The Annual Wren Talk – The Great Fire of London

DELIVERED BY WRITER AND HISTORIAN ADRIAN TINNISWOOD

DATE: 14th June | 7pm-8:15pm

St Bride’s Church, Fleet Street, London See full event details

Writer and historian Adrian Tinniswood pieces together the human story of the Fire
and its aftermath, providing a reconstruction of what happened to schoolchildren,
and servants, courtiers and clergymen.

The Great Fire wasn’t simply a tragedy of economics and architecture, some
436 acres of closely packed streets burned, 13,200 houses destroyed, millions of
pounds lost; it also killed and maimed, and it drove Londoners mad in their quest
for vengeance.

Tinniswood, a seasoned lecturer and broadcaster, explores the history of a cataclysm
and its consequences from the fi rst small blaze to the rebirth of the City.
Paul Finch, editorial director of Architects’ Journal, will introduce The Wren Talk
which takes place as part of the London Festival of Architecture.

IBP Communication and PR Awards 2019: Full Results

Outstanding Contribution to PR in the built environment

To mark our Build on 50 Anniversary a special award, Outstanding Contribution to PR in the built environment, was presented to Clare Ward.

Click to read more

Gerald Bowey recall, when presenting the award: “Clare was a courageous woman in a predominately fundamentally ‘man’s world’ particularly in the construction industry and was in the vanguard of creating good relations between the media and her clients in the North West.”

“At a time when the North West was crying out for innovative infrastructure projects and the development of the urban environment – seeking funding and demanding recognition for growth in a vital hub of the UK Clare was organising some of the most impressive and effective press visits to see the potential in the area and to meet some of the key players in the local property sector.”

“She established the North West Property Lunch and Question Time with, amongst others, the team behind the Manchester bid for the 2000 Summer Olympics and supported the IBP North West Regional Journalism Awards.”

“She continues to dominate the region but also represents her client’s best interests on a national and international basis.”

 

As part of the Build on 50 programme, to mark the 50th Anniversary of International Building Press the Communication and PR Awards were presented in conjunction with the Journalism Awards to reflect both the mix of the membership and, like good journalism, to recognise and reward good PR.

The Communication and PR Awards judging panels are chaired by leading built environment magazine editors who judge all the entries with PR Practitioners, the Winners therefore represent the best work in our sector for 2019.

PR CONSULTANCY OF THE YEAR

The Double Unit - WINNER
London Communications Agency
Newgate Communications

PR CONSULTANCY OF THE YEAR

London Communications Agency

A lively presentation from an enthusiastic team. The London Communications Agency has had a strong year, with fee income and number of built environment projects showing significant growth. Business strategies included building a dedicated in-house team which works with clients to design and deliver creative content across print and digital: the agency’s expansion into website design, infographics, video animation and social media content got a big tick from the judges. The company has also expanded its services beyond London (their traditional base) into the wider South East and has moved into direct architecture communications.

Newgate Communications

Newgate Communications presented well as a team: thoughtful, considered and with the feel of a meaningful conversation rather than a ‘pitch’. Their PR campaign for Taylor Wimpey Central London looked to position the firm as a key residential developer in zones 1 and 2 across its new-build developments, and particularly support the launch of its Postmark flagship residential scheme. Approaches included an exclusive networking event held at Postmark and clear communication about the heritage of the sites. Newsgate’s brief has since been expanded to manage the Taylor Wimpey Central London community engagement and construction PR programme – and it was here that the judges felt the team were strongest, admirably led by associate partner Alex Reid, who communicated with warmth and insight about navigating an ‘ever-evolving story’.

The Double Unit - WINNER

The Double Unit stood out for the way in which it has transcended the usual parameters of PR, acting more as expert business and management consultants. This approach, the judges felt, made a real difference to their clients’ business. The team’s presentation had a clear narrative – focused on their razor-sharp strategy to raise the profile of Amos Goldreich Architecture and concentrating on the practice’s work delivered over the course of a year. Actions fell into two categories, business growth and expanding networks; and boosting their client’s public presence through targeted press coverage, events, awards and online.

Social media approaches adopted a ‘story telling approach’ and emphasized the practice’s personality: this activity alone resulted in two new projects for the practice s a result of The Double Unit’s rigour in tracking new business leads, and the way it helped the client revise its fee templates to substantially improve its conversion rates.

The team’s practical method delved deep into their client’s processes to make sure that PR and communications didn’t stop at press releases but supported business development at all levels.

COMMUNICATOR OF THE YEAR

Amelie Barrau, Gensler (formally WSP) - WINNER

Amelie is an outstanding communicator, whose passion and expertise shone through in her presentation, as well as her devotion to nurturing and reassuring colleagues both on the communications team and within the wider business. Committed, enthusiastic, hard-working and ambitious. Her attention to detail and caring approach to developing a proactive communications strategy which delivered impressive results was impressive.

Alex Reid, Newgate Communications – HIGHLY COMMENDED

Alex Reid, associate partner at Newgate Communications, really stood out during the PR Consultancy Team presentation process. His expert and professional approach was evident as he addressed challenging questions about community engagement and affordable housing, and his easy confidence made it clear that he would make a great spokesperson for a major client if they ever find themselves in a crisis management situation.

Perhaps more importantly, he had an excellent rapport with his team, allowing more junior members the time and space to contribute, and giving them the opportunity to learn from the experience.


IN-HOUSE COMMUNICATIONS TEAM OF THE YEAR

Savills - WINNER
Colliers International

IN-HOUSE COMMUNICATIONS TEAM OF THE YEAR

Colliers International

Colliers International presented well and put the focus of their presentation on one sector impressing the judges with their specific work with senior Colliers staff in terms of briefing and supporting them to provide expert analysis in national and broadcast press.

Savills - WINNER

Savills presented a cross-sector range of communications work, keeping its finger on the pulse to deliver up-to-date advice for clients based on the realities they faced on the ground. As well as advising clients on how to engage with the media, the team advised clients when not to speak out. Clearly respected and heavily relied upon within the wider Savills organization, the team was able to demonstrate how it had helped to produce better business outcomes through its work.

Executive Board Message 2021

I think you will all agree that it has been quite a year, but hopefully we should see a return to something that is, if not normal, then closer to normal life as we begin to pick-up the pieces and engage with colleagues and face-to-face business challenges.

The lockdown has given the IBP executive board a chance to reflect and review where we are as a membership organisation, and to look at how we might want to shape the role of the organisation going forward.

The executive board has lots of ideas and you will hear more about these initiatives over the next months as we prepare for this year’s journalism awards. If you have any ideas that you would like to share with the board please let me know by email to: Harriett.Hindmarsh@aecom.com

Harriett-HindmarshHarriett Hindmarsh,
Chair of the Board for IBP and Vice President, Global Marketing and Communications at AECOM. ​

I’ve worked in the built environment industry as a communications professional for over 10 years and in that time I’ve seen the role evolve enormously.
