Who’s advising Lewis?

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

Formula One star Lewis Hamilton is to move to Switzerland to excape the ‘excessive public and media attention’ he has been getting.

Whoever is advising Lewis should point out that the time to worry is when he isn’t getting any public and media attention. The attention is what goes with the territory of success and high earnings. If he feels that he can’t go out with his mates nowdays, just how is he going to achieve that in Switzerland, which is quite a way from his home town of Stevenage. Or perhaps his new mates all live as tax exiles now.

If he is moving in order to pay less tax, then he should say so. But don’t, Lewis, try to blame the people who are, ultimately, the ones who pay those wages that you want to keep more of.

The Dogs’ dogs

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

As you will see elsewhere on this site we do have dogs, and they take up a fair amount of our spare time. John has two of the dogs – Mario and Luigi – which are a mix of Deerhound, Greyhound, Standard Poodle and Spinone. Chris has one dog – Maisie – a Labradoodle.
We are based on Dartmoor so the dogs get plenty of exercise. They love visitors and act as the PR Dogs Greetings Department when clients visit us.

Public relations students

One position we are proud to hold is that of chair of the Public Relations Advisory Committee for the BA (Hons) PR course at University College Plymouth, St Mark and St John, which was one of the first places in the country to offer PR degrees.
We would be interested to hear from other PR professionals, from businesses and from students and potential students, how they rate PR degreees and what they look for when making their choices.
