Visual PR LIVE! Ep. 5 – The Power of Collaboration – Combining Strengths! – With guests Graeme Leighfield (GEL Studios) and Clare McDougall (Phoenix Enterprises)

Tuesday 11th June 2024 - 1pm

Visual PR LIVE features three main parts.

Part one: Tips from Visual PR on how to use live and/or long-form conversational video and resulting assets, and how to get the most of out of them all by linking them together.

Part two: A guest from the business community to not only touch on what they do but to leave you with at least one golden nugget of advice from their speciality to help you or your organisation.

Part Three: Charity Spotlight section where we welcome someone from a charity either chosen by our business guest, or by Visual PR. With many charities operating across the world, it is easy to miss just why it is so vital, and what they do to achieve their objectives. Charities are not just about raising money but about making a difference, and there are various ways this can be achieved above and beyond the money that is raised to help them do it, and this makes more sense the more we can understand their motives, objectives, and methods.

In this episode, the content of the three sections are:

• Visual PR – “The power of collaboration – Combining Strengths! How video and audio content featuring others within and guests outside of your organisation can enhance the message and its credibility you are trying to share. But the collaboration doesn’t stop at collaborating with people, but how it is vital to make all of your marketing and PR assets and efforts benefit from feeding to and from each other to maximise their results.
• Business Guest – Graeme Leighfield, Founder, GEL Studios. GEL Studios is the brainchild and labour of love from Graeme and is an award-winning, B-Corp-certified creative agency based in Swindon that provides everything from branding to website and marketing services or workshops. But Graeme has championed the mantra of “collaboration, not competition” as he truly believes that so much can be achieved from working together rather than against or overly protective against each other. We will discuss his advice and feelings on this matter, following his eye-opening and thought-provoking presentation on this subject that we saw earlier this year. – www.gelstudios.co.uk 
• Charity Spotlight – Clare McDougall, CEO, Phoenix Enterprises. Phoenix Enterprises’s mission statement is “Improving social and financial inclusion for people in Swindon with mental health issues and learning difficulties through holistic support and work experience.” Each year they provide a vital safety net for over 100 vulnerable adults in Swindon with mental health issues, learning difficulties and physical disabilities. Their challenges range from Autism, Asperger’s and Down syndrome to depression and anxiety. Phoenix enriches lives by building employability skills. - www.phoenixenterprises.co.uk 

Visual PR is the missing link between PR and Marketing to create and maximise authentic connections with joined-up thinking. Regular, engaging, and natural conversational broadcasts which can be live and interactive, and then spawn social video clips, podcasts, blog posts, dynamic QR codes, and all linked and promoting each other to drive up the credible sharing of information, and deeper personal connections with you and your brand.

Don’t forget that on the live show viewers can add their questions/comments in the comments section of wherever you are watching the broadcast (YouTube, Facebook, or LinkedIn), and they can be put up on screen with your profile name and photo. So, get involved and ask away.

Charities are not just about raising money but about making a difference, and there are various ways this can be achieved above and beyond the money that is raised to help them do it, and this makes more sense the more we can understand their motives, objectives, and methods.

In this episode, the content of the three sections is:

1. Visual PR – “Authentic Connections, Right Message!” – we look at how adding talk-show style broadcasts/recordings increases your authenticity and engagement levels with viewers than just having scripted, edited, censored, and polished videos to the camera. But the trick is to take a leaf out of the PR world and not make your sales messages overt and off-putting.

Our shows are designed to help you gain control of how your information is received and perceived and to make sure that your authentic personalities and brands are seen, heard, and felt as they should and deserve to be.

PR is "the practice of managing and disseminating information from an individual or an organisation to the public in order to influence their perception", so it deserves to be brought to life rather than risk whether it is received in the tone and emotions that you intended, let alone read at all.

Visual PR works with individuals and organisations (and/or their PR/Marketing teams) to add client-branded episodes of this unique interactive conversational broadcast to their marketing and/or PR strategies, along with the creation of assets from each episode (such as social video clips, audio for podcasts, transcriptions, QR codes, etc.). They are commonly hosted and interviewed by our founder, professional sports commentator and live host/presenter, Chris Dawes, to help make you or your guests feel more comfortable and natural, and for the conversations to be informative, engaging, fun (if appropriate) and flowing.

Don’t forget that on the live show viewers can add their questions/comments in the comments section of wherever you are watching the broadcast (YouTube, Facebook, or LinkedIn), and they can be put up on screen with your profile name and photo. So, get involved and ask away.

Episode 2 of Visual PR LIVE (formerly Visual PR TV) starts the new monthly format of Visual PR’s representative show, which from now on will include three main parts.

You can also watch the episode in video format here: https://www.youtube.com/live/L2Sl-BG6lz0

Part one is to look at the key benefits of the live and interactive video podcast talk-show style productions that Visual PR broadcasts for our clients. Each month will include some key benefits and advice on how to get the most out of such creative content that is designed to elevate your brand and ignite your audience engagement.

Part two is to welcome and interview a guest from the business community to not only touch on what they do, but to leave you with at least one golden nugget of advice from their speciality to help you or your organisation.

The third part of each episode is something very close to our hearts, and this is a Charity Spotlight section where we welcome someone from a charity either chosen by our business guest, or by Visual PR, to delve into not just what the charity does, but why it is so important.

With many charities operating across the world, it is easy to miss just why it is so vital, and what they do to achieve their objectives. Charities are not just about raising money but about making a difference, and there are various ways this can be achieved above and beyond the money that is raised to help them do it, and this makes more sense the more we can understand their motives, objectives, and methods.

In this episode, the content of the three sections are:

• Visual PR – “It’s Not Just About the Show!” – we look at how we can really get the most out of each episode of your own regular video shows, including how to promote upcoming episodes, content, and guests, and how the full episode is more than just a growing evergreen library of useful knowledge and insights, but can provide a month or more worth of digital marketing assets each time in the form of social media ready clips.
• Business Guest – John Lewis of JL Mindset Performance help individuals or organisations achieve your personal, sporting, and/or business goals by getting the best out of you as an individual or as part of a team to reach your full potential. Plus they also provide Mental Health Certificated Training Courses to help you support individuals in your workplace (Mental Health First Aid).
  • www.jlmindsetperformance.co.uk 
• Charity Spotlight – Jeff Tucker from Best Mates – They aim to make a real difference in people’s lives through financial, emotional and physical support. They try to help someone have a more positive outlook on life or take away some stress and worry. They are not counsellors, nor do they offer advice. They are normal people who have gone through periods in their lives that enable them to relate to you on a very personal level. They do what a Best Mate would do and listen to you, never turn their backs on you, give you the shirt off their backs, and will tell you that you are being silly if you are being silly. They WILL point you in the right direction and get you the support you need from the right people.
