Woodrow’s head of Sustainability, Henry Kirby, spoke to Paul Holmes at PRovoke Media to share insights on the lessons communicators can take from last month’s COP29 climate conference.   Against a backdrop of widening cracks in global consensus on climate action, comms cut-through in 2025 will come as a result of:   1️⃣ Quiet influence trumps toothless fame: “As the summit demonstrated, achieving ambitious multilateral outcomes demands more than headline-grabbing stunts … the winners won’t be the loudest voices but the ones who know where and how to be heard.”   2️⃣ Impactful climate conversations will happen closer to home: “The most effective campaigns in 2025 will focus on local policies, domestic challenges, and national priorities. We’ll see a shift in focus from broad global initiatives to local battlegrounds where real change is within reach.”   Thoughts?

COP 29 is in full swing, and we’re shining a spotlight on influential voices from Woodrow's network who are shaping the climate and sustainability space.   Throughout COP, we’re asking key figures from our network three vital questions: 1. What’s the one topic they want to see high on the agenda? 2. What sustainability trends do they predict for 2025? 3. What gives them hope for the future of climate action? Today, we’re spotlighting:   Colin McElwee, co-founder of Catalyst 2030 – a global movement uniting social innovators to achieve the UN SDGs, and Rick Fox, co-founder of Partanna – a pioneering company creating sustainable building materials that remove carbon from the atmosphere.   Stay tuned for others throughout this year's conference.   #COP29 #Sustainability #ClimateAction

When emergencies strike, every second counts. Across Africa, response times can stretch from minutes to hours. It puts lives at risk. In Kenya, rescue.co has cut response times from 162 minutes to just 16, and as fast as 2 minutes in Nairobi. A perfect example of how technology and innovation save lives. And here’s the big news… Rescue.co has just partnered with Nike to bring emergency support to athletes. Superb work by our Nairobi office across the media this week. Rescue.co’s mission is to ensure Kenyans have access to fast, reliable emergency care. At Woodrow, we’re proud to support this vision and lead projects that put health and well-being first. #FuturePositive #HealthcareInnovation #EmergencyResponse #Kenya

Trump landing back in the White House has been no accident. But what was the strategy that led to this result? Here's our reflections... 1. Audience & Brand: Trump knows his crowd and sticks with them, using critics as fuel for his base. His “leadership story” is clear and consistent. 2. Messaging: His message is sharp, focused on the economy and the people. He’s positioned as the voice of working families, echoing, “It’s the economy, stupid.” 3. Attention-Grabbing Tactics: Blunt, memorable language and showmanship—from YMCA dance-offs to Big Macs—keep him in the spotlight. Harris lacked such standout moments. 4. The Missed Opportunity for Independence: Harris had the chance to show independence from Biden but didn’t take it. In a climate where Biden appears weak, voters may be looking for a leader who stands alone. Thoughts? Drop your take below. 👇 #Election #Messaging #CommsStrategy

Woodrow was on the frontlines of Budget day, ensuring the Treasury’s biggest betrayal didn’t go unnoticed.   In the cold calculus of this government, agricultural property relief is dismissed as a “loophole for millionaires.”   But for those working the land, it’s no loophole – it’s a lifeline for our family farms, our economy, and our food security.   We worked with The Country Land and Business Association to make sure this didn’t go unheard.   The result was more than 17 pieces of national coverage - and counting - including our comment being featured in a BBC headline.   90% of farmers are telling us this will impact our ability to feed ourselves.   Farms feed nations, this Budget could starve ours.
