Rose Media has done it again, our client Woburn Safari Park’s giraffe surgery news has hit global headlines with an extraordinary story! Sahara, a rare Nubian giraffe, underwent a highly unusual and complex surgery to fix a locked kneecap, a procedure adapted from equine medicine and carried out by a specialist team. Coverage achieved across BBC, ITV, Yahoo, Evening Standard, AOL, MSN, plus major outlets in Canada, Australia and the Middle East. Sahara is recovering well. Wonderful story for us to work on!

A brilliant day for Rose Media at Mechanex Sandown 2025 on 12th November, where our Roses represented our client, Supertracker. We had our automotive PR hats on and connected with key players across the UK automotive aftermarket. From parts distributors, workshop equipment specialists, diagnostic brands, and garage professionals. We’ve loved meeting new people and catching up with Kieran Nee, Editor at PMM.

We’ve loved working with our client Sussex Facilities Management Ltd and their partner UKHarvest on this community project as it’s making a difference to the people who need it most – turning surplus food into hot meals, dignity and real support. Ten air fryers donated for a truly worthwhile and wonderful cause and we’re so proud to be involved.

Our client, Stephen Johnson, MD of Quooker UK, walked 2,000km in August and totally smashed his £100K target with a whopping £107,315 raised in total! 31 days. 5 countries. 2,000km. 2.6 million steps. Wow. We’re all in awe of you, Stephen, and the money raised for the two charities; Grief Encounter and Friendship Circle is life changing. Seriously proud. xx

Ree and Olivia helped to deliver a purr-fect VIP press event last Friday. From briefing journalists to wrangling last-minute logistics, they kept things sleek, calm and wild-cat cool at our client’s very special tiger art press unveiling. Amid tiger talks and media buzz, they ensured artist Leah Wood’s powerful portrait unveiling made national noise. Their energy and eye for detail made the whole experience seamless – even under safari sun! Two Rosettes, one unforgettable event – stripes saved, coverage secured. Go Roses!

Ring that bell! We’ve welcomed a new work placement student! Say hi to Olivia who is currently studying a Marketing Degree at the Fashion Retail Academy in London. Olivia has joined us for a month and has already thrown herself into learning the PR ropes. In just a short time, she has brought great energy, enthusiasm and fresh ideas to the team and we’re loving her Gen Z perspective! Can’t wait see how she blossoms during her time with us.

Last week, we opened our doors to three Year 10 students from The Burgess Hill Academy, and we delivered a work experience week they (and us!) will never forget! We organised behind the scenes visits to BBC Radio Sussex, Porsche Mid Sussex, CAE and Newman Thomson in Burgess Hill. Lizzy’s Cakes also dropped by our office with goodies! Yum. Thanks to all our business friends who helped to give the students a unique, fun and real-world insight into our PR world.
