One year ago I started my side hustle. A freelance PR/communications consultancy for aviation projects – Roger PR.The story was simple and so different from the typical “I was fed up with corpo and decided to pursue my dream”. I was not. I had been doing PR for great multinational companies for over 20 years.…
Working for a 17-year-old – sounds like a nightmare? Quite the opposite… …if the 17-year-old is a pilot flying around the world, the youngest in history, who wants to show the world that young people like himself can really make a difference. Meet Mack Rutherford (MackSolo). This British-Belgian pilot is attempting to beat the Guinness…
If you have a great story to tell, you can make the headlines – without PR agencies or advertising budgets, actually even without any PR or communications experience. 👉 I tried it. My test rabbits were a great, small team of an aviation firm, SkyDream. They sell ultralight planes, teach people to fly, do maintenance…
