I felt as if I was Britain’s biggest cynic when it came to the Olympic Opening Ceremony. I was ready to tune in and watch through my fingers as Danny Boyle portrayed Britain in a way that gave us cause to laugh at ourselves once again, whilst the rest of the world looked on bemused and unimpressed.

I knew that London would produce the least spectacular Ceremony yet. Whilst Bejing were more than happy to beat their chest and astound the world with their display of strength and power, London would be ‘oh-so-careful’ not to offend anyone or anything and show ourselves as everyone’s best friend. It wouldn’t be cool it would be cheesy and we would all be left red faced and cringing, wondering how they could get it so wrong and feeling unfairly represented as a nation.

I was certain that I would be able to come up with a superior spectacle within five minutes of the lighting of the cauldron.

PR Account Manager at White Space PR, Emma Noye and her team have been shortlisted for ‘Best Campaign £10,000 and Under’ in the 2012 East Anglia CIPR PRide Awards for their outstanding work with Ipswich Central.

Emma is the first to agree that work experience whilst studying at Lincoln has helped in her success.: “An  Easter work placement led to my first job when I graduated in a PR agency, then I was approached to work in-house for a software company handling all their marketing, PR and events. Then 18 months ago, White Space approached me to come on board and head up their fledging PR division and I absolutely love it!” Continue reading →
