Agenda Comms

Agenda Comms Here to help you think big, be brave and stay real when communicating for social impact. We’ve been embracing change over recent months. Welcome to Agenda.

You may know us as Slack Communications; you may have worked with us over the last 10 years, heard us speak at events, or followed us on social. Our leadership team has grown. We’ve got new services, new skills, new knowledge – all of which we’re looking forward to sharing with you under our new name, Agenda. Our name and look are different, but you can expect the same energy, culture of cooperati

on, and commitment to your success that we’ve always offered. When you work with us, you get:

* Your very own team of comms professionals who have exactly the skills you require, built around your goals and budget.

* A programme of work tailored to your specific needs. We always work with you, rather than doing stuff to you, drawing on the latest insight, learnings from others, and our collective experiences to create significant and sustainable impact.

* A partner in comms whose values match your own, acting as a compass for all we say and do. You can read more about what we stand for. For more details on the range of services offered, please visit our website:

Who in our team has hung out with headhunters in the jungles of North-East India?

Adi Bloom is our comms and PR expert, who loves breaking news and tight deadlines.

What else do you need to know about Adi?

🔸She was a journalist for 25 years, and worked for almost two decades for the Times Educational Supplement – first as news reporter and features writer and later as opinion editor. She also wrote The TES Little Book of Grammar, which aimed to help teachers make sense of the spelling, punctuation and grammar curriculum.

🔸Adi has also written for publications including The Times, The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Washington Post. She has occasionally appeared in the media herself, mostly talking about grammar.

🔸Adi’s role at Agenda sees her liaising with journalists on behalf of clients, as well as writing press releases and articles reflecting clients' interests. Working with the Society of Radiographers over the last 18 months, her news stories have been picked up across national and regional media, including the Today programme and Mumsnet.

🔸She has also delivered media and crisis comms training with Agenda. As someone who was (in her innocent youth) once quoted during a press visit to 10 Downing Street saying, “I’m only here for the cake,” she knows the importance of proper media training.

🔸Before having children, Adi travelled extensively in India, and was one of very few Westerners to have been invited by a Naga chieftain to see the skulls collected by former headhunters.

🔸She also enjoyed visiting the tea gardens of Assam, and now spends her free time drinking single-estate Golden Broken Orange Pekoe in front of Numberblocks.

Does your charity really know what your supporters care about?

In our upcoming webinar, ‘Using AI to understand your supporters’ needs at scale’, we’ll show you how to use AI to really understand your supporters’ concerns and motivations.

This means you'll get to participate in a live, interactive experiment using a conversational AI tool. You’ll experience first-hand how this technology works and see a real-time analysis of the collective responses.

Led by Nick Scott and Vic Barlow, this free one-hour session will give you hands-on experience of exactly how AI can provide more thorough, actionable insights than traditional methods.
