“Pay attention to statistics that will make your pitch more compelling. If you can provide a figure that indicates a new trend or changing zeitgeist, it can make your ‘story’ irresistible.”
For our latest Trailblazer and Leaders feature, we spoke with Juanne Fuller, Principal at JujuPR, and she gave us a few gems.

An evening we won’t forget ❤️
Thank you to everyone who joined us at The Hoxton, Shepherd’s Bush for An Evening With @symeonbrown in partnership with @the.independent
Nuanced conversations, thoughtful discussion and a room full of brilliant people.
The question we left with: It’s less about whether we subscribe to being middle class or not. The bigger question is what power do we have and how do we use it to support our communities, charities and institutions.
Thank you Symeon, The Independent and our founder @kamiqualake for hosting.
More dates coming soon 👀

Happy Black History Month!! 🫶🏾
This year’s theme is “Honouring Our Communities”. As such, at UK Black Comms Network, we are highlighting some of our members’ favourite communities. The spaces that make them feel safe, welcome, and celebrated.
We start with Black Introvert Week UK, an initiative led by BCN member Richard Etienne.
Black Introvert Week UK helps organisations and educational institutions better understand the individuality and intersectionality of their Black employees and students through panel discussions, thought leadership and social campaigns.
If you or someone you know would like to check it out, this is your moment, as it is back on 26-30 October 2026!

The UK Black Comms Network and The Independent present: ✨An Evening With Symeon Brown ✨
Join us for a fireside conversation on the 28th October with Ch4 News Journalist and Author of ‘The Good, The Black, and The Boujee’, Symeon Brown
Symeon will join an audience of communicators, creatives and industry leaders for an honest conversation about ambition, class and what “Black excellence” really costs. The book is the product of years of research and draws on the largest known data study of Britain’s Black middle class and elite.
Hosted by Kamiqua Lake we’ll discuss the questions the book raises: how Black Britons have risen to the top of some of the country’s most visible industries, why so many still say racism is getting harder to navigate, and what a growing Black middle class means for everyone else.
🗓️ 28th October
🕢 7.00pm - 10.00pm
📍 The Hoxton Shepherd’s Bush
🎟️ Tickets available via Eventbrite ( everybody welcome, free for BCN members)
