The 4 New Faces of PR

In September last year I drew up the above framework in a series of 3 blog posts looking at the coming extensions in PR that are coming and will come over the next year. You can catch up on the posts if you want to quickly: The New PR, PR, Static Wine, and Dynamic Wineskins, [...]

4 Flaws To Learn From Eurostar

4 Flaws To Learn From Eurostar

So there’s lots of buzz right now about Eurostar’s mass travel delays following a train failure mid-Channel Tunnel, and the subsequent issues surrounding the handling of their Social Media presence by self-called ‘Conversation Agency’ We Are Social.

“I want things to change, but I don’t have the money and time to pay for it. What do I do?” Recently I’ve been hearing this over and over. So today, without a buzz-worthy title, and without any chatty meandering, I’m going to get down to some straight talk on firstly what is wrong with [...]

PR, Static Wine and Dynamic Wineskins

So The Good Book says you don’t put old wine in new wineskins. You put in the old wine in the old wine skin, and the new wine in the new wine skin, and then that way, both old and new are preserved. Yesterday I started a little fire, on the subject of New PR. [...]

The New PR

In case you didn’t know, PR is changing. Companies are no longer able to procure their voice through paying an agency to write distant, removed press releases and expect them to connect and engage with their customers. Why? Because the press doesn’t form opinion anymore. Because customers have taken matters into their own hands, and [...]
