Kevin Gets a Date With The Ultimate Bond Girl!

I couldn't believe my luck the other day when Brazen PR asked Whale to design the ultimate Bond Girl! As I took the brief I thought it was only fair that I take on this challenge...

Bond's ultimate lady was made up from the best parts of the past Bond Girls, she’s already been christened 008 - in recognition of her birth year (2008) and her James Bond heritage - and features Ursula Andress’s legs, Halle Berry’s boobs, Sophie Marceau’s tummy and midriff, Eva Green’s head, Britt Ekland’s bum and Maud Adams’ hands.

The image was used to promote the premier of 'Quantum of Solace’.

take a look at the links below to see its coverage:

Which Mobile?

I can never make my mind up when that time of year comes around to update my phone. There’s a million different one’s out there and each one has a trillion different features, so I never know which to get. I usually just tell the person at O2 to give me their recommendation and have done with it! Not this year! This year I’m doing some homework.

I’ve been looking on some really good gadget sites and recommend www.lordpercy.com. It gives good reviews on loads of different products and latest releases.

Check it out and let me know which phone you think I should go for!

Online Social Networking & Gaming... A business tool?

Social networking & gaming on line is more important today for promotion as colour TV in the 60's & 70's, the next generation spend there evenings in front of a computer rather than a TV.

Online games audience has grown 16% pa, over 4 times the rate of normal internet growth. In June 2006, 28% of Britain (7.6 million) played, in December 2007, 43 million people went online to play games.

Imagine getting your product or service to these kind of numbers...

Jelly!

This week I’m off to see Andy Bounds author of the Jelly Effect. I met Andy when he was running a local networking group 4 years ago and now he earns fees of £10k per booking and works with the likes of HSBC & Astra Zeneca, so you can definitely say he’s gone up in the world. After last catching up over a coffee (for me, herbal tea for AB now he’s oh so healthy) so it will be interesting to see him ‘perform’ for 300 people. Whale share the same views about communication as AB however as most of you know we definitely don’t charge the same daily rate! Bargain indeed... http://www.andybounds.com/

Spanish!

This week I’ve been busy practicing my Spanish, mainly by ordering copious amounts of sangria from La Tasca! Check out their yummy menu on http://www.latasca.co.uk I’d definitely recommend the Patatas Bravas con Queso!

Also considering taking my next dive exam but unsure if I could cope with the freezing UK winter climate! What do you think? Let me know by emailing laura@whalemarketing.co.uk

I also found out the final amount raised at this year’s Relay for Life, the event I held over the summer for Cancer Research UK…. £20,000 plus!!! Well done team!
