Dear 2025 Louise, You were so close to burnout, and you didn’t even notice. Your energy levels were low; the fog was coming in and your compass was spinning. Your “get-up-and-go” had quietly hoisted it sails and left the harbour. Your creativity, the very thing clients come to you for, was clinging on by your […]
As a marketer, I receive many requests for sponsorship in all its different forms. In my role as publicity officer for the class I sail in, I sit on the other side of the fence, and I am the one sending out the sponsorship requests. So, you could say, I am well-placed to provide some […]
There is a relatively new kid in town, Invisible PR. I am a strategic marketeer taking a very pragmatic and systematic approach to my work. What you see is what you get. At times I glide on the water’s surface like a swam whilst frantically paddling under the surface and at all costs I try […]
Imagine a world without failure. A world where everything goes your way. You say yes. Everyone agrees with you. No awkward conversations, no disappointment. You win every contract you apply for. Sounds wonderful, but where are the lessons? Without failure, you live in a world with no authentic life lessons that help define you. Stop […]

Is anyone else starting to feel a bit overwhelmed by 2022, or is it just me? As the world reopens it feels to me like there’s a firehose pointed at my face. And flowing from that hose is a torrent of information. Work and world news, images, videos. I’m in a constant state of alert, […]

I don’t know about you but whoosh and we are already in March 2022. How on earth did that happen? Answers to my inbox please hello@boxpr.co.uk! On the Box PR calendar February’s quote is from Marc Parent – “If January is the month of change, February is the month of lasting change. January is for […]
How it started. Just when you think the year that was 2020 couldn’t get any worse, you appear on BBC News In Pictures on the 31st December running, yes running off those mince pies, cheese, crisps and numerous roast dinners. If anyone wishes to see it you can do so here. 2020 certainly wasn’t all […]
Dear Louise, Have you made it, have you arrived at your destination? Confused? I thought you might be, as you have possibly forgotten about this letter that you wrote to yourself during a writing club you joined in 2021. I’m not referring to the letter where you tried to pre-plan your whole life (you never […]
