Rango, a Volkswagen T6 Swamper, has recently taken his owners, Dan and Lisa, on a coastal adventure to the Gower Peninsula. We’ve been working with our longstanding client, Visit Swansea Bay to curate a bespoke ‘Van Life’ itinerary for the travelling trio to explore the variety the county has to offer visitors year-round. With 11.5k followers on Instagram, Rango, Lisa, and Dan have been promoting the stunning area of Swansea, Mumbles, and Gower to their dedicated audience, illustrating that no matter the season, Gower was voted the UK’s first area of Outstanding National Beauty for a reason.
4. Reaching key audiences with Nurse Mikey
Nurse Mikey here! Influencer, A&E nurse and star of BBC Three’s Rookie Nurses, Mikey Denman is the latest influencer to work with us on Public Health Wales’ HPV vaccine campaign. With the challenge of dispelling common myths around the HPV vaccine, Mikey’s engaging Q+A style TikTok struck the right chord with a key audience for our campaign: men 45 or younger, who are gay, bisexual, or other men who have sex with men (GBMSM). Mikey’s content enabled us to reach this group, helping to improve their knowledge of the virus, the vaccine and its benefits – check out his content on TikTok and Instagram to see more.
5. Announcing the tech duo who will represent small businesses in Wales
From garden shed hobby to a large-scale 3D printing firm, Cowbridge-based Lunia 3D has worked on commissions from lifesaving military equipment for the Ministry of Defence to a full-scale car prototype for self-driving testing. And it started with a Start Up Loan from the British Business Bank. Fast forward three years, and founders Ken and Yousef have been named Start Up Loan Ambassadors for Wales, aiming to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs. Twelve Ambassadors were announced across the UK, and so far we have secured coverage in Wales in Insider Media, Business News Wales, Herald and Wales 247.
