April was a month bustling with activity. The country enjoyed the first bank holidays of the year over the Easter weekend, celebrated Earth Day, and in London we witnessed a record-breaking London Marathon with more participants than ever before.
With April being the main run-up to the local elections, which were held on 2nd May, campaigns urging voters throughout England and Wales to participate were in full swing. Across the pond in the US, the remarkable sight of a total solar eclipse captured international attention, adding a celestial highlight to the month.
Back at PLMR, the team had an equally productive month, hosting an event with John Stevens, Political Editor at the Daily Mirror, achieving mentions for client the National Office of Animal Health in both houses of Parliament during two highly pertinent debates and publishing several insightful blog posts on protecting reputations in a deepfake era, research into handing Metro Mayors more control over local planning and persistent funding problems in the education sector.
We also had a great month for public relations and achieved a fantastic selection of coverage across national, trade and regional outlets for our clients. Take a look below at our media highlights for April 2024!
