By Kelly Spencer Despite a self-confessed inability to cook anything that doesn’t involve the toaster or the microwave, I decided that, in aid of a wonderful cause, I would pull on my pinny (which I admit I had borrow from my culinary whizz of a boyfriend) and enter the kitchen for the MK PR Helen’s […]

The world is your Oyster when you network
One of the biggest opportunities in PR is networking. Now, networking isn’t just a case of going into the local boozer and striking up a conversation with someone you vaguely know. Networking is so much more than that. It opens doors for you and it makes you knowledgeable about your city and the people within […]
Picture Perfect
They say that ‘a picture tells a thousand words’. As someone who works in PR, I spend the majority of my day crafting and toiling with the English language but my job has also taught me how much truth there is in that age-old phrase. In fact, the more press releases and features I compile […]
Anna’s ‘Deliberating’ Lemon Drizzle
When we were first told that MK were holding a Bake-Off I experienced a minor panic.

By Ashlea Mcconnell, PR Director At one of the more interesting networking events I attended recently I embarked on a conversation with a fellow service provider as to what animal best sums up my industry. After a good half minute trying to come up with something exotic and quirky, I settled on a dog. Yes, […]
A well-oiled machine…
By Sarah Dutton It’s 8am on a Monday morning, and I’m looking around the MK office at exposed bricks and bright yellow paint: it screams creative agency, but without being cliched or contrived. This building used to be home to the no-doubt hardworking Alfred Beckett and Sons Steel, Saw and File Works and now it’s […]
“So what are you going to do with that?”
By Chrissie Lewis, Junior Account Executive It’s a question every graduate in Literature, philosophy or history dreads, “So what are you going to do with that?”. This question has plagued me as a literature student for the past three years, and as a recent graduate, now working as a Junior Account executive at MK, I […]
