Natalie Birrell has been appointed as our Managing Director at Empica. Natalie has been working with Empica since 2019 as Client Services Director and brings more than 25 years' experience in PR and marketing communications to her new role.

The recent Autumn Statement presented a great opportunity to promote our clients’ knowledge and expertise.

Our client The Institute for Turnaround (IFT) produces an annual Societal Impact Report, providing an in-depth analysis of levels of distress within UK businesses.

Empica is providing support for a new world-class scientific exchange in Hong Kong that will bring together distinguished scientists with young people from across the world.

We’ve been working in conjunction with ITV West Country to launch an appeal to find the first babies conceived and born in Bristol through IVF.

A documentary produced by our in-house video team to mark 25 years of the iconic ship The Matthew has been shortlisted for a prestigious award.

I recently had the pleasure of working with empica for three weeks as part of an industrial placement unit for my course at the University of Bristol. It was an incredible experience being within a company known for its commitment to excellence and its dedication to creating a positive representation of its clients.

As well as the traditional posing outside Number 11 with a red box and the cut and thrust of the speech at the despatch box, the Chancellor’s announcements will spark a flurry of activities by PR agencies whose clients are eager to comment and capture a bit of the limelight.

It may not be trendy to say so, but radio is still a hugely powerful way to communicate and engage with certain audiences.

Our MD Martin Powell explains why.

Empica has started 2023 with a clutch of new clients, including three owner-managed and family-run businesses with ambitious growth plans.

Bristol is a dynamic city and one that is close to our hearts. Many of our team were born and raised in Bristol and feel proud that Empica has played a part in the city’s evolution and transformation over the last three decades.

Our client Evelyn Partners is a leading UK wealth management and professional services group, created following the merger of Tilney and Smith & Williamson.

Established in 1937, Cleve House is a co-educational independent school and pre-school for two to 11-year-olds, situated on Bristol’s Wells Road.

The school asked Empica to produce a video that would showcase the school, capturing the essence of its nurturing, hard-working approach.

Empica is delighted to have been shortlisted for an award at the 2022 Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) PRide Awards.
