Love Island, as it does every year, has me gripped by the throat. I'm ashamed to admit that I'm a big fan! But, with about 4 weeks left to go, we're already fast approaching the part I hate - the brand collaborations, the nightclub appearances, and the random partnerships that make absolutely no sense... 🤢… Continue reading Why Coupling Up With Love Islanders May Not Be The W You Think

It's the eve of the Jubilee and I'm about to close my laptop for the long weekend (thanks Her Maj!), however, I couldn't finish up without a little 'platinum special' Creative Campaigns round up, seeing as there have just been so many brilliant efforts that have caught my eye! From patriotic packaging to seasonal stunts,… Continue reading A Royal Affair Of PR Campaigns 🇬🇧👑

This article first appeared on PRWeek News, where I was so grateful to contribute! It’s the trial of the century and one we can’t avoid, not even for want of trying.

Do you ever feel as though you can't let something go until you've gotten everything off your chest? That's how I feel about a certain debacle that unfolded a week or so ago whilst I was on holiday. I'm not here to name names, but there was an accusation made via a now-infamous Glassdoor review… Continue reading My Two Cents On ‘That’ Mental Health Conversation

I have been babbling about pitching for talks and accepting podcast invitations recently, and that's for a good reason. For a long time now, I've spoken about my poor experiences within the digital PR industry, and the messages in my DMs tell me that sadly, I'm not the only one to have felt the way… Continue reading My Top 10 PR Red Flags To Pay Attention To 🚩

You might be surprised to discover that I went to BrightonSEO recently. You might also recognise that to be sarcastic as it was pretty much all I spoke about for at least a week straight. Here I am, over two weeks on, still talking about it. What can I say? I've somewhat famously made the… Continue reading What BrightonSEO Taught Me About MYSELF

Look, I'm going to say what I think a few of us are probably thinking: why do we keep having to deal with so many bloody social media updates?
