What a busy week it’s been at Jo.P. Communications, with Grace Pickering’s first week back in the office after two weeks in Morocco!
The week began with Jo Pickering FCIM continuing her judging duties for the Visit York Tourism Awards, celebrating some of the fantastic businesses and attractions across the region.
Jo also attended a York Professionals Board Meeting, catching up with fellow board members and discussing upcoming plans and events. There was also time for cake and prosecco as everyone
celebrated the birthdays of Dawn Clements and Emma Whiting.
Meanwhile, Grace enjoyed a busy week of content creation, including filming at Hotpod Yoga York, where she also had the opportunity to take part in a preview of their new Hotpod Strength class.
Jo and Grace then headed to Temple Aesthetics Yorkshire and Ebor Mortgages for content filming days, creating fresh social media content for both businesses. It was particularly exciting to see Ebor Mortgages newly branded office looking fantastic.
Jo hosted and delivered YorWealth Ltd’s Curry Club networking event. Everyone enjoyed fantastic food from The Raj. It was wonderful to catch up with so many familiar faces from York’s business community.
To round off the week, Jo and Grace headed to the Harrogate Autumn Flower Show at Newby Hall & Gardens, where they’ll be spending the next few days representing Yorkshire’s Great Houses, Castles & Gardens and promoting their 2027 Family Passes.
Bring on next week!
It’s been another busy and varied week here at Jo.P. Communications! Whilst Grace Pickering continues to sun herself in Morocco, back in Yorkshire it’s been a particularly busy week for Jo
Pickering FCIM. The week kicked off with client meetings with Temple Aesthetics Yorkshire, Yorkshire’s Great Houses, Castles & Gardens, Pineapple Financial Planning and YorWealth Ltd.
Tuesday evening brought one of the highlights of the week, as Jo attended Press Night at the Stephen Joseph Theatre for Sir Alan Ayckbourn’s 92nd production, The Trial of Romeo Oscar.
Events were also firmly on the agenda. On Wednesday morning, Jo delivered the YorWealth Business Exit Planning Breakfast at the beautiful Middlethorpe Hall & Spa, before returning to Middlethorpe on Thursday afternoon, this time for York Professionals and a sparkling afternoon tea.
From client meetings and theatre to breakfasts and afternoon tea, it’s certainly been a busy week all round. And as much as Jo loves keeping everything moving… she’ll be very glad to have Grace back on Monday!
We kicked off the week with a visit to Ebor Mortgages, where Jo Pickering FCIM and Grace Pickering spent time filming fresh social media content with the team.
The following day, we headed to a fantastic photoshoot with Maryanne Scott Personal Brand Photographer. It was a brilliant shoot and we’re absolutely delighted with the images captured.
Later in the week, we enjoyed a valuable marketing catch-up with Stephen Joseph Theatre. Having supported the theatre’s marketing activity for almost a month now, it was great to hear updates on how things are progressing, discuss current campaigns and review ticket sales performance.
Jo also hosted and delivered the York Professionals Summer Social onboard City Cruises Christopher Pegg. With 90 guests joining the event, it was another fantastic turnout and a wonderful opportunity for local professionals to connect and build relationships.
We’re also delighted to share that the brand-new York Professionals website has officially launched. This has been a fantastic collaborative project, made possible through the teamwork and dedication of Jo and the Board of Directors.
To round off the week, Jo and Grace enjoyed a well-deserved Fizz Friday, taking a moment to celebrate a productive week.
From content filming and professional photography to strategic marketing discussions, networking events and website launches, it’s been another varied and rewarding week.
Another fantastic and productive week here at Jo.P. Communications, filled with great meetings, creative collaboration and exciting plans for the months ahead!
We kicked off the week with an excellent meeting between Jo Pickering FCIM and the team at Techscend. It was fantastic to catch up with Rebecca Newman and Thomas Siron, discuss their latest
developments and have the opportunity to see their new office space.
Meanwhile, Grace Pickering spent the morning with the team at PRO-DEVELOPMENT (UK) LIMITED for their monthly marketing meeting. It’s always great to review progress, discuss new ideas and plan upcoming activity. The meeting was followed by a content creation session, where Grace captured fresh social media content and encouraged the team to get involved on camera, resulting in some engaging and authentic content that we’re looking forward to sharing.
Jo attended the York Professionals Board Summer Social, enjoying the opportunity to catch up with fellow board members in a relaxed setting and strengthen valuable business connections.
Later in the week, Grace and Jo met with Maryanne Scott Personal Brand Photographer to discuss an exciting upcoming photoshoot. There are some brilliant ideas in the pipeline, watch this space!
The duo also spent time collaborating on the content and structure for a new website project, reviewing ideas and planning the next stages. We’re looking forward to meeting with Alex Ketnor next week to explore next steps.
We’re incredibly grateful to work with such fantastic businesses and can’t wait to see what next week brings!
This week has been a fantastic second week working together for Jo and Grace and it’s been a busy one!
Grace Pickering kicked the week off by filming content at PRO-DEVELOPMENT (UK) LIMITED. It was so lovely to see the team again! We are so happy to continue working with such an amazing company and group of people.
Jo Pickering FCIM spent time with one of her long-term clients, North Of England Bonsai, learning how to shape and style bonsai trees – all in the middle of the 30-degree heat! A great reminder that no two days in marketing are ever the same.
We are also delighted to have secured a new client – Ebor Mortgages. We held a great social media planning meeting this week and can’t wait to get started managing their social media from August.
Jo rounded off the week with Alexander Stephenson, Managing Director at Pineapple Financial Planning, for their monthly events update meeting – with the added bonus of some delicious homemade pineapple cake, baked by their new team member Joe.
A brilliant week full of creativity, collaboration and exciting new opportunities – we’re looking forward to what’s next!
