Meet Liam
A true VIP, Liam enjoys a taste for the finer things in life. A welshman through and through, Liam splits his time between the green grass of the country and the red carpets of Cardiff city centre. When he's not sending us through his new business and marketing ideas; he might be found with his feet up and absorbed in one of his many books.FaceTime
Most of you know, I love the iPhone!
I’m already a proud owner of the iPhone 4 - and no - i haven’t had any problems!
But I saw a beautiful FaceTime ad from apple today to promote the iPhone4 video calling app.
I never thought how perfect video calling would be for deaf people! Three Mobile (remember them?) never did an ad which would show all the uses of video calling!
And you can only use FaceTime on WiFi - Three can do it anywhere - I bet the people in the three marketing department are KICKING themselves!
anyways - take a look and see all the clever uses for this genius piece of equipment! p.s check out how many views its had!

Spreading The Staff Republic Love!
I had loads of fun in London this week to promote THE STAFF REPUBLIC
Sarah (from the office) and I went to visit loads of P.R and Marketing agencies to spread the word.
Not only did we tell them about the The Staff Republic, we gave them cocktails as we all know keeping a brand moving is thirsty work. The cocktails were gorgeous (I couldn’t help but try them over at Academy (a.k.a. LAB Bar) on Old Compton Street and Lounge Lover in Shoreditch – GORJUZ!!!!
Can’t believe how many different agencies should be using The Staff Republic but aren’t.
If you are on here, reading my blog give the office a ring and find out a bit more. What harm can it do?
I promise we are the best brand ambassadors in the business!

Why i love BEcause and The Staff Republic!
I recently went on a BEcause and Staff Republic Interview day! I loved doing the interviewing – I felt a bit like Simon Cowell sitting between Phillipa (Danni) and Sophie (Cheryl) from Because HQ!
BEcause are one of the few agencies out there that are particular about who they employ! They like to meet all the staff face-to-face, and develop a good working relationship with their staff! I remember my interview with Because and I was quite nervous – but I got through it! (Thank’s Sally).
My life would be different if I hadn’t have gone to my interview with BEcause. I probably wouldn’t still be in the promotions and field marketing game game! Lets face it – its a tough industry to do long term! At that point I had been working as a Divisional Event Manager on a HUGE campaign for a supermarket – but I felt undervalued. They hadn’t budgeted properly – and in the space of six months cut my day rate by £30 – in £10 increments – while at the same time increasing my work load! Its not a great moral builder! No praise when things went right and less money for it too!
Then came along BEcause – who swept me off my promotional feet! They restored my faith in Brand Experience and Promotions! My first campaign was The Biggest Round and I was territory manager! The training day way in Warwick and we stayed in the Hilton – but I would have been happy with anything after months of staying in ‘barely’ hotels!
I met the BEcause staff, and was amazed at how nice and friendly and helpful everyone was. The campaign started off – and in the 13 weeks that I was on it – not once did I feel like I was on my own. If I needed to double check something, Phillipa was on the phone to help me out! It was a new world!
From there, things have got better, and I work for BEcause whenever I can! On occasion if i’m offered a job with another agency – I have been known to check if BEcause have anything for me before I book on just so I can work for them!
Then came along The Staff Republic – and when they brought me and the other guys in to talk about what we would want from an agency – it was great to know that they cared what the people who worked for them thought – to the point of naming the agency (that was me!).
I was going to talk about how to get through a BEcause and Staff Republic interview! But that will have to be next week!
I love BEcause…. BEcause they Care, BEcause they are loyal, BEcause they make me feel valued, BEcause they listen and BEcause they respect me, (and BEcause they always pay me on time)!
Thanks BEcause!

Wind, rain or fire… promotional staff should use their initiative to deal with anything!
So, I’m waiting for my iPhone to come at the moment! It’s been three weeks due to the fact that there was a fire at O2! They clearly think that its a good enough reason to stop working…. i personally disagree!
When i’ve been doing promotions in the past, I have to contend with fires, floods and gale force winds. It’s never stopped me getting the job done… you just need to adjust to the situation you’re in - and pretty much get on with it. If you’re on a promotion where its so windy that your tent is being blown down, its not a reason to pack up and go home really…. is it?????? No! you just need to take the tent down (if you can) or go and get something to anchor it. I’m pretty sure the agency will let you claim back the money for whatever you use.
Promotions has always been about initiative for me. You never really know what could happen on a job; but there is no point in getting flustered about it. If you’ve been trained properly and have a bit of gusto, you can deal with anything. It might not always be the ideal situation, but its better that giving in! So next time your day doesn’t go quite to plan… step back and take a look at the bigger picture, and do what you have to do to make it work!
