“If I was down to my last dollar, I’d spend it on public relations” …..

In Business, Communications, Financial, PR, PRimage on January 12, 2011 at 6:45 pm

The recession has encouraged many companies to look closely at every bit of expenditure and explore ways of paring it back. But positive PR is one thing no company can do without.

To quote Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft: “If I was down to my last dollar, I’d spend it on public relations.”

‘Beating Bowel Cancer’

In Blogging, Bowel Cancer, Healthcare, Lifestyles, London Marathon, Social Issues on January 12, 2011 at 4:01 pm

As a specialist healthcare PR consultant I get involved in work for a number of health and disease awareness charities.  On a personal level, because I lost my husband to bowel cancer, one of my favourite charities which I support is ‘Beating Bowel Cancer’.  They do great work in helping to save lives from bowel cancer – and also raise awareness and provide support to patients and their families. http://www.beatingbowelcancer.org

I’ve just heard that they have a a charity place available in the London Marathon 2011.  If you’re interested in running on behalf of this cause, please telephone Becca, on: 020 8973 0018.

I love social media!

Blogging is fun! … My PRimage company website has a blog home page for my occasional work musings and comments on topical news items. Healthcare and politics are favourite blogging topics for me … plus a few personal musings.

I’m also a big fan of Twitter – and every day I try to post a couple of work and personal tweets.  I also find LinkedIn a great site for business networking – if you haven’t used it yet, you should!  I use Facebook to keep up to date with my friends and family — it’s great to chat to my friends across the pond and hear their news. I also have a business Facebook page – PRimage – Get Noticed!

Floored by ‘Flu!

In Blogging, Business, Healthcare, Humour, Lifestyles, PR, Social Issues, Social Media, Wellbeing, Working from home on January 12, 2011 at 12:45 pm

I’ve been laid low by the dreaded Swine Flu for the past 6 days … not feeling a happy PR person! Haven’t felt this poorly for a very long time – but today I am managing to get out my lappy and do some work … from bed! The joys of being your own boss means that deadlines have to be met – but it least you can work from home in your PJs :))

Love this cartoon!
