<description><![CDATA[<p>I reckon that our approach is maybe a little bit different than most PR agencies.  Firstly we're not even sure we're a PR agency as a lot of the stuff we do isn't "traditional" PR, but then again it's hard to define what is "traditional" and "non-traditional" and, to be honest, we don't spend that much time worrying about it.  Instead, we just get on with the job in hand and try and help our clients by giving them creative solutions to their problems.</p>

<p>Another thing we're not is a "specialist" agency.  We have lots of motoring clients, but we aren't a motoring specialist.  We have lots of charity clients, but we aren't a third sector specialist.  We have lots of FMCG clients, but we aren't a food specialist.  We are "specialists" at building brands and making them famous for the right reasons.  </p>

<p>All that said, we're pretty chuffed to be nominated as best PR team at the specialist gaming awards MCV for our work on our gaming clients <a href='http://www.sega.co.uk/' target='_new'>SEGA</a> and <a href='http://www.ea.com/' target='_new'>EA</a>.  Fingers crossed.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>We're kicking off our third year of the <a href='http://www.ukbeatboxchampionships.com/' target='_new'>Vauxhall UK Beatbox Championships</a>, which is a brilliant concept and hits a perfect demographic for the ever-relevant <a href='http://www.vauxhall.co.uk/' target='_new'>Vauxhall</a> car brand.  This year we've created a nice piece of "sticky" content in the form of a Corsa-shaped working microphone (right), which we hope will kick-off a load of branded conversations.</p>

<p>B-b-b-b-bad (sorry).</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Ever wondered what was lying next to you during a good nightâs sleep? Well, wonder no more.  The answer is 10 million bed bugs.</p>

<p>Our client <a href='http://www.sheilaswheels.com' target='_new'>Sheilasâ Wheels</a> has done a spot of undercover research and found that half a million Brits wash their bed sheets just three times a year with Londoners named as the worst culprits.  Under 25s were also found to have the dirtiest bed sheets as one in 10 admitted to washing theirs just six times a year.  And if that doesnât make you itch and want to put the washing on as soon as you get home, perhaps these pieces will â <a href='http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/158602/Secret-of-Britons-dirty-bedsheets-is-aired-in-public' target='_new'>Daily Express</a>, <a href='http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2010/02/17/who-s-been-sleeping-in-your-bed-10m-bugs-115875-22048357/' target='_new'>Daily Mirror</a> and <a href='http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/the_way_we_live/article7029484.ece' target='_new'>The Times</a>.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>No, it's Parrot AR.Drone... And the coverage keeps on flying in. It seems there is no stopping <a href='http://www.parrot.com/uk' target='_new'>Parrot</a>âs AR.Drone. Today saw the flying machine splash onto the front cover of Stuff magazine and featured as the #2 hot new gadgets â not bad considering Appleâs iPad is #1!</p>

<p>With tech-bible Wired magazine, amongst others, featuring the âgadget of the yearâ in the not too-distant-future, the AR.Drone is heading up, up and away.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Shoppers beware! On High Streets across the country Brits are seeing red as they wait in line, admitting that they suffer from âqueue rageâ after just three minutes, according to (our new client) multimedia retailer <a href='http://www.qvcuk.com' target='_new'>QVC</a>.  Other top shopping hates include unhelpful shop assistants, busy stores, poor quality goods and a lack of available colours or sizes.  Stroppy shoppers admit to arguing with their partner, throwing tantrums and even bursting into tears...!</p>

<p>The story certainly resonated with the media and we got some great coverage in <a href='http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/156075/3-minutes-time-it-takes-for-us-to-get-queue-rage-' target='_new'>Daily Express</a>, Daily Telegraph, Metro, <a href='http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2010/02/04/a-waity-issue-115875-22017225/' target='_new'>Daily Mirror</a>, <a href='http://www.dailystar.co.uk/posts/view/120488' target='_new'>Daily Star</a> and on BBC Radio Five Live today.</p>

Confirmed on the bill is Paloma Faith, Coco Sumner (of Sting's daughter fame, George Lamb and Mr Hudson.  We've had record ticket requests, loads of coverage, a full media guestlist and a whole load of "names" who want to get on the ice!  </p>

<p>We're busy putting the finishing touches to the set (designed by Tabitha and Tom of Florence and the Machine fame).  Should be fun.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>The secret is out and it may raise a few perfectly groomed eyebrows as one in ten men have admitted to using their partnerâs make up! It seems men just canât get enough of their âguylinerâ and âmanscaraâ, but be careful ladies, as a fifth of men polled by <a href='http://www.sheilaswheels.com/' target='_new'>Sheilas Wheels Home Insurance</a> admitted to causing damage in the home with a beauty gadget or product - hair straighteners were named the worst offenders. </p>

<p>The story seemed to entertain the media and we got some great coverage today in the <a href='hhttp://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/153287/Own-up-chaps-you-have-been-slapping-on-the-wife-s-make-up' target='_new'>Daily Express</a>, The Sun, and <a href='http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1244945/Britains-pretty-boys-turning-partners-make-bags.html' target='_new'>Daily Mail</a>. </p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday we had the privilege of <a href='http://www.joemadfan.com/' target='_new'>Joe Madureira</a> in the office. He's one of the most influential comic book artists of all time (including Marvel's X-Men, Spiderman, etc). Why was he at Mischief HQ? Because he's the brains behind <a href='http://www.thq.co.uk/' target='_new'>THQ</a>'s latest game <a href='http://www.darksiders.com/' target='_new'>Darksiders</a>. Fortunately we've been getting the game some good publicity so he's a fan of Mischief. We're hoping he'll do us a drawing and transform us into superheroes.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>According to our electronics client <a href='http://www.parrot.com/uk' target='_new'>Parrot</a> the future has arrived...well, in the video gaming sense.  They have created the AR.Drone, the first quadrocopter (think a helicopter but with four blades) using augmented reality and piloted by Wi-Fi. In simple terms, it means you can control this robotic marvel using an iPhone, the cameras on it give you a pilotâs perspective and youâll soon be shooting down enemy planes inside your living room using the technology known as augmented reality.  </p>

<p>Since being unveiled at the CES in Las Vegas this week, it has had journalists salivating calling it "the future of gaming". A full page in today's Metro as well as coverage in <a href='http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/ces/6939359/CES-2010-the-most-awesome-iPhone-video-game.html' target='_new'>Daily Telegraph</a>, <a href='http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2010/jan/06/ces-iphone-controlled-drone' target='_new'>The Guardian</a>, <a href='http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23791623-toy-helicopter-for-techies-to-race-in-the-living-room.do' target='_new'>Evening Standard</a> and most of the nationals.</p>

<p>Needless to say strategic seeding has meant it's gone crazy online (type Parrot A.R Drone into your search engine to see the results).</p>

<guid isPermaLink='true'>http://www.mischiefpr.com/news/2010/01/07/chore-wars/</guid>
<description><![CDATA[<p>If you think you are the only one who gets annoyed when your other half doesnât do their share of the housework, then you are sadly mistaken.   The average couple spends 40 minutes a day arguing about household chores â the equivalent to 10 days a year! â according to esure home insurance.  Seems to have hit a nerve with pick up today in the <a href='http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1241161/The-40-minute-chore-wars-How-couples-spend-hours-arguing-didnt-washing-up.html' target='_new'>Daily Mail</a>, <a href='http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/150141/At-least-we-still-have-time-for-a-row' target='_new'>Daily Express</a>, <a href='http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2010/01/07/daily-40min-chore-rows-115875-21948139/' target='_new'>Daily Mirror</a>, Daily Sport and <a href='http://www.telegraph.co.uk/family/6939969/Couples-spend-40-mins-arguing-over-household-chores.html' target='_new'>Daily Telegraph</a>.</p>

<p>The biggest bug bears?  Leaving clothes strewn around the house, putting off home improvements and not doing the washing up.  Funnily enough the same as Mischief's office annoyances.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Following on from our Vauxhall Motors summer <a href='http://www.mischiefpr.com/news/2009/06/28/get-your-skates-on/' target='_new'>roller-disco</a> event we're now putting on Vauxhall Ice Skate, the last ice skate of the season. The event website is now live at <a href='http://www.vauxhalliceskate.com/' target='_new'>www.vauxhalliceskate.com</a> and has been getting some nice pick up in trend and listings press. Really nice identity from illustrator <a href='http://www.siscottstudio.com/' target='_new'>Si Scott</a> who has designed the logo (right) and ice skates. Paper artist <a href='http://www.helenmusselwhite.com//' target='_new'>Helen Musselwhite</a> created the frozen lake scene background for the website. </p>

<p>Some top name DJs performing, celeb attendees and a "enchanted evening" theme should make it an event to remember.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>INQ Mobile is a new client with a brief to launch their new phone with an inbuilt Twitter function. To get it out the blocks - and with a very short turnaround time - we identified 2009's most influential Tweeters (a.k.a the Twitterarti). It's simple, it's cost-effective and it drew attention to the phone's Twitter capabilities.  Coverage included the <a href='http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/twitter/6832287/Most-influential-British-Twitter-users-revealed.html' target='_new'>Daily Telegraph</a>, <a href='http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1236629/Peter-Cashmore-influential-Twitterer-Britain.html' target='_new'>Daily Mail</a>, Metro and The Sun, but the real value comes in the hundreds of online INQ conversations stimulated by the story.  </p>

<p>Oh, and we commissioned some nice Twitter art, made from thousands of Twitter logos, to support it too (Stephen Fry on the right), which is getting some nice <a href='http://ok.co.uk/celebnews/view/17108/McFly-s-Dougie-Poytner-and-Tom-Fletcher-beat-Jonathan-Ross-is-Twitter-war/' target='_new'>pick up</a>.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Last night we travelled to Vienna to pick up a European Excellence Award for our work on <a href='http://www.amazon.co.uk/Week-Airport-Heathrow-Diary/dp/1846683599/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1260547567&#38;sr=8-1' target='_new'>Heathrow: The Book</a>. It was a really nice ceremony, and obviously good to pick up an award.  However, what was even better news is that National Geographic magazine has done a big feature on the campaign as part of its "celebrating aviation" issue, which has been put directly into the hands of people like Gordon Brown and...Barack Obama!  </p>

<p>The aviation industry gets a bad press, and it's sometimes easy to forget the huge impact cheaper accessible global travel has actually made to world economies, culture and growth.  Anyway, enough of the campaigning, but it's a happy Friday thought that the President of the US may spend his weekend reading our work.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>...but the dog ate my keyboard. </p>

<p>Welcome to 'The Late Debate', a story from <a href='http://www.esure.com/' target='_new'>esure home insurance</a>, which is all over the papers today. </p>

<p>Our study for esure shows that just seven per cent of employers actually trust the reasons their staff give for not being on time for work. It also revealed that we regularly blame problems at home for our lateness, with some of the worst excuses including not being able to shut a window, getting locked in or out of the house and flooding from washing machines. </p>

<p>We're picturing panicked commuter faces this morning as they read the news in papers including <a href='http://www.dailyexpress.co.uk/posts/view/141142/Late-for-work-Don-t-lie-br /
to-boss/' target='_new'>Daily Express</a>, <a href='http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?Lies_over_lie-ins_dont_wash_with_bosses&#38;in_article_id=772850&#38;in_page_id=34' target='_new'>Metro</a> and <a href='http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/6596777/Managers-see-through-workbr /

The theme for next season's collection is 'The Hidden Tiger' and the secrets that lie behind closed doors. To showcase this idea to media we completely made over a vacant shop in Soho's Kingly Court, creating oversized keyholes for doors and a giant Japanese tansu chest with Onitsuka Tiger trainers hidden inside, so the journalists could discover them for themselves as they arrived. The press day got a great reaction with 75 national, fashion and consumer journalists coming to find out more about next year's secrets.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Recent figures show that personal thefts are up 25 per cent on last year. We're not usually the type to panic, but that got us concerned about how much valuable stuff we carry to and from work every day. It also gave us an angle for a quick turnaround story for our insurance client <a href='http://www.esure.com/' target='_new'>esure</a>, which has just appeared in tonight's <a href='http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23764143-pound-3000-gadgets-in-a-commuters-bag.do' target='_new'>Evening Standard</a> and London Lite. The story reveals that Londoners regularly take more than ÂŁ3,000 worth of technology to and from the office making them a target for criminals. Make sure you're careful if you're reading this on your iPhone tonight.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Last night we dusted off last week's PR Week tuxedos and cocktail dresses and went to the PRCA Awards. We were up for two awards - Media Relations for <a href='http://www.mischiefpr.com/news/2009/08/30/britains-top-dog-model/' target='_new'>Dogside.com</a> and Consumer for <a href='http://www.mischiefpr.com/news/2009/06/01/giddy-up/' target='_new'>Kempton Park</a>. We obviously like both campaigns and they worked well in delivering for the brand, but if we're honest we didn't expect to win. Well, we did - both, and then Campaign of the Year for Dogside.com. A very pleasant surprise and more trophies for the shelf. We're lucky to have a great bunch of clients who back our ideas, and the awards are as much for them as us. On to selling a feature into Horse &#38; Hound magazine...</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Today sees the launch of the new <a href='http://www.footballmanager.com/' target='_new'>Football Manager 2010</a> videogame.  To announce it we've managed to sign Spurs boss (and managerial legend) Harry Redknapp and convince him to release his personal phone number with a copy of the best-selling football management simulation.</p>

<p>The lucky recipient of the "golden number" will be able to call Harry anytime they want to ask real managerial advice - helping them with their virtual football management.</p>

<p>Fingers crossed it'll get some nice pick up, and communicate the fact <a href='http://www.footballmanager.com/' target='_new'>Football Manager 2010</a> is the closest experience to real football management. </p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Tonight is the PR Week Awards. Weâre up for two awards. Consumer campaign of the Year and Agency of the Year. We donât expect to win either, but weâre grateful to be nominated â especially as weâre the youngest agency ever to be up for Agency of the Year. </p>

<p>Awards are always a nice bonus and give the company a lift, but the satisfaction of our clients (rather than ourselves) is always our number one aim. Weâre convinced tonight wonât be our night, but in a time of economic uncertainty all around us, we feel good and are excited about what weâre doing and achieving for our clients. Long may that continue.

<description><![CDATA[<p>Last month we commissioned Alain de Botton to be Heathrow's writer-in-residence as part of  strategy to get people noticing the airport <a href='http://www.glasshousepartnership.com/blog/heathrowâs-act-of-transparency/' target='_new'>differently</a>.  The book has now been written and due to be published on <a href='http://www.alaindebotton.com/a_week_at_the_airport.asp ' target='_new'>Monday</a>.  Tomorrow Alain will return to the airport to be Heathrow's reader-in-residence (see what we've done there) reading extracts over the tannoy system.  The <a href='http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23748064-details/Flight-on-the-wall+writer+reveals+secret+stories+of+Heathrow/article.do' target='_new'>Evening Standard</a> has already given the story a nice write up (in record time) and we've got a full day of media lined up tomorrow.  </p>

<p>Quite a proud moment seeing our first Mischief book delivered from the printers.</p>

<p>We also produced a nice piece of content with Trevor Baylis OBE telling us how he "changed the rules" to make mass communication accessible in the Developing World through his wind-up radio.

<description><![CDATA[<p><a href='http://www.heathrowairport.com/alaindebotton' target='_new'>Heathrow: The Book</a> was mentioned in most national newspapers this weekend (including <a href='http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/article6806507.ece' target='_new'>The Sunday Times</a> and <a href='http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/article-1208046/Heathrow-Terminal-Fives-new-writer-Alain-Botton-reveals-airport-secrets.html' target='_new'>Daily Mail</a>) and we're still fielding loads of enquiries from the UK and overseas.  It's nice to see it go global being covered in every Continent, but better that it's being reported as a great example of <a href='http://www.glasshousepartnership.com/blog/heathrow%E2%80%99s-act-of-transparency/' target='_new'>transparent marketing</a> to encourage people to see the airport in a different way - exactly what we set out to do.  We've had the opportunity to read some of the extracts and it's emotional stuff.  </p>

<title>Heathrow: The Book</title>

<guid isPermaLink='true'>http://www.mischiefpr.com/news/2009/08/19/heathrow-the-book/</guid>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Ok, it's been a hectic few months pulling it all together, but today we can finally announce our latest <a href='http://www.heathrowairport.com/alaindebotton' target='_new'>Heathrow</a> campaign.  In a piece of brand-funded content we've appointed world-respected author <a href='http://www.alaindebotton.com' target='_new'>Alain de Botton</a> as the airport's first ever independent writer-in-residence.  He'll be sat at a desk in <a href='http://www.heathrowairport.com/alaindebotton' target='_new'>Heathrow</a> T5 for a week writing about the workings of the airport.  The airport is the setting, and the staff and passengers its characters.  </p>

<p>It's a nice story (at least <a href='http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23733561-details/Philosopher+becomes+first+writer-in-residence+at+T5/article.do' target='_new'>The Evening Standard</a>, Metro, <a href='http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/aug/18/alain-de-botton-heathrow-airport' target='_new'>The Guardian</a>, The Times and <a href='http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/19/business/global/19adco.html' target='_new'>New York Times</a> and a whole load of broadcast think so).  BUT, it's much more than a story - it's going to be the first Mischief book, which will be available from all good bookshops come late September (even competitor airports).  Alternatively pre-order from Amazon <a href='http://www.amazon.co.uk/Week-at-Airport-Alain-Botton/dp/1846683599/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1250169777&#38;sr=1-1' target='_new'>here</a>.</p>

<p>Such a cool project to be doing and big credit to <a href='http://www.heathrowairport.com/alaindebotton' target='_new'>Heathrow</a> for opening up the airport to literary critique.  Why?  Well, as Alain says: "You might not end up liking what I write, but that seems to me less important than the overall purpose of having a writer-in-residence at a desk in a terminal. It's an invitation for everyone to start thinking more creatively about the airport, it's a way of saying that Heathrow, for all its well-known troubles, is very much a place to notice." </p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>We don't obsess about them, but they do make the Mischief mantelpiece look nice so it's good to be shortlisted for PRWeek Best Consumer Campaign of the Year for <a href='http://www.mischiefpr.com/news/2009/01/20/bloomin-marvellous/' target='_new'>IHG: Hanging Gardens of Paddington</a> and (drum roll please) PRWeek Best Consultancy.  The second shortlist is somewhat surprising given that we're only three and a half years old (the youngest agency ever to be shortlisted).  We don't expect to win, but we are secretly hoping we do.  Anyway, back to work.    </p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Last night saw history in the making as our client <a href='http://www.kempton.co.uk/' target='_new'>Kempton Park</a> hosted the worldâs first horse race run to live music.  The âClassical Canterâ was accompanied by the <a href='http://www.rpo.co.uk/' target='_new'>Royal Philharmonic Orchestra </a>(or Royal Filly-monic Orchestra) who played the William Tell Overture to the third official race of the evening as part of the courseâs Best of British Gala Night.  The event was a huge success with the 4,000 attendees and it certainly seems to have got people talking, including <a href='http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8141538.stm' target='_new'>BBC London</a> and the <a href='http://www.racingpost.com/media/media_centre.sd?view=rp&#38;media_id=8295' target='_new'>Racing Post</a> (where you can watch the race in full).</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Last summer we created the world's first <a href='http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grass-flip-flops' target='_new'>grass flip flops</a> to kick off <a href='http://www.krispykreme.co.uk/' target='_new'>Krispy Kreme</a>'s summer campaign of spreading summer magic moments to city workers.  This year we've developed a park in a briefcase.  A little bit weird, but also a little bit special.  It's the finest 50,000 blades of grass you can grow and so, so comfy to sit on.  Resident model Andrea poses (right) as the doughnut brand kicks off another feel-good moment.  Now, just need that Stawberry and Kreme treat.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>This summer our client <a href='http://www.LateRooms.com/' target='_new'>LateRooms.com</a> is turning a series of usually out-of-bounds locations into hotel suites and offering its customers the chance to stay for one night only. Last night saw the launch of the <a href='http://www.laterooms.com/en/GreatRooms.aspx/' target='_new'>GreatRooms</a> summer campaign with a spooky stay within the most haunted part of London Dungeons. Hotel suites will then open up in the alcove of an ocean tank at Hasting's Blue Reef Aquarium, in the paradise setting of the Eden Project and then at the 'Theatre of Dreams' - Old Trafford Football Stadium.</p>

<p>All you have to do to get the chance to stay in one of these temporary hotel rooms is apply online at <a href='http://www.laterooms.com/en/GreatRooms.aspx/' target='_new'>GreatRooms</a>, but be quick because a preview of the campaign in Friday's London Lite led to a hundreds of applications and requests are still coming in thick and fast.</p>]]></description>
