shake communications black sheep

CREATED DIFFERENTLY

It's noisy out there. On social, in store, online, in the media.

Everyone's shouting to make themselves heard.

How do you set yourself apart?

How do you make a genuine connection

with the people you want to reach and inspire?

You do it by blazing your own trail, not comparing or competing.

You do it with experience, understanding, imagination and emotion.

That's what you get when you have us in your corner.

It's time to shake things up.

Stand out communications

To play, press and hold the enter key. To stop, release the enter key.

Identity and communications across all channels

Powerful podcasts to tell your story

Creating coverage that counts

Brandlines, headlines, cut-through copy, scroll-stopping blogs and insights

Strategy, content, & management, for a social less ordinary!

Telling your story through film, including aerial filming

From ad hoc campaigns, to stand out seasonal activity

Helping you and your business develop

It’s been a while 😂 It’s been hectic, but it’s time to share some of the things we’ve been getting up to!

First things first, @jojusolarltd are featured in the new episode of the @fullychargedshow chatting about the Powerwall 3 and whether it’s the best home storage battery around.

Check out the conversation by tapping the link in our bio ⬆️

It’s great to share one of the very first Powerwall 3 installs and possibly the first double install! ⚡️

If home solar and storage interests you, Joju are going to be at the Everything Electric show at Farnborough International from tomorrow throughout the weekend. They’re on stand H10 for a chat, or you can have a look at jojusolar.co.uk.

Something a bit different from us this Valentine’s Day.

We’ve been helping C Supplies create a campaign to support people in the UK who are having to decide whether to eat, or to heat their homes.

It supports those most in need by giving them a £25 food or fuel voucher. When you are in that position, the impact of receiving £25 can be huge.

Last week, C Supplies received this message from a charity who put forward a lady for a £25 voucher:

“If anyone is in any doubt about the impact of a £25 e card, here is the response from someone last night. Thank you so much for setting it up”.

The recipient wrote:

“At this point I could cry with so much appreciation. It is so needed. I will be happy to accept a Tesco voucher please”.

You can find out more about the campaign here -

https://www.eatorheat.com

An appeal has been launched for any donation to help, however much you can spare. It will then go directly to giving £25 food or fuel vouchers to people who are having to choose between eating or heating.

Thanks for your love and support.

Doing lots of great work with @jojusolarltd and it’s culminated in another award for Joju Charging, who won for the second year running at the emobility awards last night.

Joju Charging works with public sector organisations and businesses to design, install, and maintain EV charging infrastructure, reduce CO2 emissions and lead the charge!

Very proud to work together and this award is so well-deserved. It just goes to show what hard work and a genuine purpose to do good can achieve.

Happy Friday! 🎉

A brilliant day this time last week, with social enterprises in Somerset ‘making some noise’ for Social Enterprise Day. And wow... noise was seriously made!

Loved creating this campaign, and going on a mini tour of social enterprises in the county, to record some conversations and share more about the awesome organisations doing business for good - with profits going back into the community/mission of the social enterprise.

To keep up with all things social enterprise in Somerset, just follow @somerset.social.enterprise. The Network supports social-purpose organisations in the county, with info, training, networking, and lots more besides!

It’s #SocialEnterpriseDay today - a day to celebrate the social purpose-driven organisations in your neck of the woods! The ones who put profit back into our communities, or towards achieving an environmental mission.

There are so many incredible social enterprises in Somerset. @somersetcool is visiting some of them today with @somerset.social.enterprise, so head to their Instagram for updates… and if you want to show your support for social enterprise on your social media channels today, here’s an idea:

1. Download this poster: https://bit.ly/3FK172v ⬇️ (Link also in our bio, for today)

2. Take a photo with it 📷

Started the week by bringing together the latest on the food insecurity and poverty situation in the UK, for C Supplies. It makes difficult reading,

Working with C Supplies to support their communications and strategy activity is something we’re proud to do, for an organisation with caring at the heart of it.

The team helps charities and grant-giving organisations to deliver food, energy and emergency cash out vouchers to people in need, and there’s more support coming from the team next year too.

That’s how we roll! 😉

Hope everyone is keeping well.

This #worldevday, here’s a shout out for Joju Charging.

The day is intended to support the shift to emobility and working closely with the team at Joju, we see just how much commitment and dedication goes into making that happen… for individuals, public sector organisations and businesses, day in, day out.

16 years ago the @jojusolarltd business was founded to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality, and it constantly works towards that goal with a team of people who genuinely believe in making a difference.

Joju helps design and install charging infrastructure to support existing EV drivers, and to encourage people who are thinking of making the switch - here’s a cracker of an install at Old Market Yard in Dorset.

Go Joju! 😉

Wow, it’s been a busy old time!

One of the things we’re doing at the moment, is immersing ourselves in social enterprise - those purpose-driven businesses using profits for good, reinvesting them back into the business and for the benefit of the communities they serve. It’s certainly a refreshing business approach.

There are so many incredible social enterprises out there, and we feel proud to be working with @somerset.social.enterprise - an organisation helping to support purpose-driven organisations and social enterprises in the county of Somerset.

If you haven’t checked them out, do give them a follow. We’re sharing some great stories of social enterprises, and there are lots more exciting things on the way too!

Have a great week.

Spot the Electric Vehicle charge point! 😉

Our client @jojusolarltd is helping many local authorities design and install EV Charging Infrastructure.

These clever charge points can be installed in bollards (& lamp posts) to save space and give residents a way to charge their electric vehicles if they don’t have a driveway or home charge point.

This example is in Portsmouth, as Joju has been working with the council to install 62 charge points across the city.

That’s what we call #leadingthecharge 🔌🧡

We're lucky to work with some genuinely inspiring people and businesses who are doing things differently, leading the way in their chosen field.

One of those people is Psychotherapist, mental health advocate and Founder and CEO of PVL @petra.velzeboer, and late last year, Jenna chatted with Petra on the radio.

Today, on Time to Talk Day, we're sharing that conversation in full with you.

Petra escaped from a cult, hit her own mental health rock bottom, turned her life around, and now helps businesses revolutionise mental health at work and beyond… supporting people to talk about their mental health and work to end stigma.

Even though we now know Petra’s story well, it moves and inspires us every time we hear it.

If you’d like to listen too, click the link in our bio to hear Petra talking about her life, her own mental health and the things that can help us all have more open conversation.

We’re thinking about you every day and willing you on 😊💚

Josephine is one of the most wise and strong people we know. When she was diagnosed with a rare brain and spine condition years ago, she spent a long time in hospital and wrote an incredible book about her experiences. We know she’s using her ‘Anything is Possible’ mindset now too.

Even though some days might not be good, Josephine is a great believer in seeing something good in every day, so whatever that might be for you today, here’s to treasuring those moments 💚

It’s a response we had several times last week after client catch ups, and it’s what we love to hear. People excited to work with us, excited to hear new ideas, to make changes to the way their brands and businesses are communicated, and to plan and deliver something fresh together.

Shaking things up is exciting - as is seeing the results resonate with existing customers and new audiences alike.

Just had to share this - our client @stevejamesltd’s incredible Cookies & Cream Cheesecake with a Mulled Wine Glaze. Pass us a slice? 😍

It’s perfect for the festive table and the recipe is in @somersetlifemagazine now.

He’s just a bit talented, our Steve! 😉

Great photography too by @richardbudd 📷

One of the joys of the job is supporting creative leaders.

Helping brands and businesses see things differently, move towards their goals and inspire their audiences is one of the things we do best. That’s why it was lovely to get this feedback after a recent zoom.

Sometimes it helps to talk it through, collaborate and come up with a fresh approach.

Here’s to a turning it on its head #testimonialtuesday 😉

It’s a @stpaulandthebrokenbones kind of week for us this week.

Get that vinyl on the turntable, and turn it up loud!

Have a great, creative week and maybe shake things up a little? 😉

An orange star on our social can only mean one thing… another award for @jojusolarltd.

This time it’s ‘Contractor of the Year’ for Joju Charging at the prestigious EVIES - and it’s for the second year running 😮

The Electric Vehicle Innovation and Excellence Awards recognise the very best in the EV industry and the award for Joju is so well-deserved.

The team helps public sector organisations, businesses and homeowners make the switch to electric vehicles by designing and installing the right EV charge point infrastructure.

Helping to fight climate change is the reason the company was set up 15 years ago and it’s a privilege working together.

Go Joju! 🧡🔌

Loving this from our awesome client @stevejamesltd. We’ve had a peek at the other recipes too and they are 👌😍 Posted @withregram • @stevejamesltd Hello #November! As we’re starting it with #worldveganday today, here’s a sneak peek of a recipe I’ve developed to feature in @somersetlifemagazine for #veganuary.

Check out my Roasted cauliflower, mushroom and almond tagine. It’s absolutely delicious… as well as beautifully photographed by @RichardBudd
@dorsetfoodanddrinkphotographer

There will be two other vegan recipes along with this one too, and I’ll let you know when they’re out!

A cracker of a #shakesoundtrack to start November.

It’s the 2nd album by @tankusthehenge - I crave affection baby but not when I drive - and it’s topical because Jenn interviewed Tankus frontman, singer, songwriter, piano player (and piano dancer!) Jaz Delorean on her ‘Big Night In’ radio show on #bbcradiosomerset on Friday night.

To hear the chat, click the link in our bio and head 1 hour 11 mins into the show. We’ll also be making a little audio blog of the conversation in the coming weeks as well.

Have a great week.

Trouble will find me… that’s what we’re listening to for our #shakesoundtrack this week!

Apparently, this album was the first one The National “really enjoyed making” according to Aaron Dessner and we’ve got a week of making stuff we’ll really enjoy too.

No trouble involved in any way though! 😂

Have a great week.

Celebrating our awesome client @glastoqueenofcups today too! Check out their incredible food if you haven’t already ❤️ Posted @withregram • @glastoqueenofcups Morning! We have some incredible news to start off the week... we're Tripadvisor's NUMBER ONE restaurant in Glastonbury! 🥂🎉

It's such a joy and privilege to bring flavours of the Mediterranean and Middle East to Somerset, and to reach the number one spot is just the icing on our cake... or the garnish on our falafel! 😆

We'd like to say a big thank you to all of our guests, staff and brilliant suppliers across the South West. We couldn't have done it without you and we can't wait to keep bringing more QoC to the table... literally!

Have a fab Monday.

📸 is a mezze of our laverbread falafel, barbecued leek with vegan blue sheese and hummus with harissa and pumpkin seeds.

This week has flown by so quickly that we didn’t even get chance to post our #shakesoundtrack 😂

Instead, you can’t beat a sparkly silver amplifier and as we’ve been preparing a mini proposal to help a potential client amplify her presence, it fits perfectly! 😉

Have a great Friday. Turn the music up loud! 🖤
