Totally agree that fresh-faced PR's of one month, a year, or whatever have a lot they can bring to the PR pot, and the world would be a much more stale place without them. Was just questioning three years and veteran in the same description - but hey maybe you too are dosing on the irony? ;-)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, moving on - yep totally agree that PR agencies can run the risk of zapping the creativity and drive of someone not so "veteran" to the job, by imposing too much process and hierachy. And as yesterday's great easter egg fiasco shows (see blog entry above) the AD's of this world can stuff up far more spectacularly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28401170.post-79866794530005355202007-04-04T14:20:00.000+01:002007-04-04T14:20:00.000+01:00anonymous. you're looking a little pale. do you ne...anonymous. you're looking a little pale. do you need more irony in your diet?<BR/><BR/>as i said <A HREF="http://bloggingmebloggingyou.wordpress.com/2007/01/15/wheres-the-value/" REL="nofollow">here</A> there's plenty a wet behind the ears PR can offer to the jaded flak.<BR/><BR/>experience is a fluke of timing, not a yardstick of talent.<BR/><BR/>EdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28401170.post-48278653683890191402007-04-04T11:35:00.000+01:002007-04-04T11:35:00.000+01:00talking about accuracy and Easter Eggs (oh, you di...talking about accuracy and Easter Eggs (oh, you didn't mention easter eggs?).
