Really, I'd be the last person to say I that I was too busy to do something.  I'm the yes girl!  So for me to use a "I've been too busy" excuse for not updating the rockstar PR diary.. is more than slack.. it's completely unimaginative and dumb.

It's kind of the truth though.  So, as I've done before during "busy times"  here is  a quick update on what's been going on in RPR.

I went back to school!  True I did, not PR school but Makeup school!  While I adore PR and this will always be my core work, I have always wanted to learn how to paint faces!  So, what I thought would be a quiet winter with the recession and everything else, I decided to go and learn.  And learn I did!  I attended SRA in Parnell, Auckland and came out with a fabulous experience and a set of new skills.  Freelancing in makeup artistry will be something to add to the RPR stable.. not sure how this will fit but I'm sure I can make it!  Perhaps a makeup client might knock on our door?  Who knows!

While I was swanning off at school and right now too actually, we have all been working super hard to get our Christmas PR plans sorted!  If you have a product that needs to have an increase on sales around Christmas, get in touch with us.. it isn't too late! Plus we have a couple of new options for Publicity that we are dying to show off.. it's a very exciting time at RPR.

A new network for NZ, that is already well established in Australia - PRinks is coming to our shores and will be run by rockstar PR!  This is an industry network group meeting monthly to share ideas and strengthen our relationships.  Big news for those of us in the industry, but we are also very keen to have clients come speak about your experiences in PR.. good and bad!  So again, please get in touch if you would like the stage to help educate us!

To finish off this somewhat novel of an update.. three rockstars in the stable are having a fabulous time right now:

- Massive congratulations to Lisa Turley on her business success!  Not only did she show at Toast Festival in London but several stores at home in NZ have picked up her pieces!  She is on the road to becoming a major ROCKSTAR! www.lisasarah.com

- Also, Paul Kettel.. now if you don't know about him.. you must be living under a rock! Paul was a finalist out of 1500 entries in the ANZANG Competition!  His work is utterly amazing - best check him out right now (I don't mind you navigating away from this page) www.paulkettel.com

- China White is rocking stronger than ever.. they are developing their business and are on the look out for a fantastic area manager for Auckland.. if this sounds like you, get in touch with me and we can chat!  Failing that - check out the website and try some of this delicious tea!  www.chinawhite.co.nz

Signing off for now.. and back to regular updates in the diary!  As alway, love to hear from you, our dear readers, feel free to drop us a line or give us a call!
