Heavy Chef Feb 2009: The New Tools of PR Posted in Heavy Chef News, Concocted by Fred Roed,
Published on 26 February 2009

Last night saw the first Heavy Chef Session of 2009. We had our biggest attendance yet, with around 80 people crowding into the venue on the third floor of the 24.com building in Green Point. (I know we only allow 50 people, but we’re working on a better system for inviting people). Apologies to the multitudes who were turned away, but we’re going to try and get the video of the proceedings sorted soon.

Thanks to our three speakers, Bev ‘Feisty’ Merriman, Cath Luckhoff and Kaz Henderson – you guys were great.

The Session started with Bev giving a brief overview of the new tools and how they work. Cath followed with a fascinating insight into the Rocking the Daisies PR campaign, which is a great example of the ‘new style’. Kaz ended off with some examples from Total Media’s stable – giving us some indication of how the bigger agencies (with bigger clients) are making the transition to true offline / online integration within PR strategy.

Thanks again to our sponsors: 24.com, Perderberg and Corona – the beer and wine went down a treat after a sweltering Cape Town afternoon.
