What's Floating Around Cloud 9? 26th March


Welcome to another week at Cloud 9 and we start with a cringe!


PR Moment published a great article last week on some of the most embarrassing pitch moments and as much as we like the list, some of the comments subsequently posted are equally as cringe worthy!


Moving on, our friends at PR Moment are also behind The Golden Hedgehogs, an awards programme to recognise spiky communications campaigns. We are no strangers to running PR Awards as we organise the Fresh PR Awards but we welcome the competition and are always interested in other awards. 

We like to see what they do differently and how they approach the whole event - we might steal the odd idea but hey, that's what keeps us Fresh! Irrespective, we wish every success to the Golden Hedgehogs and those organisations shortlisted for the awards, many of them whom enjoyed success at Fresh PR 2012!

Momentum is picking up for the CIPR Northern Conference 2012 and we have all of the workshops confirmed with Andy Green on Creativity, Paul Mallet from the Brass Agency on Digital and Professor Anne Gregory on Leaders of the Future.

Delegates will be able to choose to attend two out of three workshops in the afternoon, whilst the morning sessions will be dedicated to our keynote speakers and three different panel sessions, one on Social Media, one on Video Broadcasting and one on Journalism. Each panelist will offer their own unique insight towards the topic and then invite Q & A from the delegates so there will be much to learn.

Don't forget to check out the details for tickets via Eventbrite where there is an early bird discount available for everyone who books before 20th April.  You can also get a wider picture on the schedule for the day and just what incredible value the event will be this year.



  It's RSViP week on Thursday with a regular monthly social and this time we are off to the Beauty Temple for drinkies and canapes with the elite from Nottingham and its various business professionals.

 

RSViP is proving to be a useful resource for Cloud 9 and the monthly social networking events a great excuse to meet new contacts. We have always been a little reticent at Cloud 9 to over extend our reach as we don't have the time or resources to indulge in too many new business relationships - we have always wanted to be small and perfectly formed - but we do like the relaxed atmosphere of RSviP and  recommend it to anyone in Nottingham looking to up their contacts directory and make it just that little bit more special http://www.rsvipcard.co.uk/


We are doing some Fresh stuff this week too and spending all day on Friday at the Midland Hotel in Manchester filming as part of the Creative treatment for Fresh 2012. 

 We may have mentioned before that its all about Making Mums Proud in 2012 and McCann's in Birmingham have created a lovely concept for the awards this year.

Fresh 2012 doesn't launch until late April so we wont spoil the surprise and give away too many details but lets just say, its a good job we have so many sporting CD's and their Mums who are happy to support Fresh!


We end the week with a little farewell to Kelly who has been with us for a couple of years and has been an important part of both Fresh and Cloud 9, off to pastures new, we wish Kelly all the best for the future!

Have a great week!
