Advent achieved ‘excellent media and digital media exposure’ for this year’s RISING Global Peace Forum in Coventry, the city’s premier annual peace event.

We secured widespread coverage across regional, national and international media, arranging interviews and supplying articles for outlets including The Guardian and BBC Radio 5 Live, and managed social media during the three-day event which alone resulted in a surge in impressions by over 300 per cent and profile visits by over 800 per cent on @RISINGforum.

The event, which attracted high-profile speakers including two former Prime Ministers, also drew the largest audience in 32 years for the Lord Mayor’s Peace Lecture, delivered by Baroness Chakrabarti.
