The 2023 Elevate cohort.

Applications have just opened to join the Elevate programme which will be providing pro bono communications and business development support to a cohort of small firms with ethnically diverse leaders, within the built environment.

ING Media, a communications consultancy specialising in the built environment, founded Elevate in 2023 to promote better representation in the sector. The programme is open to companies with under 15 employees that are run by at least one person from a diverse ethnic background.

The programme includes a half-day workshop session with ING consultants and bespoke seminars and events, all dedicated to ‘elevating’ the businesses. The cohort will become part of a dedicated network, and join ING’s wider network of clients and opinion leaders across the built environment.

Giacomo Castili and Palak Jhunjhunwala, co-founders of Beyonddesign.

See what Beyonddesign, one of last year’s participants had to say about the programme:

“We have flourished from having ING Media in our corner over the last year and cherish the relationships developed with all those who have guided us during and since taking part in Elevate.

“As a PR and communications powerhouse, we appreciate ING’s drive to support emerging businesses led by ethnically diverse leaders, promoting equality and ensuring representation within the industry.”
