10 Yetis Examples of Good and Bad Public Relations- Monday 16th July 2012

Jul 16th 2012

Oh hey everyone, trust your weekend was great - did you frolic in the rain and mud like I did? This is Alexa to kick start the week with some good and bad PR!

Bad PR

An accidental bad PR slap has to go to Louboutin shoes today. It has emerged that you can recreate a pair for yourself for a fraction of the cost. The highly coveted designer's shoes have an iconic red sole and are famed for their impossibly high heel. The press reports that you can paint the heel yourself, attach studs - or any other decoration, for that matter - with glue and walk the walk without, er, paying the money. Of course, this somewhat devalues the Louboutin brand and will probably make people think twice before forking out if they think someone's got a fake. However, on the flip side, some more exposure for the fame brand if people are willing to go that far to recreate them- so swings and roundabouts!

Good PR

Warm PR cuddles all round for Sky as Kelly Brook took to the streets of Manchester in a plunging red dress and heels today. It's all part of Sky's Sky Ride campaign to get people riding bikes again to help reduce congestion around the London 2012 Olympics. The press have fallen in love for her big...smile and pictures adorn the pages. Some great exposure (read into that what you will).
