My family dog of a number of years passed away on Sunday, having suffered from a cancer which we were too late to find. He was very sweet natured and spent many years as a guide dog before retiring and becoming an integral part of my family. To say that he will be missed will be a bit of an understatement, he was a legend and loved by all that met him. See you around buddy.

Came across a neat video about digital advocacy. Although it is highly US centric it gives you a great understanding of the importance of digital as a communications platform. My role at Weber Shandwick is to essentially implement digital advocacy for my clients, so the video is somewhat relevant.

Dwain Chambers doesn’t need lawyers, he needs PR. General public feeling towards his Olympic bid is negative, and this has obviously been influenced by a media that is generally negative towards his efforts. I’m not a fan, and I have no doubt in my mind he should be banned, but a suitable PR strategy would have helped repair some of the damage he did to his and his sport’s reputation.

Starring Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Connelly and coming out in December, this film looks like a potential classic. Check out the trailer here. Love the backing music.
