🌊 From local rock pools to national shorelines🦀

How do you turn a grassroots marine science initiative into a nationwide citizen movement?

This spring, we partnered with the brilliant team at The Rock Pool Project to deliver The Big Rock Pool Challenge—a UK-wide BioBlitz campaign inspiring communities to explore their coastlines and record invasive marine species.

Our role? To help bring their bold vision to life.


Here’s what we delivered:
✅ Audience insight and persona development
✅ National-to-local comms strategy
✅ Regionally tailored content & media outreach
✅ Vibrant visual assets
✅ Email & social copy that converted interest into action
✅ Media training to boost in-house confidence

📈 The results:
🔹 1617 records submitted
🔹 338 species identified
🔹 Participation across 20+ UK sites
🔹 Uplift in digital engagement (including a 15.5% rise in LinkedIn followers!)
🔹 A more empowered, confident client team

We’re proud to support purpose-led organisations like this to turn big ideas into real-world impact. https://buff.ly/eQyioHL

🚨 BIG NEWS ALERT 🚨

We’re officially a Certified B Corp!
Score: 84.6

This means The Agile Communications Agency is now part of a global community of businesses putting people and planet on equal footing with profit. 💚

We’ve always believed that purposeful communication can create real, tangible change — whether that’s amplifying community voices, championing regeneration, or storytelling for net-zero. Becoming a B Corp cements that into our actual DNA.

Huge shoutout to our absolute powerhouse Charla Symons who led the entire application like the legend she is spreadsheets, policies, audits and all!

And to our founder and director Rachel Foster, whose vision (and tenacity!) got us here in the first place

We’re buzzing to join a network of values-led businesses who believe in doing good and doing it well.

Next up? Keep pushing boundaries. Keep telling stories that matter. Keep showing the world that business can be a force for good.

Let’s go!

🤔 Would you rather: marketing edition

Would you rather...

🎨 Create stunning visuals – but your copy has a rogue typo

OR

🧠 Nail the messaging – but you have to use a stock photo that is very 2003?

You HAVE to pick one. Which one are you choosing?

Love trying out new retro styles? Us too! They can help keep retrospectives fun and engaging. We recently tried a new mountain format out that was definitely a hit!
We called it Hell-Yeah-Vellyn (Helvellyn is a mountain on Rachel’s list to conquer!)

⛰️ On the mountain, we shared our ropes – what assisted us in reaching our goal.
🪨 The boulders – what obstacles stood in our way.
🌦️ The weather - how we felt about our hike.
⛑️ And first aid – what would help make our next trek easier.

What retrospectives have you been trying recently?

🎧 What’s your work soundtrack?

At Agile HQ, we’ve all got different vibes when we’re in the zone:

🤫 Charla’s all about the sweet sound of silence
🎸 Lyssa cranks up the heavy rock to power through
🎤 Rachel’s got feisty female vocals on repeat (think Stevie Nicks energy)

So tell us - what are you listening to when you’re deep in work mode?

🌟 What a great way to start the day!

Huge thanks to Cornwall Museum for hosting this morning’s breakfast networking event. We loved getting an early look at the new Minerals Room – it’s absolutely brilliant 💎.

It was fantastic to catch up with the local community, share ideas, and explore a bit of Cornwall’s fascinating natural history. The perfect start to the day.

Walking boosts creativity by up to 60% (cheers, Stanford 📚), helps ideas flow more freely, and fills your brain with those little glimmers ✨ that make work feel more meaningful.

Plus, fresh air and squirrels? Yes please.

Welcome to our Radical Candor era.

✨ Feedback fuels great work - but how we give and receive it really matters.

💜 In this article, Rachel Foster shares how embracing Radical Candor (care personally, challenge directly) is shaping her leadership style - and how a kind-but-clear “thanks but no thanks” turned into a stronger client relationship.

💡 If you're navigating feedback cycles or tricky conversations, this one's for you.
