Lessons in Mediaeval Stakeholder Communications

May 1215

The communications consultants tell me that the issues with my leadership style are reaching crisis point. ‘Overly autocratic’ is the expression they keep using. They’re concerned about my ‘credibility with some of our key stakeholders’; apparently they’re looking for more transparency on the financials, they’re not entirely bought into the strategic direction, and they’re moaning that I’m making arbitrary decisions.

Forget print vs digital – I want engagement!

I don’t understand the time-worn squabbles between advocates of digital communication and champions of print – especially when each side can be overly defensive about its preferred medium.

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. Joffrey could have really done with a few in-depth interviews in relevant publications, such as PrinceWeek, or The Winterfell Daily.

Why use a blog in B2B marketing communications?

Author: Patrick Anderson

Once the internet plaything of angst-ridden teens with a prehistoric grasp of web-design and basic HTML (including yours truly), many major companies and corporations now have a blog in some form or other. And who can blame them?

FESPA has opened it doors!

Author: Helen Tolino

FESPA 2015’s doors opened today, an exhibition that – in the language of FESPA marketing campaign – promises to help printers and print buyers discover their ‘universe(s) of print’. Looking at the sheer diversity of brands, technologies and applications on show in Cologne, I challenge anyone not to be excited, stimulated or motivated by them.

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. While I was slightly alarmed about biting the heads of my friends, or seeing them melt away into my hot chocolate, it got me thinking about just how far the personalised printed gifts industry has grown.

What are Meerkat and Periscope?

Author: Patrick Anderson

True to its name, Meerkat – the live-streaming video app – seemed to pop up out of nowhere. But with social media apps coming and going like X Factor winners (“Hello Matt Cardle, Goodbye Matt Cardle!”), does Meerkat have the legs to go the distance?

Direct Marketing: Amazon, you’re doing it right

Author: Michael Grass

So there I was, using my time productively on a Saturday morning (watching telly) when I heard the familiar noise of my mail being aggressively shoved through the letterbox. I eventually shuffled over to the door and browsed through a host of familiar materials: postcard, bank statements, missed delivery cards… until I came across a leaflet from Amazon Prime.
