Yesterday we wrapped up our annual work experience workshop!

Welcoming students and graduates into the world of PR, social media and events is always a highlight for us.

After learning more about the industry, the students are tasked with planning their own campaign and then presenting it to a panel of judges! We couldn’t be prouder of their hard work and team spirit.

Thank you to everyone who took part – we loved every minute. 📄

We want to give a huge thank you to GTA for being fantastic hosts once again!

An event is not just a venue. It’s a strategy.

At Black Vanilla, we don’t do tick-box planning. We create events that reflect your brand, strengthen relationships and drive results.

From setting business-aligned objectives to post-event content that extends your impact, our approach ensures your event works harder—and smarter.

Is your digital presence ready for AI search?

Google search is changing. Fast. 📉

With new AI features like Overviews giving users instant answers, fewer people are clicking through to websites. That means less traffic, more competition, and a new way of thinking about how people find your brand online.

For small businesses and brands that rely on organic visibility or ad revenue, this shift is massive.

But it’s not all doom and gloom.

✅ Clear, well-structured content is more important than ever
✅ FAQs and question-led copy help AI surface your content
✅ Helpful, credible info is what gets seen (and summarised)

As proud members of the CIPR, we're pleased to see the professional body sign the Venice Declaration on AI — a global pledge promoting responsible and ethical use of artificial intelligence in public relations.

As AI continues to reshape our industry, aligning on principles of transparency, accountability and humanity is more important than ever.

Did you know we released our own AI principles in January 2024? It’s brilliant to see more PR organisations worldwide committing to ethical standards and a responsible approach to innovation.

Climate change. Misinformation. Social inequality.

These aren’t just global problems, they’re business problems too.

From your customers’ trust to your bottom line, these challenges affect everything.

That’s why strategic PR matters.

It helps businesses build credibility, communicate with purpose, and handle crises with honesty. It’s not about spin - it’s about solutions.
