The MNA’s PR agency has been featured as one of the highlights of the second annual Black Country Business Festival.

Star Public Relations staged an “escape room” challenge at the Grand Theatre, which has now been included in the round-up video of the fortnight of events showcasing the region.

Delegates taking part in the event last month found themselves under pressure.

The theatre teamed up with Star PR to stage the event, where attendees were plunged into a scenario, which saw them dealing with a crisis at a fictional company.

The session involved guests working through a communications challenge set by the MNA’s public relations agency.

Partnering with the Star PR experts, they were put on the spot to think of responses to media enquiries as a damaging story broke.

As a unique memento of the day, they received a framed front page of their story, produced in real time at the MNA head office and including a photo of the delegates taken upon arrival.

Star PR consultant Cathy Dobbs tweeted: Great to see the #escaperoom from #BCBF_19 on this video – thanks @BCCCmembers for including us. It was great working with @Char_lottery @WolvesGrand @Vickyprice2018 on this #crisiscomms event and thanks for all the work behind the scenes @ExpressandStar
