We all know that David Attenborough is too precious for this world and should be protected at all costs, but how much value do we place on him as an influential individual? I, for one, cling on to every last word he says. If Attenborough says the environment is in trouble, then it's bloody well… Continue reading The Attenborough Effect – Proving The Value Of PR, One Paper Straw At A Time
As more and more businesses announce administration, there seems to be an air of failure that the high street just can't seem to shake these past few years.
