Today’s media visit was a four hour long experience with Hearst UK. It is amazing how generous they were with their time.

Day Four: Welcome to Hearst and Last Day in London

The Hearst staff never disappoints; the insight the editors and others provide is […]
Fashion in London
The last day of London was long. It was filled with a jammed back itinerary at Hearst UK and then was spent doing some last minute shopping. Also, I saw where Freddie Mercury lived and had some lovely cookie dough. Wherever I went, I was always surrounded by well dressed people. Fashion is a huge […]

Battenhall is the agency of dreams, the agency that was promised, spoken about in advertising circles of old but only in hushed, longing whispers… they have plants! There was clearly effort put in to the layout of Battenhall to make it […]
