The past 7 days haven’t been the best for international brands Pepsi or United Airlines. For Pepsi, an advert intended to promote something positive was framed entirely wrong; and for United Airlines, the video of a passenger being removed from a plane went global (and from a brand tagline is ‘Fly the Friendly Skies’). Following […]

The voice of morning news and debate, Victoria Derbyshire showed us a different side this week when she removed her wig following chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer.

Picture this: it’s the middle of winter, we’re well-set into the routine of dark mornings, dark afternoons and freezing temperatures outside.

Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, the new musical now on at the […]

We’ve recently had the pleasure of working with Sheffield Theatres, and we can’t help that think running a theatre show is just like the workings of our Sheffield-based PR agency. Bear with me….
