STRICTLY PROHIBITED: Curse or Coincidence?

Posted on October 26, 2018July 2, 2021 by Sorcha Conway

When deciding on a topic for my first blog post, I thought to myself; What am I interested in? What would my readers be interested in? What’s been going in in the media this week? So, I thought I’d keep this light-hearted and discuss the recent Strictly Come Dancing scandal. If you don’t like Strictly

Donald Trump’s PR spin war

Posted on October 25, 2018July 2, 2021 by jordanarthur96

  The 20th of January 2017 is a date which will forever stick out in my mind as it is the date that Donald Trump was officially elected as the 45th president of the United states of America and the political sphere of the world changed forever. The strangest fact of the entire election was that Trump didn’t win

Strictly Curse or PR Blessing?

Posted on October 24, 2018July 2, 2021 by Lucy Sempey

It started with a kiss. Last weekend, Seann Walsh and his Strictly Come Dancing dance partner Katya Jones were photographed kissing after, what they later described as, ‘a few too many’. A standard work-place faux pas, that a lot of the nation can unfortunately relate to, made all that more severe by the fact that

Gender Roles Are Changing – So Why Aren’t Ads?

Posted on October 23, 2018July 2, 2021 by niamhmurray

I’ve been meaning to write about this for some time now, but I’ve barely had a chance to get out of the kitchen to do so. I know what you’re probably thinking, “here we go again, another feminist rant”. Well, before you roll your eyes (they’ll get stuck up there, you know), hear me out.

Minding Your Mood: Mental Health Awareness Day

Posted on October 22, 2018July 2, 2021 by markdaly2

  On October 10, World Mental Health Day, many people took to their social media to share a quote or inspirational story to advocate and honour mental health. However, this year, I noticed the prominence of poor mental health within young people, and more specifically, young people I knew. I was shocked to read and

Banksy: King of PR.

Posted on October 19, 2018July 2, 2021 by hegarty-s16@ulster.ac.uk

We all know the name, we all know his work but we have no idea who he is. How does someone anonymous become one of the most famous names on the planet? Effective Public Relations. As an artist, Banksy is undoubtedly talented but his artistic skill isn’t the reason people are so intrigued by him.

An Average Blog – More or Less

Posted on October 18, 2018 by eoincrossan97

So, as you have probably read on several other blogs within this site, the whole my name is ____ I am studying ____ and basically only posting on here because my lecturer told me to do so in order to achieve my grade in his or her module. I don’t think anyone will actually admit

Controversial Advertising: Stupid or Strategic?

Posted on October 17, 2018 by niamhmurray

Have you ever seen an ad and thought “who thought that was a good idea?!” And no, I don’t mean those corny ads like something you’d see on The Apprentice. I mean those ones that make you think “who approved that?” or “umm why?” I’ve always thought the whole “all press is good press” notion

Dunkin’ Drops Donuts

Posted on October 16, 2018 by giannapornasdoro

Who says Dunkin’ Donuts anyway? My name is Gianna, and I am fully aware that we do not have Dunkin’ Donuts in Northern Ireland. But I’m pretty sure that 99% of us know what it is, and I think that’s enough to write about this piece of news. The fast-food chain announced the news on
