I wouldn't say I'm the best Marketing comms/PR consultant in the World - but I'm definitely in the top one!

Alvin Tofler once said: "If you don't have a strategy, you're part of someone else's strategy". Who wants that? That's why it's vital to have a strategic mindset. Our sold out @prca-hq.bsky.social webinar today shows you how to develop the most crucial skills you need in business #PR #PRStrategy

Account Management is a tough role for any PR professional. Managing up, down, sideways; being commercial, a leader, a strategist etc can cause self doubt & imposter syndrome. Our sold out PRCA Training today shows you how to be a success! visit @prca-hq.bsky.social website for new dates

Really looking forward to reviewing the very best enrichment sessions, entertainment, accommodation, sustainability initiatives, cuisine offers, and advertising & marketing campaigns the cruise sector has to offer!

Ah! Look at my little baby, @DigitalDrums (18 years old this week) she's all grown up. Look at her sharing the stage last week beside big brands like ITV, Saga Magazine, ClassicFM , Jules Verne and others as a major sponsor of the Silver Marketing Conference & Awards! #PRTraining #TravelMarketing

Has tipping got out of hand in #Cruise? Is it a reward for service, over & above our expectations, or subsidising low wages paid by cruise lines? Is it right to pay gratuities before the cruise & still be hassled for tips at the end of it by the brand? My @travelweeklyuk.bsky.social column #Travel

Really enjoyed moderating last night's Business Travel Network dinner at the Royal Lancaster Hotel. Leading players from the travel buyer, travel management companies and suppliers debated the silent crisis in the industry - recruitment of Gen Z and, to come, Generation Alpha. #TravelIndustry

It's the Silver Marketing Association conference and Awards this week, and I'm delighted that DigitalDrums is a sponsor. Good luck to all those shortlisted for best #PR campaign

It's not the most exciting subject in the world, I'll grant you, bit it is one of the most vital topics for a PR professional, proven by the record number of attendees for our sold out webinar today. Visit the PRCA website for more dates coming on line soon #PRCA #PR #PRandComms #PRAgency

A question I get asked a lot by business leaders is this: "Does social media work in the B2B field?" The answer is Yes, social media is effective for both B2B marketing and PR. Our sold out PRCA Training Webinar today shows you just how to make it work for you. #PR #B2B #NeverStopLearning

All my life, I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic somewhere behind the morning. Really looking forward to leading today's sold out PRCA Training workshop on Account Directorship. #PR #PRskills #PRAgency#PRCA

I can’t be the only person in the country who finds this hysteria that the media have about a hot day a bit tiresome! #heatwaveuk

It's the toughest job in PR, one that usually gets pushed down the ranks. Today's "Pitching to the media" workshop shows you how to get your hit rate up, how to deal with rejection & how to learn to love this task more than many others. Come join us on a future course! Visit #PR #PRAgency #Media

I've always believed that it is important to showcase and encourage great work, and give back to an industry that has given us so much over the years. So I'm delighted that Digital Drums Ltd is to sponsor the #SilverMarketingAwards #TravelPR #TravelMarketing

For most PR agencies, lead generation can be tricky. It's not a natural trait for many #PR people. But it doesn't have to be that way. Our workshop today for the PRCA shows how to solve all that & generate more new business leads. #PRAgency #NewBusiness #NeverstopLearning

"In Account Management, no one should hear you scream". If our workshop "The Art of Account Management" were a movie that would be its strap line. Today's workshop is sold out but we're putting more dates online - keep an eye out for them. #PR #PRAgency #AccountManagement

When hackers strike against your brand - and they will - it won't just be an IT problem, it will be a PR problem too. The smart brands know this and have prepared for it - have you? My @travelweeklyuk.bsky.social column is out today #TravelPR #TravelMarketing #CorporateTravel #TravelandLeisure

I spent a somber & thought provoking few hours at Belson Concentration Camp today. I heard lots of horrid stories and was left with one overall thought - Bad things happen in this world because good people look the other way

Absolutely fabulous Beef Wellington in Queens Grill last night. The proof is in the eating as they say! @cunardline.bsky.social #QM2

Looking forward to this. Never been on her before and she definitely has a different feel to her than other cruise ships, but then she’s an Ocean Liner! @cunardline.bsky.social #QM2

AI is all the rage in the travel industry right now, and rightly so. But be careful it doesn't make you lazy or sloppy, as that will impact reputation, image and even sales. Artificial Intelligence is indeed artificial, but it's not always used intelligently, my Travel Weekly UK column is out now.

Of all the moves you make in your #PR career, the step up to Account Manager is the biggest of all. Suddenly, you have to be commercial, know how to manage client (and bosses) expectations, be assertive, diplomatic & a great leader. We're in London today for our sold out Account Management workshop
