I certainly believe that we all know that Pressure is a word
that is misused in our vocabulary. According to my mentor, when you start
thinking of pressure, it's because you've started to think of failure or
defeat. For this particular case, allow me to use work pressure as one of the
reasons why my blog has been inactive for quite some time now.
My
plunge back to agency continues to be interesting; I have handled tasks that my
previous job couldn't have offered me the opportunity to do. As we speak am
struggling to figure out how one can engage the public with a condom brand
without necessarily encouraging promiscuity. One of the most ridiculous things
is how i have saved my client’s name on the phone. I wonder what will
happen when i have to pick that emergency request call from them at night.
On the industry front, Kenyan PR practitioners have started putting together their entries for the 2013 PRSK Awards , without a doubt 2013 is the year many of us have felt the role of our society. Apart from the insightful forums they organised they have put together the 2013 PRSK summit themed PR & Communication Management: New Challenges, New Opportunities.
This Summit will hopefully provide a forum for reviewing and redefining the potential of the profession as the country makes
transformational strides and ushers in Kenya@50.
This is not my specialty but
while we were (Kenyans) figuring out who had imported a whole container of bizarre items (later on it was confirmed they were Halloween costumes) some
brilliant minds rolled out a marketing campaign with mysteriously clothed men and signs that have been showing up in different locations around the world. Some
have been spotted on streets, mountains and even stadiums.
I hope and pray that
they will not show up in Kasarani Stadium during the Gor and Ingwe Kenyan soccer
derby because we will have to first figure out who paid those witches to finish
our teams respectively.
