Public relations. It’s not about Champagne and glitzy nights.
Well, not at Citypress.
Granted, we are acquainted with both occasionally, but it isn’t at the Paris Hiltonesque rate that flits across the average mind when you tell people that you work in PR.
In fact, with the agency headcount growing to 30 people, socialising en masse has become a bit unwieldy.
But, to paraphrase Frank Gallagher, we still know how to throw a party – 12 of them actually. Dinner parties.
October sees everyone at Citypress tie their apron strings for our second annual Come Dine with Me competition.
If you’re familiar with the cult Channel 4 show you’ll appreciate how competitive a pleasant evening of food and drink can get.
But on TV there’s only five contestants. We have four groups of six people cooking in pairs. We’re catering for vegetarians, coeliacs and people who live in Chorlton.
All of this culminates in a Grand Final in November. Liposuction in December.
We’ll embarrass the winners next month.
