What's Floating Around Cloud 9? 5th March

Week Commencing 5th March 2012....

We are in post Fresh mode at Cloud 9 Towers following the success of the Fresh PR Awards last week at the Hilton Deansgate in Manchester. The fourth annual awards saw over 200 guests celebrating creativity and innovation in communications, and there were a range of great winners in over 20 or so categories.

Collecting the Grand Prix for the best overall entry was Prova PR in the Midlands whose campaign "One Man, One Triumph Motorcycle, One PR Firm, featured comedian Ross Noble.

Other key successes on the night included the Freshest Consultancy Team Winner Man Bites Dog, the Freshest In-House Team Winner Derbyshire County Council and the Freshest Small Team, Smoking Gun PR.

The Freshest Young Professional accolade this year was shared between David Kuczora from Clive Reeves Public Relations and Jenna Vernon of deWinter PR. 

You can view all of the results online via the Fresh Website http://www.freshawards.co.uk

 Our new service Dazzling Table Displays finally has been launched in style with a new website and unbelievably cheap rates for those wishing to hire anything from huge Martini Glass Vases to Peacock Feathers.

Having run a huge variety of events for over 10 years we have collected an impressive amount of truly dazzling table decorations.

Buying decorations for an event can be an expensive business - and once you have used them, its unlikely that you will need them again. You don't want to throw them out so they will sit, boxed up and alone, taking up valuable storage space in your home, never to see the light of day again!With Dazzling Table Displays you can hire everything you need at incredibly cheap rates for as long as you want, and we even offer special weekend rates.  

If creativity isn't your thing, but you still want to impress your guests, then we also have a decorating service which we can match to your colour scheme or your theme. http://www.dazzlingtabledisplays.com/

Plans are well underway for the CIPR Northern Conference 2012 and as well as the opportunity to purchase Early Bird Tickets at a substantial discount before April 20th http://ciprnc2012.eventbrite.com/

 we have also started to secure some very impressive speakers, including Professor Anne Gregory PhD who is a Director at the Centre for Public Relations Studies at Leeds Metropolitan University. Anne is hosting a session on "Leaders of the Future" as part of the conference which is sure to be both fascinating and insightful. 

As soon as we have other speakers in place we will keep you posted!

We have another office Birthday this week as Carol is celebrating on 7th March (but we are not allowed to say how old!).

Carol is our intrepid accounts manager who keeps all of the finances in check and is often an un-sung hero in the office so Happy Birthday Carol - Cheers! 

Have a great week everyone!
