Bibliophile studying Public Relations
I attended the Newark Book Festival last year with Siren FM, and I never imagined that the events would take place online this year! Even so, I have loved attending two events virtually today and I have so many thoughts. I never need an excuse to discuss books or listen to people talking about books!…
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…
I've written on here in the past about companies who use a green facade to try and persuade prospective customers that they are doing everything they can for the planet, creating a PR front to make themselves look good - but it works on a personal level too. Performative activism is when a person refers…
Last Wednesday I went on a public relations university trip to London, we went to visit Splendid Communications and then visited the museum of brands. Ultimately I learnt a lot from the day, and it opened my eyes about the possibility of working in an agency. This was the first time I had visited an…

A whole week off from University, comes with a whole lot of other problems. It's so easy to see it as a break and fall into the temptation of doing nothing but get up late and watch netflix. That's not to say that you can't do that, but it's such a great opportunity to catch…

It is even more worrying knowing that I want to go into a profession like PR, where the expectation is that you are always “switched on” and it…
I can't recall how many times I've been asked "what is public relations", or asked to describe my degree or what that means I'll be doing after I graduate. For me it's pretty simple what it means and where I'll be heading in the future, but perhaps only because my Mum works in PR and…
