Celebrating success

It’s been a busy month since mid-June and I haven’t had as much time to write this blog as I usually would – two weeks ago I started working for my first regular client on a 12-month maternity cover contract. It’s an exciting and lovely project – we’re currently developing marketing assets for Inside Out Dorset Festival which takes place at various locations in the county from 17-26 September. And It’s all free, so if you’re in the area do come along. Visit activateperformingarts.org.uk or insideoutdorset.co.uk for more information.

(The image above is Luke Jerram’s GAIA which will be displayed at Moors Valley Country Park from 17-19 September and again at Symondsbury Estate from 24-26 September.)

I still have capacity for a couple of additional regular clients. So, whether you have a one-off story or a more sustained approach to PR, do get in touch. You can book a 30-minute meeting with my via my Calendly link.

Of interest in the past month and in relative haste…

TV producers can’t get sufficient crew, equipment, and so on and need accountants. This story was interesting.

I thought this was a lovely story about a rare orchid being found on the roof of a London investment bank building, but then The Guardian (which I do love) goes and ruins it all with a quote about the perils of climate change.

From my great friend Juliet, a clothing company called Wool & created a 100 Day Dress Challenge on Facebook and it’s sent orders through the roof. How empowering for women; it’s a great PR and social story.

This is worrying for the TV and film industry although I note that a source says it was when not if this would happen.

If you can see it you can be it – words that resonated when I read this; C4 is meant to champion diversity and under-represented groups and now needs to fight off the threat of privatisation from the government

Zoe Ball is doing the decent thing but as a result leaves a man, Gary Linekar, as the highest paid presenter on the BBC.

I found this story fascinating – an example of positive modelling in advertising.

That’s enough for July – see you next month and in the meantime, enjoy summer!
