Proud to share that Woodrow won Best Campaign (Association category) at the EMEA SABRE Awards for our work with the CLA. This was a campaign to make rural Britain unignorable — and it did. From FOIs that revealed forces tackling rural crime without torches, to polling that shifted party leaders’ priorities — and taking on Treasury figures that downplayed how inheritance tax would hit farmers — we built a media strategy that changed the conversation. 70,000 farms affected, it turns out. Not 500.

Why are two in three investors considering dropping their maritime investments? In 2024, sustainability factors increasingly underpin financial markets’ decision-making. For shipowners and operators, maritime technology companies and other players, this can be a challenge. Woodrow’s deep strategic communications experience in the maritime sector means we can help.

An advocacy group has launched to address the mental health challenges faced by men working in the PR industry. The Third – so named because men account for roughly one-third of the comms workforce – aims to bridge the gap in mental-health awareness in the industry. The advocacy group will focus on promoting open dialogue and building a supportive network for men across a fragmented agency landscape. The initiative has been launched by Charlie Tarr, founder and chief executive of Woodrow, and Oli Bradley, managing director of Words + Pixels.

Why communications leaders have forgotten their why, how diversity and inclusion starts with your company culture, and the advice younger professionals should adhere to. We recently spoke with Charlie Tarr, Founder and CEO of Woodrow – one of Europe’s fastest-growing communications consultancies – about his journey to impact-driven comms, and the biggest changes he’s seeing in the industry.

The fast-growing strategic comms firm has appointed David Karega to lead expansion in the region, including major philanthropic clients. London-headquartered strategic communications consultancy Woodrow has appointed former Ogilvy leader David Karega to lead its practice in Africa. Karega (pictured) had been at Ogilvy Africa since 2019, latterly as deputy managing partner for PR and influence.
