🤝You're looking for help with your PR and communication but where do you start? How do you choose one agency over another?

Founder and CEO, Debbie Staveley talks about what makes bClear different, how we retain our clients for over a decade and what our staff are appraised against.

"I love nothing better than taking a company when it's either a year old and it wants to be central to the market or when it's more established but really wants to get a foothold against its competitors, some of our clients have had amazing growth stories".

Sounds like your kind of place? Get in contact today and we'll make your expertise impossible to ignore.

We regularly see excellent businesses doing really exciting things... and they still don't think they have anything newsworthy to say to the mortgage and financial services press.

Sometimes being so close to the day to day running of the business can mean you can't see the wood for the trees and actually, what seems commonplace to you, is really interesting to your audience.

We had a client who introduced a new technology that significantly improved their service and delivered better results.

The business viewed it as something to celebrate internally but didn't realise its value as an external headline. Actually, it was exactly the kind of news their potential clients wanted to hear about.

A story they weren't even going to release ended up generating 30 pieces of coverage across target publications, working towards cementing them as a trusted authority in the industry.

They're not alone. We often see businesses generate insights every day, sometimes even pay for research and collect data but don't know what to do with it or don't realise it's value.

What you see as every day workings of your business could actually be really interesting to journalists and your audience.

Next time something changes in your business, ask yourself:
Is this surprising?
Does it signal a wider trend?
How does it affect people?
Is this new or unique in our sector?

You might find your news is far more interesting to the wider industry than you first realised.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Still not sure if something's newsworthy?

For our clients, we know their business inside and out, we know where they sit in the industry and where they want to be.
Our 360 view bridges the gap between you, journalists and your audience, extracting information you already have and making it newsworthy, suitable for the right publications and speaking directly to your audience in a way that connects.
We know what is news. Equally we know what isn't.

What would you do in a crisis?

M&S, Jaguar Land Rover, Microsoft, not to mention Ed Sheeran and Sydney Sweeney, and now ASOS.

Last week, ASOS's PR team would've been working overtime as customers received a worrying alert pushed directly to their home screens following a cyberattack on the retailer.

Crises come in all shapes and sizes and are accompanied with that sinking feeling of opening your computer one day and seeing something has gone awry: maybe a cyberhack, maybe a disgruntled former employee taking to social media.

How you respond to a crisis can make all the difference between success and failure. Handled poorly, the consequences can be huge, both financially and reputationally.

ASOS hesitated before issuing their holding statement and speculation and fear swirled in its absence and stock price fell 13%. Ed Sheeran's recent reputational damage comes from what he didn't do.

Minimise the stress and that sinking feeling and read our blog for eight steps to building a crisis plan.

---------------------------------

Trust and a good reputation are built when everything is going smoothly, long before a crisis hits. That trust will help you weather the storm.

At bClear, we have over twenty years of experience helping mortgage and financial services businesses achieve their goals, raise their profile and protect their reputation. If a crisis does occur, we're just at the other end of the phone, ready to guide your business and help protect your reputation.

Good luck to the other agencies and teams on the shortlist 🥂

🎉 Game-changing new LinkedIn feature

You can now create joint LinkedIn posts with other people and businesses.

Like these little pups, you've probably worked along side someone on your project/launch/announcement/event or whatever it may be.

You can now tag up to five contributors in your post and, once they accept, it appears on their profile too.

That means your post reaches both your audience and theirs.

It also means you don't need to decide whether to post from your business account or your personal account. Do both!

Most importantly, this can add credibility to your content. AI is taking over and you don't always know what's real and what's not, but it can't replace the relationships you've built. Post as equal partners: collaborating provides third-party proof that's far more powerful than saying it yourself.

You're already working together and doing the hard work behind the scenes. Now your voice can be amplified when you share it.

LinkedIn's algorithm is constantly changing, but this is a fab update. Tomorrow we'll talk more about what LinkedIn wants. Are you tracking the right metrics?

Great night at for the launch of Westmarq at the Sky Gardens, the views were phenomenal.

Richard Sexton and Jamie Elliott spoke about creating a business that can respond to where lenders are going, staying nimble and innovative, rather than simply continuing to operate in the way the surveying industry has traditionally operated.

There was a focus on a no one-size-fits-all approach. Different lenders have different needs and risk appetites, so why should they all get the same service?

And perhaps the word that summed up the evening best came from Paula Matthews: Partnerships.

A great evening and an exciting next chapter for Westmarq, thanks for having us.
