PR isn’t all Ab Fab!

August 26th, 2009

For many PR professionals having to explain what you do for a living can be somewhat of a challenge. This is usually because people mistakenly think that the Ab Fab world of Eddie and Patsy reflects the real life of a PRO.

Well we’d like to put the record straight! The reality is that someone working in PR is more likely to be the one buying, delivering and then pouring the champagne than they are drinking it!!! This is something that one of our PR team proved recently at an official launch in Nottingham for client David Wilson East Midlands. The event make the local press the very next morning, take a look here.

Well done Bethan!

Tamzin Enjoys Her Week With Us

August 14th, 2009

This week the PR department has been lucky enough to have an extra pair of hands helping out at the office. Read on to find out how Tamzin Boor has found her time on work experience…

“For the last week I have been gaining experience in Unsworth Sugden’s PR department.

The PR team is always on the go, so it was my job to help out with the day to day running of the department. From researching developments to creating media lists, I’ve tried a bit of everything, including AVEs which were a bit tricky at first but I soon got my head around them as I had plenty of practice over the week.

This experience has helped me to gain knowledge of not just what goes on in an office environment, but also how the PR department works and how the company functions as a whole.

Hopefully with this experience I will be able to move forward in my career and it will help me in the future!”

From everyone in the PR team, thanks for all your hard work Tamzin!
