We hate social media bloopers

Posted on 04. Aug, 2010 by neilcrump.

In the making of our ‘We Hate Social Media’ videos the Aurora team had to put themselves in front of a camera…

We put ourselves through this ‘ordeal’ because we believe that it is time for pharma companies to embrace social media with rigour and make a valuable contribution to the global health discussion that is [...]

PR Mum – How to be duped by a three year old

Posted on 19. Jul, 2010 by PR Mum.

This weekend I entered the world of Clown Town - a massive, indoor adventure playground for kids where weirdly there are no clowns… Arriving there at 10.00 am on a Saturday morning is always a worrying start to the weekend, but the big rotter had been invited to a double party, so it had to [...]

Note to self

Posted on 13. Jul, 2010 by PR Mum.

Note to self: must do better at parenting. In one week, I have missed parents evening, reversed into a nursery workers car and been told by the big rotter’s teacher that I should really try and remember the twice weekly gym kit, as they have been regularly having to lend her sports clothes from the [...]

Be brave

Posted on 25. Mar, 2010 by NW1er.

I was travelling down to south London at the weekend (weird, I know) and found myself absorbing the tube advertising, which I typically rarely see because I cycle to work. Walking along in my semi dazed state, I was struck by the word ‘coochie’, which appeared in a giant purple font. Not believing my eyes, [...]

Popping Postie

Posted on 08. Mar, 2010 by PR Mum.

The Postie will be delighted to read the news that the Government plans to provide break-dancing lessons for children as young as four in a drive against obesity. He has already taught the big rotter some basic breaking and popping moves, which she plans to show-off at the forthcoming school disco. He is also working [...]

Naps not nappies

Posted on 02. Mar, 2010 by PR Mum.

I re-discovered sleep during the half term holidays, as the rotters were handed over to their grandparents during a hostage transfer at a Little Chef service station. They got to enjoy a week in the country with their much-loved grandparents and we got a week off from being parents; free to go out and sleep [...]
