Rememberance Day Campaign 2007

I've had a fun couple of days working on PR for the Poppy Appeal 2007. The Royal British Legion has created a 6'5" sculpture of a dude made out of poppies which is appearing at various places to raise awareness. He also has a blog at http://whereispoppyman.blogspot.com, detailing his journeys round London.

I've found it really interesting working with the SPA Way - they're a very media focussed PR agency, and the sheer pace and panic of PR is very different to what I'm used to as an advertising account planner. Anyway minor excitement this afternoon as Poppy Man was centrefold in today's Evening Standard.

Mad props to our photographer, my friend Fred who's currently between advertising creative placements and working as a runner for a C4 production.
