PR is everywhere

Please remember: PR is not left in the office when the doors close at the end of the day. Reputation management needs to be a constant concern. I am currently sitting on the train, listening with great interest to the conversations of other passengers. It is amazing the information people are happy to loudly impart

PRing Advertisements

It has always been argued that PR and advertising are two very different things. The recent phenomenon of Christmas adverts has meant, however, that the two are becoming closer aligned.

I would like to make a small point

Little details matter. For example, AIM Altitude produced a stunning concept bar and galley for its industry’s flagship exhibition. The bar and galley configuration was designed, engineered and built, by AIM Altitude’s own team of highly skilled craftsmen and women, to be able to feature in a commercial aircraft cabin.

Getting what your PR needs, not what you ask for

Sometimes the best relationships are those that give you what you actually need not what you asked for.  Of course a relationship has to be trusted before you can ignore the words your client has spoken, and instead go with the gut instinct that tells you exactly what they need.  Reading between the lines is
