We’re excited to launch Highlighting Our Leaders, a new ACE–PCF partnership with BlackRook Media that will showcase the vital work of public bodies through a series of digital documentaries. Drawing on insights from Public Leadership: Navigating Uncharted Waters, the series will give our members a platform to tell their story, highlighting purpose, impact, innovation, and the collaborations shaping the future of the public sector. This is a unique opportunity to raise awareness of the extraordinary contribution public bodies make across the UK. 

Filming summer 2026, each episode will be professionally produced, shared across ACE‑PCF channels, and supported by a grassroots promotional campaign. Participating organisations will receive a suite of high‑quality video assets, including a five‑minute film, trailer, and social edits, backed by vetted sponsors who champion authentic, impactful storytelling. This series aims not only to inspire the public, policymakers, and partners, but to celebrate the leadership at the heart of effective public service.

 The series will highlight the work public bodies do, and is also open to trusted private sector firms which demonstrate a strong commitment to delivering high-quality public services in partnership with public bodies. 

Adrian Smith OBE, Chair of the Association of Chief Executives (ACE):

“We are pleased to partner with BlackRook Media on this project. Knowing how complex the public body landscape can appear we welcome the professional support and capability that this production partnership can bring to realising a digital documentary series with members that will inform and inspire viewers about the valuable work and impact that you and your public bodies deliver for the public good. We look forward to developing the series in partnership with you.”
