Today we enjoyed an all-too-fleeting visit from Heloise and Andrea, our lovely PR gurus from W+K Amsterdam. They are in town on a special 007 mission for our clients at Heineken, hosting journalists at a green carpet event for a sponsor's premiere of Skyfall. They managed to sneak away from Daniel Craig for long enough to lunch with us and to say hi to all the friendly faces they know here at Hanbury Street. The team colour co-ordination was purely by chance:

This week's New Media Age includes a top 100 survey of agencies 'most respected' by the PR world. I have to confess to being a little suprised to see that Wieden + Kennedy has topped the list, as we wouldn't normally think of PR as falling within our skill-set. But I guess that this result, and the inclusion of other 'ad agencies' on the list, just shows how the lines are now blurring between advertising, social media and PR. The shape and nature of a 'campaign' these days is very different as we seek to seed material, start conversations and stimulate debate around client's brands. With something like 'Cats with thumbs' for Cravendale, the TV advert is just one element amongst a whole range of stuff, some of which isn't even branded as coming from Cravendale. Anyway, many thanks, ladies and gentlemen of the PR world.
