Kicking off the New Year with huge congratulations to three Whistlers on their well-deserved promotions! 🎉

Emily Holden is stepping up to the role of Account Director after joining us as a PR Assistant seven years ago – an impressive Whistle journey so far!

Some Birmingham festive fun! 🎄

There maybe some new Whistlers this year…but it’s the same old Christmas entertainment! Secret Santa, great food and even the Coca Cola truck being in town.

Here’s to a bigger, better, and brighter 2025!

17/12/2024

We believe in the power of small actions to create big change. In 2024, we dedicated time to various volunteering initiatives and to raise funds for our nominated charities.

Here’s a snippet of how we’ve come together to support causes close to our hearts:
🌱 Rolling up our sleeves to restore the Rookery Park garden to its former glory
💼 Sarah's monthly commitment to coach women who need support getting back to or into work
💡 Emily giving her time to inspire the younger generation alongside the National Literacy Trust
🎄 Amy's “Golden Oldies” Christmas lunch in her local village to brighten their festive period
📚 Generous book deliveries throughout the year led by Claire

And finally, we’ve raised hundreds of pounds in 2024 for our charity partners – Smart Works Birmingham and the National Literacy Trust – rounding off the year with a festive donation from Whistle in lieu of Christmas cards and gifts.

We’re proud of the collective effort from our team and grateful to everyone who supported us along the way.

Part of our commitment to our clients is to fully immerse ourselves in their businesses and keep abreast of the industries in which they operate.

Our account team for Aggregate Industries recently stepped away from their desks to tour the quarry at Bardon Hill in Leicestershire. Experiencing everything first hand really helped to bring the site to life, from its people and operations to its sustainability initiatives and restoration drives.

Account lead Amy Ahmed-Dolphin AIEMA says: “As our longest-running client, we understand Aggregate Industries’ business incredibly well. But there’s always more that we can learn. Nothing beats seeing things in person and it was a joy to observe the whole team soaking up the experience and chatting through new ideas and creative ways to promote our client. Thank you to James Allen for setting up the tour and ordering the sunshine!”

It was great to welcome Andrew Bruce Smith to Whistle PR this week for two insightful sessions on the evolving role of AI in communications.

It was not only an opportunity to refine our understanding of the uses of AI but also to explore new ways of delivering even greater value to our clients. Additionally, we picked up some tips on working more efficiently to save an hour here and there!

Thanks once again, Andrew!

We recently launched our Fort Dunlop Sustainability Network bringing together a fantastic group of tenants all committed to making a positive, sustainable impact.

In our inaugural meeting as a collective, we:

🌱 Shared best practices
🌱 Collaborated and inspired each other for future campaigns
🌱 Uncovered the latest sustainability initiatives in our building
🌱 Positively influenced sustainable change

Claire Saltmarshe, our Business Support Manager, sums up the vision of the group perfectly: “I wanted to set up the network because even though we are a small business, we can have a much bigger impact when we influence and engage with others. The Fort Dunlop building has a wide mix of tenants, and already I can see the positive benefits from working together.”

With 12 engaged tenants represented, our first meeting set the stage for exciting future plans. From themed discussions on topics like recycling, CSR, and wellness to spotlighting tenant achievements, we’re creating a network where sustainability is more than just talk – it's action.

We're looking forward to our next meeting in December, where we’ll continue to pave the way for a sustainable future at Fort Dunlop together. 💪🌍

The rise of shock value for virality... could it hurt your brand? 💥

In today’s pay-to-play social media world, shock value is king. Platforms like X and certain corners of Facebook reward controversy, often pushing divisive content to the top of feeds. For brands, this creates a dilemma: invest to stay visible or risk getting lost in a sea of viral chaos.

Read our blog on the rise of shock value and the reputational damage it can bring to brands 👉 https://www.whistlepr.co.uk/is-the-rise-of-shock-value-hurting-brands-online/

Thought about levelling up your social media game? 🎮

Gamification is taking social platforms by storm, driving engagement, boosting retention, and creating memorable user experiences. Whether it’s viral challenges on TikTok, polls on LinkedIn, or giveaways with influencers, gamification helps brands stand out in a crowded digital space.

At Whistle PR, we know how to harness these tactics to create impactful, results-driven campaigns. Have you tried integrating gamification into your strategy? 👉 https://www.whistlepr.co.uk/the-power-of-gamification-to-boost-engagement/

We recently hosted a mini-workshop for Aggregate Industries’ sustainability team, exploring how they can boost brand visibility in the sustainability space. The highly engaging session was packed with insights and creativity! 🎯

We asked our account lead, Amy Ahmed-Dolphin, what she loves most about running Whistle’s comms workshops: "One of my favourite parts? Pulling our clients out of their day-to-day hustle and seeing them relax into the session. It’s great watching the team finally get that headspace to think about the bigger picture and comms strategy."

At Whistle, we love a comms workshop. We’re all about creating interactive spaces where we collaborate with our clients to build a comms strategy that hits the right audience, in the right way, on the right channels. Clear communication is key to business success – and we’re here to help you nail it.

A tough challenge for a good cause! 🚵🚴 As part of our ongoing support for our charity partner Smart Works Birmingham the Whistle office is joining ‘Cycle for Smart Works’ from the 23rd of February until the 8th of March. Cycle for Smart Works is our opportunity to help empower women for job success. For many women, getting a job is a lifeline: a chance to escape poverty, gain financial stability and restore confidence. Smart Works is a UK charity that dresses and coaches unemployed women for job interviews giving them the confidence to reach their full potential, secure employment and transform their lives. Our office fundraising target is £1,000 while cycling for 150 miles indoor and outdoor. We are hoping to achieve this across the 2 weeks of the initiative, which culminates on International Women’s Day. We would be extremely grateful for any donations, and it really will give us that extra motivation!
