A new website, a new start?
I’ve started working on a new personal/professional website and updating my LinkedIn again. It’s not because I’m looking for a new job, don’t get me wrong, but I think it’s time to get back to keeping my image updated.
(Although some freelance graphic design work wouldn’t hurt either)
To me it’s important to constantly reinvent myself and work on a few...

I have done so much design work in the past few weeks, created so many ads, catalogue pages, banners and other graphics (a Xmas logo too) while doing my regular marketing tasks, this holiday is going to have to be very relaxing, no computers allowed for a week.

Meet the popular kids, the jocks, the nerds, and the new kids of the public relations profession.

(end of) Hiatus
I had taken a hiatus from this blog, during the time it took me to adjust to leaving university, getting into the rhythm of my new job and moving house.
Now that all that is behind, this blog will return to its original purpose, with minor changes. I will continue to use it as a way to connect to the PR community and as a PR blog. However I will do this by not only focusing on the general topic...
