Creative showcase: Viva

By Tony Garner
Managing director, Viva

About us

Viva is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.

Thanks to a wide variety of regional and national B2B and B2C clients with strong specialisms in public sector and professional services PR – plus a team of talented wordsmiths – our public relations delivers storytelling with impact.

Our work

We’ve done a lot of work for public sector clients recently – Blackburn BID, Rossendale Borough Council, South Pennines Park and Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council.

Our work has ranged from PR and comms planning, event management, media training, media relations, social media, and planting trees – no two days are the same.

CG Professional is redefining what it means to be a law firm in the 21st century – we’ve been there over the past four years to help them break new ground as thought leaders in their sector.

Our success

We’ve invested heavily in caring for the people who work for us over the past two years.

We recognise they’re human beings, not robots. To be acknowledged on a national scale with a PRCA Workplace Champions award tells me we’re doing the best for our team.

We were also named Outstanding Small Public Relations Consultancy for the third time in five years at the CIPR PRide Awards North West 2021.
