A very exciting day in the J&H office today as our story for the re-launch of Patient.co.uk made the front page lead on the influential Huffington Post UK website.

We are thrilled to announce that Judge & Howard has been shortlisted for three awards in the 2012 Fresh PR Awards, a national competition that rewards innovative thinking.

National journalist and social media expert Guy Clapperton will be the guest speaker at an exclusive event for Judge & Howard's clients and contacts this Friday.

It's been a busy time for Judge & Howard.  Hot on the heels of our first award win, we've landed a significant new account and moved to new premises to accommodate our expanding team.

‘Five simple steps for social media success’ – unless you’ve been living in a cave recently you are sure to have seen claims like this, enticing the reader with promises of online fame and reputation like some sort of social media catnip. We just can’t resist…well, I can’t. But all too often I’m disappointed.

We're thrilled to announce that Judge & Howard won the silver award for Outstanding Small Consultancy at the prestigious CIPR NW PRide awards last night.

She's only been with us for a couple of months, but the PR influence has obviously rubbed off on Judge & Howard's part-time office manager Cheryl Twomey, whose personal campaign to save the lollipop people of Greater Manchester hit the headlines this week.

Has social media fundamentally changed PR? The Public Relations Society of America thinks so. That’s why the rather grandly-titled ‘Definition of Public Relations Task Force’ is on the hunt for “a modern definition for the new era of public relations”.

Two thoughts on this:

1) A Definition Task Force - seriously? I have visions of a Team America style crew taking on the evil forces of outdated dictionary terms.

2) Has the rise of social media really created a need to change the definition of PR? Personally, I think not. Here’s why.

Following our continuing growth and success, Judge & Howard is recruiting for a new Senior Consultant (Account Director-level role).

The media has always had an insatiable appetite for statistics - and in the social media age, so-called 'data journalism' is on the increase.
