Finally the mid-tier IT company that you’ve been battling with all year gives you some good news - the CEO is coming to the UK in three weeks. 8220;He’s got some news, not sure what it is yet.

You can’t. His a...Two weeks to go. ...

http://theworldsleading.blogspot.com/2007/08/not-much-use-in-tech-media.html
Gossip site for people working in or around technology PR. Not much use in the tech media. I noticed 'THHB' pop up in our comments earlier. "Who's that? Ladies and gents, I give you, The Hot Hack Blog. The comment wasn't, oddly, in relation to our post. About the ZDNet team. It was on the one. Love it love it love it. Might take the edge off the hatrid for all things journalist over here at TWL. But how, I ask, when my press list is about 70% men is there so far only one man featured? Eric Pfanner. N...

Gossip site for people working in or around technology PR. If you're a tech PR and you didn't get one of these today you might as well pack up your devices and find another profession. It's a first birthday cake, courtesy of ITPro. It's a generous gift too. Given the weight of the delicious jam sponge, our scales tell us that each would have cost £1.45 to send. Picture Chris Green in the postroom last night. "One for a tech PR, one for me. One for a tech PR, one for me. One for a tech PR.". Would an expe...

http://theworldsleading.blogspot.com/2007/08/when-two-and-two-makes-3.html
Gossip site for people working in or around technology PR. When two and two makes 3. I've just seen the PRWeak story. About Guy Middleton - managing editor of Mobile magazine - being appointed as head of corporate communications at 3. As the story succinctly puts it:. He has worked in tech and business journalism for ten years, but has no PR or comms experience.". Slim, I reckon. Does that devalue the job of PR? Or should we be proud that the industry has attracted a senior journalist to its ranks?

Gossip site for people working in or around technology PR. Brace yourself Figgis…. Because this post is about Edelman. And to ensure we don’t fall foul of the self-righteous transparency brigade, let me state the bleedin’ obvious – this post is part of Edelman’s ‘editorial sponsorship’ to drive awareness of its ‘PR brain of Britain’ competition. With the caveats out of the way, here’s the update. Remember the overly-complex sliding scale of reward associated with the competition? Some of Edelman’s ...

Gossip site for people working in or around technology PR. Just stick the PowerPoint on the SatNav. Lovely idea from Nick Booth hidden in a Response Source request for ComputerWeekly.com:. Does anyone want to give me a car briefing? That's where you pick me up at 8am from my house, and give me a briefing as we drive from Kingston to Sutton. The return journey is also available. It's mobile working in its truest sense. And there may be a story in it. Terms and conditions apply.". Can we give this PR hates...

Gossip site for people working in or around technology PR. Sturgeon, fuckwit.updated. Will Sturgeon.hack turned Lewis flack.now blogging. Here. NB: the 'fuckwit' in the headline does not refer to Will, it refers to my picture editor. As in, "I said Sturgeon, fuckwit, not surgeon." Still, grabs the attention, doesn't it? That's a tad harsh TWL. He was always pretty nice to PRs in his hack days and I can't see anything very offensive on the blog? Wondering why the headline? Look at the picture. Who's havin...

Gossip site for people working in or around technology PR. A day in whose life? A while a go we published a post about a typical day in the life. Of a tech PR exec. It obviously banged the bell of truth for many people.comments flooded in, other blogs pointed to it gleefully. Hell, there was even a call. To add TWL to the reading list of PR degree courses. Well, there's another Day in the Life. In town. Compare and contrast. Dave the rave said. There is a chirpy one? Whoever could it be? Without wanting ...

Gossip site for people working in or around technology PR. Cash for questions.cash for answers. Cash for simply turning up. In China, it's normal practive for hacks to receive cash payments - known as 'transport money' - from PR companies for attending press events. I think it's a great idea. Hacks get to supplement their pitiful incomes, PRs can guarantee a nice piece of coverage. There's no downside. Don't know what you're talking about. In the PR industry? Anyone else sick of having to order water at ...
