Getting people to talk about is one of the greatest forms of marketing, and I can think of no better recent example of this than Weetabix. Who, yesterday, broke the internet, for declaring beans aren't *just* for toast. Never… Continue reading 2021’s Creative Campaigns #2 – Some Beans With Your Weetabix?
I'm kicking off my creative campaigns series with a good one. We're only 26 days in to 2021, but I've already seem some fantastic PR efforts already (that's the spirit I know and love guys). The one that caught my eye the most this month, though, was the incredible work from Rethink Canada with Heinz.… Continue reading 2021’s Creative Campaigns #1 – It Has To Be Heinz
This blog title has been in my drafts for just short of a year, last week I finally decided to write the content. It stayed in my drafts for another week before I'm finally picking up the courage to press send this lunchtime. I decided I couldn't leave this unsaid any longer. What Is 'PR… Continue reading What’s The Problem With PR Bashing?
Influencers can be problematic at the best of times, but the pandemic has really unearthed a lot of issues.

Like a domino… Continue reading Can Creative CVs Do More Harm Than Good?
2020 was one heck of a year, but it didn't dwindle the spirits of creatives across the world. Despite some very turbulent times, there was still a plethora of commendable PR campaigns to come out of last year, and I tried my hardest to record my favourites. Unfortunately, my 'creative campaign' roundups only reached 17… Continue reading Best PR Campaigns From 2020
I'm as much of a fan of Cadbury's as any person, but for me, there's one PR campaign they continue to run every year that irks me. I have written about the infamous Creme Egg hunt before, in one of its first years of action, because it was quickly met with controversy after avid enthusiasts… Continue reading Dear Cadbury’s, Please Read The Room
Ever year, the beginning of Christmas is marked by the release of the John Lewis (and Partners) advert, which this year premiered on social media on Friday 13th November 2020. Surely one of the most challenging and bizarre years since the company started trading, many people had eyes on the brand to see how they'd… Continue reading My Thoughts On Christmas Advertising This Year
Much like the Greggs sausage roll, the Nando's peri peri chicken and the McDonalds Big Mac, the Tesco meal deal is iconic. Therefore, a chance to win one will never fall on deaf ears. Tesco could have done a classic 'like, share and follow' for their recent social media competition, it would have worked. But… Continue reading 2020’s Creative Campaigns #17 – Free Meal Deals Up For Grabs
Already a cut above others with their sustainable carrier bag options, where most high street retailers still only offer a plastic option for 5-10p a pop, Primark has been using its classic brown paper bag since 2002.
