Did the UK’s largest pub chain just delete its social media accounts? Yes, actually. J D Wetherspoon has culled its Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts because it felt it was a non-worthwhile distraction from serving pints that wasn’t serving any purpose. Instead, loyal customers will now need to visit the website or pick up a […]
Finally a calendar date that truly speaks to me: Year of the Dog, baby! I haven’t given my friends such a good laugh since the time I told them that my ‘plan B’ is to become a professional dog walker, groomer and hospitality entrepreneur (in that order) because it’d do wonders for my positive wellbeing. […]
It’s Time To Talk Day, a movement that shines a spotlight on the benefits of talking openly about mental health – and it’s never been more relevant. It arrives just days after The Prince’s Trust launched its annual Youth Index report that revealed that young people’s happiness and confidence are at their lowest levels since the series […]
If you weren’t impressed by Airbnb’s 2017 Super Bowl advertising spot, which demonstrated clear solidarity (and if not, why not?), then you should be ‘bowled over’ by its quick reactive PR and marketing stunt to further promote worldwide acceptance off the back of Trump’s recent distasteful and disgusting remarks about some American, Caribbean and African […]
Hey, how are you doing? Done much over the past five months? I’m afraid I wouldn’t know because, unfortunately, I’ve been hiding under my digital marketing desk (pretending to have it all together during the 9-5) and, as a result, I’ve not had / made time for my WordPress whirlpool of escapism – and, for […]
Occasionally you can count on a mouse to the right thing. And, America’s Chuck E. Cheese‘s restaurant chain dedicating the first Sunday of the month to sensory play, for children with autism, is both morally and reputationally good. Launching in time for World Autism Awareness Day last month, the organisation took a customer’s request to […]
It’s not often that this momentous event occurs in our lifetime. No, I’m not talking about eclipses, royal weddings or black Presidents. I’m talking about a new shade of blue. A few years ago US scientists (accidentally) created a new shade of blue – currently called YInMn – by blending chemicals. And, Crayola has jumped […]
News just in: Krispy Kreme duped Prime Time a day early by confirming its name change was a PR stunt for April Fool’s Day. But, either way, this post is still worth a read… obvs. I’ve been in a relationship for a long time now, but yesterday I was knocked for six by my sweet […]
Bloggers have taken the world by storm in the last few years. [Insert personal praise for Prime Time here]. Why? Because, the content they post is C.A.T: credible, authentic and trustworthy. The social influencers that have risen up out of the ranks – having turned their hobbies into businesses – may be slightly compromised thanks […]
As I type this blog, thousands of people are probably Googling PwC, but not for accountancy advice. The professional services giant is more likely to be researched for the award-winning role it played in the Oscars 2017 ‘Best Picture’ blunder. Genuine mistake or risky PR stunt? Either way, it took the 88th Academy Awards ceremony from […]
