This year’s PRWeek UK x People Like Us Gender & Ethnicity Pay Gap Report gained more submissions than ever, which is great. We are proud to have submitted our data and showed up since the report's beginnings.  Transparency matters. It’s how we move the industry forward. That’s why we’re shouting about our numbers and our commitment to doing better. The Splendid Collective is proud to be part of the change.   ·      Women make up 84% of our workforce and 50% of our board. Representation at all levels is something we’re proud of and we’ll keep pushing to maintain and grow it. ·      When it comes to the ethnicity pay gap, we recognise there’s more work to do. While we’ve welcomed new team members from diverse backgrounds in junior roles, we currently have no ethnic representation at board or director level. That’s not good enough and changing it is a key priority for the business, and the work we do. ·      We’re proud that there’s no ethnicity pay gap at mid-level roles like Account Manager and Account Director, where we have strong ethnic minority talent. Succession planning and inclusive talent development are central to our long-term strategy.   We were glad to attend the launch event and connect with other agencies who also took part, reminding us how powerful collective action can be.   We hope more agencies will submit their data next year. Let’s keep the momentum going. 💪

This week we launched a spicy new campaign with Bisto for the all new Peri-Peri Gravy, featuring Perri Kiely! Because who knows Peri-Peri better than Perri (Perri), a self confessed gravy fanatic? New research reveals the true extent of our nation’s love of gravy, with the average Brit tucking into 5.6 litres a year. That means we each spend nearly two months of our lives enjoying gorgeous gravy. So we’re turning up the heat on this gravy love affair, introducing flavour packed Bisto Peri-Peri Gravy. Get your hands on a tub of the good stuff and head to Perri’s Instagram to be in with a chance of winning! Will you dunk or drizzle?

2025 marks the second year of Studio Monkey Shoulder: a global music initiative from Monkey Shoulder, in partnership with Worldwide FM, and managed by Splendid Communications alongside our sister agency Kingdom Collective. Earlier this year, Studio Monkey Shoulder travelled to Berlin for Is That All There Is?, a weekend-long celebration of 90mil, a DIY music venue that transformed a once-derelict building into a thriving hub for creativity, community, and Berlin’s countercultural scene. 90mil are one of five global communities receiving a £10,000 grant from Studio Monkey Shoulder to help power their music projects and keep grassroots culture alive. Watch the film to discover their story and see why spaces like 90mil are vital for sustaining diverse and independent music communities worldwide. 🎥 Worldwide FM

This summer, Splendid Communications unveiled a bold new proposition and now, our new look website reflects it. New look. Same Splendid energy. In a world of fast scrolls and short attention spans, shouting louder isn’t a strategy. Real impact comes from knowing how to show up in the moments and conversations that matter. At Splendid, we build earned-first ideas that connect with real people, in the places they spend time. The refreshed Splendidcomms.com highlights recent work showcased in our new conversations that COUNT framework - a strategic lens that shows how we spark cultural relevance and drive results. Clients also have access to our bespoke Splendid Mind AI insights tool and our 21 Panel Report, decoding what truly matters to modern audiences.
