My ‘Dreams ‘N’ Ambitions’….

My journey so far to me has been a great one and here I stand to aspiring, I’ve been through crazy highs and crazy lows but they have all made me the man I am today.  We all have dreams me especially, but it is our ambitions and follow through that make them our reality. I’m not sure what on your list, but here’s a few that's on mine;

The ‘Uproar’ of a simple tweet.

Twitter trends and tweets are one of my key resources in keeping up with current affairs. I personally find ‘twitter’ faster than the news. But it was this article by Danny Rogers ("The problem with spontaneous tweets") taken from the ‘PR-Week’, which I found most amusing.

New York designer Kenneth Cole a week or two back used twitter trend ‘Millions are in uproar in #Cario’ to leek his new spring collection. Some found this offensive as this was at the peek of broadcast in regards to the issue. I guess it’s just free PR and that good or bad press, it's still coverage. Although the designer did announce an official apology and understood his tweet my have been seen as ‘insensitive’.

As this represents a brand, do you think the reputation of it was put at stake? My answer would be no, but many may disagree. What do you think?

Great News…..

I am very happy to announce a recent achievement of mine. It gives me great pleasure to say that for the next 9 weeks, I am to officially be a Taylor Bennett Foundation intern.

You can find out more info here: Taylor Bennett Foundation but to sum it up, it is a 10 week paid internship programme for aspiring public relations practitioners of black and minority ethnic backgrounds. ‎​In this first week alone, we've had the chance to attend London Fashion Week, meet Gene Cleckley at Fremantle Media, go to Taylor Bennett's amazing office and sit down with some of the directors of Talk PR (the host agency).

I’m still shocked I was selected as it was an extremely tough application process. Getting that ‘morning phone call’ was one of the happiest moments of my life. PR is something that interests me and that I adore- so to be paid whilst getting the opportunity to meet inspirational people, go to great places and also to be trained in the field; it's like heaven to me. Yes, it’s going to be a lot of hard work, but as they say, it’s not work when you love what you are doing. So… look out for my journey- it should be a fantastic one.


Here's some of the past interns....

Milan Fashion Week Winter 2011….

I’m not sure if you are, but this year I’m really excited about London Fashion Week. With it going on as we speak, I find my self glued to twitter and blogs for a sneak peek at the new lines for this coming winter. With is this in mind I thought I will give you a little insight in some winter lines from Milan Fashion Week a month back, which I found on fellow blog Until Tomorrow. It features some big names and gives a snippet into what to look for this winter.

Tinie Tempa live in LA…….

Last year saw the serious rise of UK ‘Wonderman’ Tinie Tempa, with his first smash hit ‘Pass Out’ produced by
Labrinth really paving a great career for him. This has led on to many more achievements over the space 2010 in the UK, but I was particularly happy to see that his music has made it across the pond to the States. We all witnessed the collaboration with Snoop Dogg on the remix of ‘Pass Out’ which was also performed at the Glastonbury festival last year; here he is again performing in LA on the Jimmy Kimmel show.

‘Sexy Shoes’ is a requirement……..

As a man, after many years experience with females, I’ve come to understand that shoes are a very important component of a women’s outfit.... especially ‘sexy shoes’ one might add. But it was this video directed by ‘Mistry Of Habs’ which recently brought this to my attention once again. After watching the video, I have even decided that if I see a female and her shoes are not sexy, I’m not interested, also I really feel as if they should have casted me in the video somewhere lol.

Event Alert….‘Lord Of The Ribs’

This is a must attend event and comes to the Indigo2 on the 13th February 2011. This is going to be great night of laughter, especially in regards to African comedy. I will not bore you with the line up or information; I’ll just let this video speak for itself, while I try find myself a ticket.

Hard work pays off……'G Frsh'

G Frsh is a man who has put a lot of hard work into the game over the last few years. Not only just in music, but in film production and in fashion, owning his own clothing line 'Frsh Clothing'. 

It was great to see him finally get a record deal and this seriously shows ‘hard work pays off’. A key component that I admire is his entrepreneurial drive; I believe there will be a lot in store coming from him. So watch out, and also have a look at this video- It displays some interesting facts about him.
