Planning events takes time, energy and a good dose of patience. We know the reality doesn’t always match the Pinterest board, but that’s where we come in.

From managing RSVPs to getting soaked in the rain so you don’t have to, our team handles the practical stuff, the unexpected hiccups and the nitty-gritty that comes with making events run smoothly.

We take the stress off your plate so you can focus on the moments that matter.

Visiting schools and meeting students is always a highlight for us – it’s a chance to talk about the wide range of opportunities within our industry and beyond, and to encourage young people as they navigate big decisions about their future.

We’re proud to support future talent and help spark ideas about what’s possible. 🙌

Today is World Mental Health Day, and yesterday, we took some downtime for pumpkin painting, a few laughs, and conversations about how we’re really doing.

We also revisited the mental health support available to us, including through the Chartered Institute of Public Relations .

A reminder to everyone: look after yourselves and each other.

Your teams aren’t all the same, so why send them the same message?

Different roles, responsibilities and locations call for different communications. Segmenting your internal messaging helps people see the right information, in the right way, at the right time.

At BV, we support organisations in creating targeted, effective comms that connect with every audience.

An event isn’t just a day on the calendar - it’s a reputation-building opportunity.

At Black Vanilla, we believe events are a powerful part of the communications mix because when they’re done with purpose, they do more than fill a room. They tell your story and build credibility.

🧠 They shape how people feel about your brand.
🌍 They show what you care about - from sustainable choices to community focus.
💬 And they leave people talking, long after the lights go down.

Today is World Copywriting Day – a celebration of the craft behind the messages that move people, shift perspectives and spark action.

At Black Vanilla, copywriting is more than just a skill – it's at the heart of what we do. From crisis communications and social media to press releases and internal comms, clear and authentic messaging sits at the centre of every campaign.

We believe the right words build trust, drive reputation, and deliver results.

Today’s a good day to shout out the unsung heroes behind every message - the copywriters.

We're stepping onto the pitch for a good cause and a bit of healthy competition. ⚽️

We’re excited to be taking part in the Victoria Park Stadium Charity Shield on Sunday 21 September – a brand new event supporting Bowel Cancer Guernsey and Business Beats Cancer.

All proceeds go to charity – and we’re glad to be playing our part. There'll be plenty happening on and off the pitch, so come down, get involved, and cheer on the BV All Stars (starring Katy as manager, stepping into the shoes of Sarina Wiegman!)

ONLY 1 MONTH TO GO! ⚽️💛

We’re counting down to our first Victoria Park Charity Football Tournament, and the good news is there's still time to enter!

As part of the entry fee, each team will receive charity t-shirts in their team colours, with all match-day proceeds from the day going directly to Bowel Cancer Guernsey and Business Beats Cancer.

The winning team will also receive a meal for 10 at Nutmeg At Victoria Park
