So…what next!?!
Well, I think this is going to be my final blog posting on the Grad Scheme at Edelman. The scheme is ending at the end of next week. I cannot believe the past 8 months has gone past so quickly. So what now?! Heather and Clare have both been offered positions in two of the departments at the company which...
2010 off to a flying start
It has been over a month since my last post, partly due to the festive period but also due to an extremely busy first 3 weeks in my new rotation. I am now in Public Affairs (PA) and really enjoying it! I was very apprehensive going into this hardworking area of the office. I have very little political...
Merry Christmas, Everyone!!
Well it’s my last day before Christmas so I thought I should write a blog post before we all go off on holidays. The office is so empty as so many people have already left. Hopefully the snow and ice will hold off and I will get out off London tomorrow morning, and the country on boxing day. I...
My First Event Opportunity
Well a new set of graduates heralds a new set of insights into the life of an Edelman grad. We’ve been at Edelman for nearly 6 weeks and are now coming to the end of our second rotation; I’m in the Strategic Media Unit at the moment. Next week sees my move to Public Affairs, a department that I am...
Multiple Personality Blogging
I can remember the days when I knew less about blogging than I did about 18th century France. A telling insight into my modern world then, when it turns out that I now write for two blogs…fortunately I still know a little about Louis XVIth and the often embellished-upon tale of the fall of the...
Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t…
I know i won’t be garnering a great deal of support by expressing sympathy for our PM, Tony Blair, given the current climate. It seems these days that it’s cool to criticise him and ’so last year’ to be in support of the party and his leadership of it. That being said, a conversation...
What’s good for the gander is not necessarily good for the goose…
There are many irritating witticisms in life usually inflicted upon us by our forebears. Thinking about them briefly, i recall how many times i was told as a child to “do as i say, don’t do as i do” and yet in complete contradiction and with as great a frequency, “what’s...
Self praise is no recommendation…self promotion on the other hand…
Just a brief note to remind anyone interested in working for this award winning agency that the deadline for Edelman’s Grad Scheme is fast approaching – 31st January 2007. If you’ve not thought about it yet and have somehow, inexplicably stumbled across this glorious blog, take a look...
Debtors are Tossers, Say the Tory Party!
Look at this new viral ad and website run by the Tories: Debtors Are Tossers! Signalling a pretty drastic move away from David ‘man of the people‘ Cameron stance but it is genuine. Quote from David Cameron in today’s Guardian: “We know that we need to reach out to people disengaging...
Conference called….
Well, gang, it’s that time of the week again. Friday afternoon, 16:30, only 30 minutes to go before the weekly drinks and nibbles session in Dave’s Diner and what better precursor to this well deserved social booze schmooze session than an attempt to update you all on my movements this week. My second...
