DTW has once again secured the prestigious Communications Management Standard (CMS) awarded by the Public Relations Communications Association (PRCA). This achievement marks our 11th year of successful CMS accreditation.
It’s not been a good week for Government communicators and public relations professionals in the UK. Our MD Chris Taylor takes issue with anonymous briefings about spin doctors, the plans to massively cut UK Government comms activity and the challenges ahead.
Very occasionally we see an advert or campaign that stops us in our tracks: something that resonates, speaks our language, and makes us sit up and listen. Surprisingly, it doesn’t happen as often as it should – especially when the aim is behaviour change. Maybe that’s because there’s so much noise out there: we have become partially deaf and blind to the millions of messages we see every day. Perhaps, many are bland, exactly the same as what’s gone before. Or, perhaps, they are not actually speaking our language at all. Hats off then to City of York Council, which
With more and more of us connecting virtually using Zoom, Teams and other online systems, DTW Director Lorna McAteer-Bingham takes a look at some of the simple steps you can take to help make your online meeting a success.

Today’s topic was a nice easy one to start with…..“With the easing of the lockdown, what is the new normal for construction?” Hosted by Infrastructure Intelligence (it’s worth signing up to their twice weekly newsletter if you don’t already) it was a really thought-provoking and interesting session. We heard from Georgia Hughes from Arcadis, Hannah Vickers, Chief Executive of the Association for Consultancy and Engineering, Matt Blackwell from Costain and Mark

Whilst there’s light at the end of the tunnel in terms of being able to resume filming, DTW Director Pete Whelan looks at some of the ways you can keep your content fresh in the meantime. The world changed overnight when the lockdown was announced. In terms of communications, one of the biggest areas of impact was filming. We just had to stop overnight. Even as we start
