• Campaigns Go Global

  It may be cold outside but our clients are enjoying a great spring in terms of media coverage. Our campaign for the UK's leading personalised baby gift site My1stYears.com went global this week when we told the world's press how they had invited nine month old Harper Beckham to become the face of their brand.  The story gave us a logging headache when it was picked up by more than four...  View This »

  
  

• So Being Beautiful Is A Disadvantage? Not for the Mail

  

  Even woken up and cursed the world you were so beautiful? No, guess what, most people haven’t…but I imagine Samantha Brick has. You see she is riddled with a horrible affliction – that of being aesthetically pleasing, well, according to her anyway. Samantha ran a feature this week in the Daily Mail and it’s fair to say the response has been unprecedented. Why? Because she managed to annoy...  View This »

  
  

• Well Done Wills and Kate

  Admit it – we all love a bit of Wills and Kate, and today we love them even more after finding out they too are watching the pennies. The Royal couple ditched the private planes at the weekend and instead made their way back to the UK from their skiing trip in the Alps on easyJet. Yes, you have read that right, I did say easyJet! The couple spent a week skiing after Wills whisked his...  View This »

  
  

• This was the week that was

  This was the week that was… Yes, it is that time of the week again for me to give the low-down on who it has been a good (and bad) week for. It has been a good week for… George Galloway – Believe me it pains me to say this, but it has been a remarkably good week for the RESPECT politician. The good ol’ British public love throwing the political classes a curved ball in by-elections, however...  View This »

  
  

• Ron Burgundy Is Back And It's Kind Of A Big Deal

  

  Have you seen the film Anchorman? If so I imagine you laughed a lot and then spent the next few days, weeks, months (or in my case years) reciting the best lines to anyone who would listen. Well, good news – after an eight year break America’s favourite news anchor has announced he is to make another film. Another Anchorman film? I hear you cry. Yes, pinch yourself, watch the first one again...  View This »

  
  

• Chocolate is good for you - FACT!

  I have to admit, I did wonder if April Fools’ day had come early when I read this story with my breakfast KitKat (only joking) this morning. According to a new US study a little chocolate a day can help you stay slim. Seems crazy when chocolate is one of the most calorific foods around. Well read on. Apparently, people who eat chocolate regularly have less body fat than those who...  View This »

  
  

• Ashley Madison Stunt Shows Power Of Morally Bankrupt Brands

  

  Marital affairs website Ashley Madison has made the news on a number of occasions recently through their wacky, opportunistic stunts, but they have really pushed the boundaries with their latest offering. The site managed to convince the Sun that they had made a serious bid to help out cash strapped Glasgow Rangers Football Club, proposing to rename the stadium and sponsor the club’s shirts...  View This »

  
  

• David Mitchell - A traditional guy at heart

  I was very interested to read about the engagement of funny man David Mitchell to his poker- playing long-term girlfriend Victoria Coren this week. After seeing him play, so convincingly ‘down on his luck and down on his love’ Peep Show’s Mark Corrigan, it is a relief to know in this case life has definitely not imitated art. I do like a happy ending.

  What was also very interesting, was...  View This »

  
  

• Smashing budget Gromit

  

  Ah yes, another year another budget and another frantic day for PRs trying to get their clients in the media commenting on something the Chancellor said. All things considered, I think this will prove to be one of this Government’s defining budgets with a real plan for growth identified and mapped out. What’s more, the Chancellor’s ‘take from the rich and give to the poor’ mantra will sit...  View This »

  
  

• Do You Love It Or Hate It?

  Disaster has struck – no the end of the world is not nigh, a natural disaster hasn’t hit some far flung land. Oh no, this is worse, much worse. The people of New Zealand are struggling to buy Marmite! Love it or hate it, I’m firmly in the hate it camp, Marmite has hit the headlines again and this time it’s all because New Zealand is running out of the brown stuff. Apparently...  View This »
