Having a Voice

We're all guilty of it, not making a song and dance about our own success stories and taking the time to grow our presence in the industry.

I'm not talking about just another case study on your website. Whilst that's important, what's more impactful is having a voice.

A 2020 Edelman-LinkedIn B2B Thought Leadership Impact Study revealed that nearly 50% of decision makers spend at least an hour a week consuming thought leadership, with 89% of decision makers claiming that thought leadership is a fundamental tool to enhance perception of an organisation.

I'm talking op-eds, comment, blogs, columns - all of the above. It's even important to consider topical and current broadcast outlets, including radio programmes.

We recognise the benefits of thought leadership, so wanted to share a few recent op-eds for one of our clients, thinkBeyond. Enjoy!

The impact of inactivity

by Nicholas Rewcastle • 13 November 2025

Inactivity is quietly draining our economy, health system and communities. Sport England’s latest research is a wake-up call: equal access to sport and exercise could unlock £20 billion in savings and productivity gains for the UK. That’s not just a health issue, it’s an economic imperative. The data is compelling: For every £1 invested in grassroots sport, £4.38 is returned in savings and benefits. Grassroots sport contributes £36 billion annually to the economy and generates £14 billion in tax revenue. Yet inequalities persist. Those with disabilities, lower incomes, and black communities remain the least active. At New Reach, we believe the solution is clear: movement. Sport isn’t just about participation; it’s about inclusion, opportunity, and impact. Every mile run, every game played, every community initiative matters, not just for health, but for economic resilience and social cohesion. As the government prepares its Budget, the questions are: How do we make sport accessible for everyone? How do we turn participation into a national priority? Because the cost of doing nothing is too high. At New Reach, we help brands, rights holders, and organisations turn this challenge into opportunity. Through strategic PR, creative campaigns, and partnerships, we amplify the benefits of sport - driving participation, tackling inequalities, and delivering measurable impact for communities and the economy.
