We’re spoilt for choice. From World Statistics Day (it’s real) to Love Island – with so many cultural trends and seasonal events popping up all over the place, we have plenty of opportunity to make a PR moment. And it doesn’t need to cost the earth.
In fact, it can be a great way for charities that can’t afford to spend their way into the public consciousness to generate word of mouth quickly. This event was packed with inspiring presentations from on-trend organisations sharing tips and telling us what they did, how they did it and the results they achieved.
