Toyah’s Dreamchild reissue out Monday…

The reissue of Toyah’s 1994 album Dreamchild is released on Monday on Cherry Red Records (CMDRED451). I received my copy today so I could check out my expanded booklet and re-imagined front cover. This can be seen in the Toyah Reissues Program gallery.
New ‘hall of fame’ PR launch for Spark…

A new internal communications and PR program is set to launch on behalf of Gateshead-based fulfilment and contact centre specialist, Spark Response. The campaign is centred around past winners in its Reward and Recognition incentives scheme and aims to revitalise the scheme internally whilst enhancing Spark’s image as a people-focused employer in the North East. A series of photos by Newcastle-based photographer Saša Savić have been taken specifically for the campaign adding consistency to Spark’s existing image-lead brand, which has utlised Saša’s images since the company’s brand re-fresh in 2007. The PR campaign will be supported by Velvet Communications. See creatives from the campaign here.
Teesside tries it on the bus…

My campaign for Stagecoach North East, Try It On The Bus had been rolled out to Teesside. Initially covering the two Newcastle depots, the campaign now covers the depot at Stockton, with press ads, posters and onboard messages promoting the website (tryitonthebus.com) and competition. See artwork for the campaign here.
