O Communications: April 2010
http://ocommunications.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, 29 April 2010. WHO IS LOOKING AFTER THE PM AND THE OLD DEAR? What A. Disaster. Yes Gordon, it sure was. After all the statesmanlike comments in the national press, the wise words about Europe on the TV debate and the campaign trail growing in positive momentum - things were starting to look a little better for the beleaguered Labour camp. Until someone forgot to check the leader’s mike was off. First rule of PR – look after your client. Where was his PRO? You cannot parachute and old lady from ...

O Communications: Passion for your product really cuts it
http://ocommunications.blogspot.com/2010/03/passion-for-your-product-really-cuts-it.html
Wednesday, 24 March 2010. Passion for your product really cuts it. It’s always easier to sell your story if you believe so passionately about it you can get close to tears. That was the case at an Entrepreneurs’ Forum event I attended this week with internationally renowned hairdresser Trevor Sorbie. My newhair.org is a charity set up to train hairdressers how to style wigs for people suffering from medical hair loss, most especially people affected by cancer. Mynewhair.org is training hairdressers a...

O Communications: December 2009
http://ocommunications.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 22 December 2009. Gemma Clarke, Account Manager. A record 19.1 million of us tuned into the X Factor final last weekend. Simon Cowell must have been seeing pound signs in his eyes. And why was this show one of the most viewed ever? Was it purely down to Geordie Joe’s singing ability or the fact that almost half the population of teenage girls have been going ‘Radio Ga Ga’ over Olly Murs’ dance moves? An image of Joe’s face was also projected on to South Shields’ Town Hall for three h...It was ha...

O Communications: Vivienne Westwood helps us go green...
http://ocommunications.blogspot.com/2009/07/vivienne-westwood-helps-us-go-green.html
Tuesday, 14 July 2009. Vivienne Westwood helps us go green. Kari Owers, Managing Director. Last Friday we took part in Green Britain Day by having a team swap of old clothes and Rob started his weekly 25 mile round trip bike ride to work (click here to read the story). A passing PR stunt or a serious commitment to the environment? You know it started as a bit of fun, but just taking part started me thinking. In case you missed Vivienne on Wossy, read this http:/ tinyurl.com/kwa7eu. Well we are about to f...

O Communications: January 2009
http://ocommunications.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Friday, 9 January 2009. PR in a recession. Rebekah Ashby, PR Account Director. When all around are talking about credit crunches and economic downturns, history shows that dispensable functions, such as PR, can be the first to face the axe. But, as the economy slows, it’s critical that businesses ensure they have a media profile to help them trade through – and out – of recession. But PR is credible and can get companies some invaluable third party endorsement. Thus, the days of animosity between journal...

O Communications: July 2008
http://ocommunications.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, 10 July 2008. Kari Owers, Managing Director. I’ve just returned from a week’s holiday and boy was it needed – we spent the week before we left with all hands to the pumps preparing our entries for the CIPR PRide Awards, and it was a tough job deciding what to enter! When we looked back over the last year we had so many fantastic projects to pick from we really had to be strict on what we put forward. Prince’s Trust Challenge Trophy. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

O Communications: May 2009
http://ocommunications.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 26 May 2009. Gemma’s not-so glamorous world of PR. Gemma Clarke, Account Manager. FOR an industry that is all about reputation, PR has had a hard job in losing its Ab Fab Luvvies connotations, but since the industry was given its chartered status in 2005 things have been looking up. Heading up the ‘Lifestyle’ division at O Communications, I have to admit though, that the thought of promoting Miss Sunderland 2009 did, actually, thrill me! Got our glad rags on and sipped champagne whilst mingling ...

O Communications: Be a social animal

Monday, 14 December 2009. Be a social animal. Kari Owers, Managing Director. Networking may not come naturally to everyone, but in today’s world there has never been so many options open to us and it doesn’t always mean leaving the office. As part of any PR strategy we always review a client’s networking activity, on and offline, and make recommendations as to how they can raise their company profile by making clever connections. Networking isn’t all about sales either. It can help you find lik...The key...
