Hello from 2024! It has been a busy two months here at Sapience, with new clients, new hires, and new award nominations to add to our ever expanding award cabinet.

It is always a pleasure to update you all on our latest activities and it has been a busy period for us. This week, we were named a finalist in the PRCA City and Financial Awards, while the Burgh Island team were treated to a few days in the iconic art deco hotel earlier this month.

Read on to find out more – and I trust this edition of Salience will be a compelling read for you all.

Co-Founder and CEO

Our client Burgh Island Hotel kindly hosted the Sapience team in Devon for two nights in February. The team brainstormed marketing and communications strategies with the hotel’s staff, while learning more about the island’s history, art, and plants (as well as a few ghost stories!)

A terrific trip!

This week, we were delighted to announce that we were named a finalist in the PRCA City and Financial Awards, recognising the outstanding work that we’ve done for our client, Edison Group. Congratulations to our fellow shortlisted contenders; may the most deserving candidate win!

Last month, Richard and Account Director, Shubhi Grover, attended an event hosted by Shaylesh Patel, Director of ASTOP and leader of Ban Box Shifting, in Houndsditch. The panel, titled ‘Reviving Our Communities’, served as a platform for businesses, charities, policymakers and landlords to discuss business rates and the future of our country’s high streets.

The Ban Box Shifting movement against business rates avoidance was backed by a motion from the London Assembly in November, and now has over 100 signatures from MPs and councillors.

Here at Sapience, we’re always keen to push ourselves and exceed expectations. It is little wonder then, that we all found the story of Clive the Godwit, a small migratory bird which flew a round trip of nearly 2,500 miles from Norfolk to Spain and back in four days so intriguing, stunning experts in the process.

We’re PR professionals, of course we hop on the latest trends… as you can see 💁🏻‍♀️

Special shoutouts to Shubhi and Steve for their innovative approaches!
