- Just Giving has gone live again (!)
- ACTION: Now the page is back up, please can those amazing people/organisations that have pledged pending contributions make them asap this week on the justgiving site please, as we are now engaged with the PR agency and if everyone does that we’ll be at over £50k - thank you! www.oneindustryonevoice.co.uk
- Good progression generally from new supporters – sporting/hotel/expo/cultural - representation growing all the time across the different associations - for example: Advertising Association, IPM, PRCA, Elsevier, The Arena Group, Accor Group, CVENT, A Man About A Dog (main London festival/music event organiser) – great work TeamWasserman, Martin, Tim, Claire etc!
- Movement on high profilers - close to securing more music/Sporting individuals as well as looking at DJ’s, regional mayors etc.
- Claire + Anita to liaise on conversations with NSPCC and other charity CEOs.
- ACTION: If anyone knows of any large-scale charities CEO’s – please let us know?
PR update/Creative Group - Action Plan review
- Had second PR agency meeting, Friday 18th September reviewing key Action Plan and Messaging document
- Concern around not seeing anything in Q4- potentially seeing another 3-week national lockdown – how do we manage that around our campaign? Still have everything ready to go for first few weeks of October and then go live as appropriate from PR agency advice/national press vibe etc – ie looking forward to 2021 etc.
- Need to be clear on a core narrative – around safety but need to keep in mind messaging vs lockdown.
- ACTION: keen for general views on timing – we cannot be insensitive to where we are at nationally, public perception wise?
- Need to liaise with PHA for a strategy based on all the above – possible underlying message to say we are ready when we get the say so…
