My Favourite Creative Campaigns Of February 2022

Despite being one of the most depressive months of the year (yes I'm starting on a bad note, but it's spring soon), the one interesting thing about February is Valentine's Day. Whilst I'm not a superfan of the holiday itself, I do always love seeing the weird and wonderful stunts that companies pull out of… Continue reading My Favourite Creative Campaigns Of February 2022

The Lowdown On Brand Collaborations

In the month that Greggs announced its largest ever café would be opening in Birmingham in no other than Primark, then brought out its very own sell-out clothing line to seal the deal, it would appear that truly anything is possible.

Rainbow-Washing, Femvertising & Everything Wrong With Woke Marketing

My Favourite Creative Campaigns Of January 2022

Cards on the table, I've been frankly rubbish at talking about the campaigns I love, which is what this blog used to be all about! 2022 is the year I eat that frog and get back into it.

Things We Can Do To Encourage Mental Health Conversations In PR

I don't know about you, but I feel like mental health in the industry gets spoken about quite often, but then as we move on, the conversations die down, and until something controversial surfaces again, that's it for a while. I myself am guilty of contributing to this, I've written a number of blogs in… Continue reading Things We Can Do To Encourage Mental Health Conversations In PR

Troubles Of A Black Coun-traay PR Girl

It's #BlackCountryDay today, and therefore I thought it an apt time to talk about my journey of accepting my background and learning to love it, as opposed to shying away from it - which I've done for many years.

7 Mistakes I Made As A Digital PR

This afternoon, I thought I'd dust the cobwebs off my keyboard and do something I haven't done in a while: sit down to write a blog.

The Trials & Tribulations Of ‘PR-Ing’ Yourself

It's said often that the PR industry has a PR problem, and I think that extends to the people who work in PR too. Only today I was talking to my colleagues about 'PR-ing' yourself. Hyping yourself up and shouting about your successes is really not easy, especially if you're naturally introverted. But I do… Continue reading The Trials & Tribulations Of ‘PR-Ing’ Yourself

From Tumbleweeds To Twitter Fame

Never has a story better demonstrated the sheer power of social media than that of Petersfield bookshop. A story I've had the pleasure of following right from the beginning, and one that I've really enjoyed watching blossom into what it is today. It started like this. From Tumbleweeds...
