Collectivist Agency Meetup, London
Last week, twelve agency leaders from across the Collectivist network travelled to London to learn from each other and build closer relations.
Attending agency leaders included: Mike and Toni, Wired Island (US); Rahme, Avani and Lisa, Techcomms (UK & Ireland); Chris Jargon (UK); Simona, Shin Communication (Italy); Helene, Elektron Presse (France); Stella and Miek, Progress Communications (Benelux); Louay, Active (Middle-East) and Judith, DUO Marketing + Communications (Africa).

We just about managed to avoid PowerPoint across our 2-day meetup, and instead focused on delivering sessions that would bring us together through talking, listening, interacting, drawing, presenting, engaging, and (a lot of laughing).
If you are considering rolling out a PR campaign globally, or even just across a few countries or regions, defining, understanding, and testing the connections between your agency partners in each country is important. It needs to be more than just a flashy website or fancy network map if it is going to deliver measurable results.
Not only does the Collectivist agency network have the scale to take your PR global, but our agencies also think and work the same way, so you get the same experience across borders.
All agencies are tech-specialists.
All agencies deliver the PESO model of communications.
And, importantly, we’re not wasting your time whilst we learn to work together and get comfortable, because we’re already there.
First interactive session under way
The agency leaders had a great meetup learning more about using AI in our operations from @Isabella Williamson, agency continuity and resilience from @Paul Mitchell, pitch and proposal perfection from @Dave Wedderburn, and SEO/GEO from @Simon Schneiders, CEO of Blue Array and former SEO manager for the Daily Mail.
In between so much learning and knowledge sharing, we also managed to walk 528 steps to the top of St Paul’s Cathedral, take a boat ride along the Thames, walk around the Tower of London, and stop for a photo on Tower Bridge. If you are taking your PR global, we are a team and we can help!
