So far my limited number of blog posts have all been quite “work” focused– but life at Edelman is so much more than that. Take last Thursday night for example. The ‘Edel-Spook X Factor Karaoke Competition’. My current department, Healthcare took on Spook, my old department in the karaoke...

Well, yet another huge congratulations to Edelman…last week we won PR Week’s Large Consultancy of the Year Award 2011. This is a massive deal and an amazing achievement for the whole London team (I wish I’d been around longer so I could pretend to take some credit…but here’s to hoping I’m...

REFLECTIONS This morning I was asked to describe my time in JCPR in 3-4 words, so this is what I came up with: Cupcakes Champagne Late nights I have spent the last 6 weeks working on various accounts in JCPR, the consumer arm of Edelman. And yes, I have eaten LOTS of cupcakes (and muffins, cheese,...

I attended a Buddy Media presentation/Knowledge Share session on Friday. As a Digital convert I found it really interesting and thought it was definitely worth re-sharing my new found knowledge and give you an idea about the amazing things you learn when you are submerged in the realms of Digital.

With limited political knowledge, I was apprehensive about starting in an area where I knew my prior experience (or...

It has come to the end of my second week in JCPR (my first rotation on the Edelman Graduate Scheme), and I have already learnt an abundance of things. However, one of the main things that has become apparent since starting, is the value of creativity, and being able to think outside the box. Think outside...

So we have reached the end of our time on the grad scheme. It’s a terrible cliché but it really has gone so quickly, and it seems like an age since our first day back in September, when we arrived with feelings of excitement and in trepidation. It has been such an incredible experience, and a real...

It seems weird to write this knowing I have now finished the graduate scheme…it feels like only yesterday that I started, dressed to impress in my finest shirt and skirt! Trying to look confident and assertive, when in fact covering up the nerves which were racing round inside me.  I chose the graduate...
