10 Yetis Examples of Good and Bad Public Relations- Friday 24th August 2012

Aug 24th 2012

Hello 10 Yetis blog readers! Tis I, Emma, with your Good and Bad PR today. I'm off on hols next week so don't miss me too much- but I have got you a leaving present- this blog post! (you're welcome..)

Good PR
Ever wondered what your favourite TV characters' apartments would look like if they decided to up sticks and put it on Rightmove? Well, wonder no more!

Artist Inaki Aliste Lizzarralde has got some fantastic coverage for her incredibly detailed sketches of TV characters' apartments, with the Mail featuring her floorplans for the likes of The Big Bang Theory apartments, Friends and (my favourite) Frasier Crane. Such a simple way to get Great PR- talent!

Without further adieu, I give you the floorplans of our TV stars..

Bad PR
Now, it pains me to give today's Bad PR this award (as I've always been a big fan) but to ignore the stories all over the press today would be wrong. So, with a sigh, I give you Lance Armstrong as today's bad PR.

Despite battling several bouts of cancer to win no less than seven prestigious Tour de France titles, the US Anti-Doping Agency is apparently set to strip him of all seven titles after he announced that he would stop opposing doping charges made against him. Whilst this does all seem very confusing, and Lance still strongly denies using any 'doping' measures during any of the competitions, he's decided to stop arguing against the accusation that he used blood doping to illegitimately enhance his performance.

The choice by Armstrong means that his titles are automatically taken from him; his winning career, effectively, down the pan. Incredibly upsetting, and confusing, to say the least- and an odd decision should his claims that the allegations are false be true.
