I received a really nice bit of news today - I've been made a Fellow of the PRCA after 30 years in the industry. Now sitting at the same table as some of the industry's truly great practitioners #proud #PR

I'm leading one of our most popular training workshops today - The Art of Account Management. Stepping into the role of Account Manager is without doubt the biggest leap in your career. It can be overwhelming. Today's sold out workshop takes you through all you need to know.

Wonderful day spent with the account management team at @OXCOM_Marketing . Moving from a transactional sales role to a relationship management approach as an account manager is never an easy switch, but this super bright team have fantastic potential to be amongst the best.

Moving up to the role of Account Director in an agency like Clarion Communications, part of WPP,is a big step and very different to being a Senior Account Manager. It was great training with these super bright young PR professionals about to move to the next stage of their career

Travelling through the Deep South one year I managed to grab a picture with the great Dolly! One of my all time favourite quotes was when she was asked why she worked so hard: "It costs a lot of money to look this cheap" she replied. RIP Dolly, a class act.

Wonderful to be in one of my favourite cities, Birmingham, and with one of the top Comms agencies Leopard Co, to run their account managers through the new Account Manager Boot Camp workshop. It's always a joy to work with a talented team #AccountManager #PRAgency #PRTraining

The key to gaining media coverage is the pitch process, not AI generated news releases or an untargeted e-mail "spray and pray" approach. Our sold out "pitching into the media" workshop today shows you how to get your hit rate up significantly. #PR #PRTraining #MediaSkills #PRCA

Silence, certainly in PR and the travel sector, isn't always golden. My @travelweekly magazine column is now online. travelweekly.co.uk/in-depth/… #PR #TravelMarketing #TravelandLeisure #CorporateTravel #Marketing

Alvin Tofler once said: "If you don't have a strategy, you're part of someone else's strategy". Who wants that? That's why it's vital to have a strategic mindset. Our sold out @PRCAtraining webinar today shows you how to develop the most crucial skills you need in business #PR

One of the best bits of advice I was ever given in my career was this: “Your success in life will be determined largely by your ability to speak, your ability to write, and the quality of your ideas. In that order." For me, I always found that to be true.

Silence isn't always golden, especially in the travel sector when there is a problem. My @TravelWeekly column today. #TravelMarketing #TravelPR #PR #TravelIndustry #TravelandLeisure #CorporateTravel #BusinessTravel

It is one of the toughest jobs in PR and Marketing. Looking forward to leading today's sold out @OXCOM_Marketing workshop: "How to be a Successful Account Manager". #PR #Marketing #NeberStopLearning

I came up through the ranks of the PR industry, and I think it's important to give back to a profession that has been so good to me. Delighted to be teaching the Chartered Institute of Public Relations Professional Diploma with @OXCOM_Marketing today.

I wonder if my self awareness is at odds with the world around me. I'm in a coffee shop. On the table behind me a guy is playing a loud video on his 'phone. Meanwhile another chap has a dog off the lead that is running around the shop. Both seem oblivious to people around them.

A question I get asked a lot by business leaders is this: "Does social media work in the B2B field?" The answer is Yes, social media is effective for both B2B marketing and PR. Our sold out @PRCAtraining webinar today shows you just how to make it work for you. #PR #PRandComms

I know its tough in the heat at the moment but what I am finding even more exhausting than the heat is the non-stop, wall-to-wall media "Run for your lives, we're all going to die" style coverage of the heatwave.
