Just a quick post this week to highlight something that Burger King put on to their social media accounts last week.

My final year
All summer I've been waiting to get back to Uni, this year is my final year and I can't believe it's come round this quickly, but I also can't believe how different this year is going to be from the others. Like everyone else going back to University, my teaching has been blended so that…
Battersea Dogs & Cats Campaign
I wanted to write about this campaign because I thought it was such an ingenious idea and it's one of my favourite recent ones! The campaign started off by recognizing the issue that needed to be fixed - the fact that people were overloooking the need to rehome dogs and cats because they were too…
Performative Activism is Real

I put off going into the world of studying PR because I though it was an extrovert's job and I identify more as an introvert. I remember my mum telling me one day that I would have to be more confident to go into that line of work, and while she was right in some…
The semiotics of learning about Public Relations early
I had a complete flashback to my Media A Level yesterday when I had a lecture on textual analysis. I don't think I've ever been so happy to see Roland Barthes be mentioned and immediately think about my old media teacher, who first introduced me to the world of media. I never thought about how…

Single or Self-Partnered?
Earlier this week in a interview Emma Watson spoke about her true feelings around turning 30 and still being single, she opened up about how it took a long time to understand and be truly happy on her own, but that she refers to it as being "self-partnered". You could almost hear the backlash before…
