK hold their councils accountable and get involved in Box Power CIC’s campaign.

Read the article here:

New research shared exclusively with The Yorkshire Post shows councils in Yorkshire are paying hugely differing rates for energy, potentially costing the public millions.

We’re pleased to have secured coverage for our client easyfundraising.org.uk’s shocking new report stating that just over 85% of grassroots charities have said their income has been negatively affected by the cost-of-living crisis.

Why not reach out to a coworker, friend, or loved one this week? A simple check in can make the biggest difference. Let's support each other this ! 🫶 Mental Health Foundation

Are the robots taking over?🤖

Many websites (including shockingly news sites with fake journalist profiles) are awash with landing pages produced by chatGPT with no thought or care for the audience. There’s no doubt that used ineffectively, AI encourages lazy behaviour.

However we can embrace AI in a way where we can get it right, creating more value for our clients which include plenty of charities on tight budgets who need to be sure they are getting value for money from their communications agency.

Last month, Managing Director Helen attended an MPA event where Flight Story’s Oliver Yonchev was the keynote speaker. Have a read of her findings here: https://buff.ly/3UwItlr

We are at the start of running a campaign for our ethical finance client, Path Financial, that calls for the football industry to divest millions from fossil fuels by choosing green pension options and green investments🌱

With some engagement on social media from professional players such as Inter Milan and Denmark national team player Sofie Junge Pedersen, and New Zealand and Scottish Premier League player Katie Rood - both outspoken climate activists. As well as a direct message response from Rangers midfielder Tessel Middag, we have already scored a couple of goals!⚽
