We’re up for a PRCA Platinum Award! 🏆

Shortlisted in the 'Purpose' category for our 2024 Euros Guide to VAWG campaign, we used the summer of football to sneak important messaging into the hands of those who might not usually engage.

Fingers crossed for a win! 🤞

No 'follow link' for us, but Tom linked up with a nice girl for the day.
