In defence of the PR, I have some clients who trust us completely and give us a free reign to go off and create whatever coverage we can for them, while other clients will want you to get approval from them before you blow your nose in front of a journalist. Generally speaking, the larger clients are the more paranoid ones, making the PRs less likely to p'ss them off over a piece of unwanted coverage - its sad, but true. <br><br>Out of interest, have you ever tried asking Apple's PR agency if they have any news? I'm sure they are a great agency, but I would be surprised if they could magic up news for such a company at the drop of a hat.Nick DillonTue, 19 Aug 2008 11:41:43 -0000
