Media Coverage 2009

I’m trying to become more of a record keeper. I’m normally terrible at writing things down and keeping a track of things that have now passed. I prefer to look forward rather than back. However, I’ve decided that’s no excuse for poor record keeping so I’m going to try and change that. Starting with an…

Dogs in Vogue: Are Dogs Treated as Fashion Accessories?

Today I made my second appearance on BBC Radio 4’s ‘Woman’s Hour’ radio show. The topic was related to the recent book ‘Dogs in Vogue’ which is, as it happens, a very nice book – amazing shots (as you’d expect) and in my opinion didn’t portray dogs as fashion accessories at all.

K9 Magazine In Publishing Magazine

For some former print titles, the switch to digital edition is a step into the unknown, is not always done for the right reasons, and is done with little imagination. For K9 Magazine, a print title from an overwhelmingly digital stable, it was like coming home. Ryan O’Meara explains why they ditched their flagship print…

Business Books That Inspire Me Part II

The Three Counties piece was an item on the importance and value of socialisation…

Who is The Biggest Publisher in The World?

News International? Time Warner? Nope. Neither. It’s………… ……JP Morgan Chase! Knock me down with a feather. I would have never have got that question right in a pub quiz. But it’s true. Just heard it on Bloomberg. What next? Am I going to find out that the largest manufacturer of running shoes is not Nike…

How to Do Something as Big as Michael Jackson’s Thriller

I still remember when the Thriller video got its TV premier. It was such a big deal. Like, really a big deal. It didn’t fall short either. The hype was worthy. But how, in these days of media saturation, overnight celebrity and more brand launches in a week than you used to get in a…

Business Books That Inspire Me Part I

The first business book I would like to mention as being truly inspirational is called “Ready, Fire, Aim” and is written by Michael Masterson. The reason I particularly liked this book is because its key, central message is something I could relate to in myself and is something I can see – all too often…
