How to protect reputation – what we can learn from 2018
By Bridgid Nzekwu 29/01/20192018 was remarkable for the sheer number of major brands that faced reputational crises and faltered. To mention just a few: Facebook (data breaches); H&M (advert causes offence); Oxfam (sex scandal in Haiti); TSB (IT failure); Gatwick Airport (drones); Pret A Manger (fatal allergy), Ryanair (passenger footage of alleged racist incident). In every case, crisis media training would have prevented some of the self-inflicted damage caused by unprepared and out-of-touch spokespeople or slow and ineffective press offices and communications teams.

Drones 101– uncovering the mystery and exploring the menace and genius of drone technology
By Craig Gunn 17/01/2019Drones have been getting bad press recently. The disruptions caused by sightings of them around Gatwick Airport saw the Ministry of Defence deploy military counter measures to combat illegal drone usage, this was believed to be an Israeli-developed Drone Dome system, which can jam communications between the drone and its operator, as well as the airport investing £5 million in other secretive technology to prevent future attacks. More than 140,000 passengers were affected by about 1,000 cancellations and delays during the 36 hours of chaos* (Source cited from the BBC) The rate of Drone to Aircraft near misses in the UK has tripled since 2015. The UK Airprox Board (UKAB), which monitors all near misses involving commercial aircraft, said there were 92 incidents between aircraft and drones in 2017. That was more than three times the number in 2015 of 29. In 2016, there were 71 and the data is clearly tracking the growth in drone use (source cited from www.theguardian.com). Other stories in 2018 saw a rise in drones being used to drop contraband into prisons.

Become a PR Photography JEDI, science fiction over the fact!
By Craig Gunn 14/12/2018Whether we like it or not, for the next several years in the run-up to Christmas, the world will be engulfed with Star Wars mania after this week’s release of the latest instalment – The Last Jedi. I have been a life-long follower of the franchise having seen Empire Strikes Back in 1981 on pirate video tape. Needless to say my family and I have since spent a large sum of money on my accompanying childhood toys and attending every theatrical release since – so Lucas and Disney have definitely seen my space pounds over the years.
