Stone Junction

We are big fans of coffee, gaining new PR knowledge and of course, a bit of alliteration ☕️

So, there’s nothing better than a ‘coffee and case studies’ session to get our morning caffeine fix while learning from successful PR campaigns.

Led by Leah, one of SJ’s account directors, the sessions allow team members of all levels to brainstorm creative ways of applying different STEM PR tactics.

Take a look at today's session, which took place at Stafford’s The Coffee Bar & Kitchen ⬇️

2024 has been all go at Stone Junction, with new faces, a new brand and new job titles!

Huge congrats to our wonderful team members who have achieved promotions in the last few months! 🥂

- Courtney and Patrick have become account directors 🎉
- Stephie has taken on the head of digital role 🎉
- Phil T and Greg are now senior account executives 🎉

Very well deserved👏

You can’t spell personality without P-R! ✍️

Building a personal PR profile for your company’s leaders and experts gives your brand a human voice to showcase your mission and values.

We can build your personal profile through:

- Thought leadership pieces 📄
- Speaker and podcast opportunities 🎙
- Follower growth 📈

With over a billion active monthly users, TikTok is the go-to channel for consumer brands📱

But many B2B companies doubt the relevance for their audience, especially in the STEM fields.

🚨TikTok’s STEM feed launch might put a stop to that 🚨

Building on the 15 million STEM videos already uploaded, the new feed aims to:

- Showcase educational videos from experts
- Bring back learning for fun
- Inspire young people into STEM careers

While the content generated may be different for B2B — a giant green bird threatening us for not learning Spanish wouldn’t work for most brands, after all — TikTok can still be a valuable marketing tool ✅
