Data, you need
This is a cross-post from Ranieri Communications... Have you seen Particle Fever yet? If not, you should. There’s a seminal moment when, on achieving collision, a Cern star states triumphantly: “We have data.” It’s the point at which the theorists craned their necks eager to see what the experimentalists could actually prove. Suddenly, this wasn’t … Continue reading Data, you need
Time to saddle up again: Brandinnnnnng
Right. So, the past few years has seen a lot of water under a lot of bridges. I've been a social media consultant. I've been a copywriter. I've been a marketing manager, PR manager, social media manager and content creator all at the same time.

I get this a lot…
No valuable insights or deep analysis today. Just a cartoon that someone sent me. I can see that I'm going to use the phrase "I can't get past the ridiculousness of it all" quite often from now on...
Me, Friends Reunited, and Radio 4
So out of the blue I got a call from BBC Radio 4 to go in and talk about the recent relaunch of Friends Reunited on the You and Yours programme. "Friends Reunited has relaunched?" thought I. Fortunately I managed to pull enough from my dusty memory banks sufficiently quickly to convince the assistant producer … Continue reading Me, Friends Reunited, and Radio 4
I really am not one of the most influential PR bloggers in the UK. Honestly, I’m not.
So it was with considerable mirth that I read Gorkana's latest blockbusting news - that someone has, schlock horror, discovered who the most influential PR bloggers are in the UK! Wow! That was quick of them! The Ad Age Power150 has only been around for, what, at least five years. Apparently it's news to Gorkana … Continue reading I really am not one of the most influential PR bloggers in the UK. Honestly, I’m not.
