Part of the reason I am busy at the moment is that I am completing the Chartered Institute for Public Relations’ Diploma in PR. This is an online, eight-month course that aims to bring PR professionals up-to-speed with the latest thinking on and practice in PR.
More than anything, I am enjoying the perspectives of my fellow students, PR professionals from all over Europe, who work in organisations as diverse as the police service, the national health service and the banking sector.
As I go along, I might post and share some information here.

There has been a lull in postings here for several reasons: 1. I took a full-time job and 2. I have started to study again.
armitagemedia continues to be open for business but I am no longer taking on big projects for myself. Instead, I am using my network to get the work done, helping my clients find people to do what needs doing and helping my contacts to get some additional gigs. All very charitable.
I’m now working at Swiss Re as a communications consultant, focusing on publications and some writing for the web. I work in the Issues Management team and I am also responsible for communications on some of the key issues that we track in the regulatory space.
More to follow…

A by-line for me today in the Independent newspaper in London for a story about a company supplying security printing software to the Zimbabwean state printer. An interesting read.

My latest client is pro helvetia - the Swiss Arts Council.
They do fantastic work promoting Swiss art and Swiss artists around the world and operate an amazingly diverse, multi-lingual communications platform out of Zurich. I’ll be working together with others on a new platform that will help Swiss embassies and other organisations to learn more about what the Swiss arts scene has to offer.

Here is the file and text of my most recent podcast, broadcast on 14 July, 2008. Enjoy.
Cars For Comrades
Cars for comrades
Everyone is turning green. Not gangrenous green but environmentally green. I have friends in the UK who have ploughed up their back garden to grown turnips and others who steadfastly refuses to use air travel to go anywhere. They are restricted to a 100 mile radius around their homes. A self-imposed travel ban.
