Sue Ryder supports people through the most difficult times of their lives, whether it’s a terminal illness, a loss of a loved one or a neurological condition. The charity predominantly relays on income from their charity shops and donations from members of the public.

To help raise funds, Sue Ryder opened its first ever pop-up shop in Mayfair which included donated personal items from famous faces including Eddie Redmayne, Kate Moss, Susie Cave, Gillian Anderson, Jean Shrimpton, Sam Smith, Daniel Radcliffe and Iskra Lawrence. The Celebrity donated items were also placed in to a silent auction giving those that couldn’t travel to the shop in London the opportunity to get involved and bid.

The PHA Group were appointed by Sue Ryder to generate coverage and raise awareness for the pop-up and auction.

The non-invasive REVITA^TM procedure is currently being investigated by Imperial College London as part of a clinical trial (called DOMINO) to investigate whether duodenal mucosal resurfacing (DMR) can increase insulin sensitivity and help women of reproductive age start menstruating.

The ground-breaking procedure does not involve any form of surgery, neither does it require participants to take any form of medication to lower their sugar and no device is left in the patient, so it is minimally invasive, and means recovery time is relatively quick. However, if successful, the results will have a substantial impact on millions of women around the world.

To ensure the success of the trial, Imperial College London actively wanted to raise awareness of the study, increase the number of participants taking part, and highlight how this trial could significantly improve the lives of PCOS patients and reduce the cost of PCOS to the NHS.

With the obstacle race market being as crowded as it is, the challenge for Total Warrior was to achieve meaningful media cut through against a very strong level of competition.

Since the first Tough Guy event in 1987, the UK has seen an influx of new races getting in on the action. With so many to choose from, the challenge for Total Warrior was how to position itself at the forefront.

In 2018, Total Warrior returned to Leeds and the Lake District, but with no new location to promote we had to think creatively about how we could get the media excited about this year’s events.

When blockchain start-up APPII came to us with the aim of fundamentally disrupting how candidates and recruiters share and store information, we knew we had an exciting challenge on our hands. One of the most reluctant industries to innovate, recruitment had been stuck in the past for too long, shackled by mistrust, inefficiencies, and high overheads. We knew that landing the dream job was a hot topic for consumers and placing the right candidate in the perfect job the ultimate goal for recruiters. Our launch of the platform saw APPII’s name published repeatedly across the national, recruitment, technology, and business press 45 times in nine months.
