What I learnt at the 3D Print Show

Last week I attended the UK leg of the 3D Printshow in London. Like many other visitors I spoke to, I arrived at the Old Truman Brewery in Brick Lane with my own preconceptions and ideas of what 3D printing is and means for a wide range of industries moving forward.

PR as an art form

Flipping through last month’s issue of GQ, I came across an interesting piece on legendary PR man Alan Edwards. One of the industry’s leading figures in entertainment for over 40 years, he has represented everyone from The Rolling Stones and The Sex Pistols to David Beckham and Naomi Campbell.

There be media dragons! What characters from Game of Thrones could have really done with a PR agency?

Author: Cerys Traylor

1)      Joffrey Lannister. Let’s start with the character we all love to hate. Despised throughout his kingdom, Joffrey’s biggest PR fail was beheading the father of his betrothed, Sansa Stark, and it only went downhill from there.

It’s getting personal – the growth of personalisation

Author: Elinor Bunce

Recently I received a somewhat unconventional type of personalised gift in the form of printed marshmallows. Upon opening the present, I could see my face, and others, spread across these tasty looking sweet treats.
