Whilst planning for and thinking about 2010 it's good too to reflect on the positives from the year just gone. It's so easy to forget achievements, even the smaller 'wins' and obstacles overcome.A key highlight for me was attending the Parliamentary Awards at the House of Commons at the end of the year organised by ComRes. It was a significant event in terms of the recognition of the charities' achievements and the involvement of key MPs and businesses.
There's always highs and lows in any business's year - PR is certainly no exception! Getting results for clients is one of the things that makes me tick. I doubt I'd be in PR if it didn't!
However, some other memorable moments have been those with a particular 'feel-good' factor (e.g.the awards mentioned) and events such as securing David Cameron's support of the OX5Run at Blenheim Palace for the Oxford Children's Hospital. I'm enjoying working on that event again for sponsors Allen Associates.
Whilst the year has had a fairly quiet with the snow flurries I've thoroughly enjoyed working on the launch of my sister's year-long charity event 10 4 10 (which she's organising in her spare time outside her busy job) to raise funds for ten charities. I'll be doing the DIY Dare. Keeps me ticking!
