‘PR Hall of Shame’ will create a new media landscape: are you ready?

This week, Press Gazette, a leading publication for journalist and media industry news, published the ‘PR Hall of Shame’, a live document highlighting unscrupulous brands and PR agencies that are associated with “more than 1,000 fake stories” that have been published in mainstream media.

How we got the Government to finally wake up to the Sleep Crisis

It’s rare for sleep to top anyone’s political priority list. But imagine taking an overlooked issue, dismissed by many as trivial, and not only making the Government acknowledge its seriousness but commit publicly to taking action.
