Chelsea stars get blue paint job for new Adidas film

Chelsea stars get blue paint job for new Adidas film

By Stephen Foster on April 9, 2013

Football really must be taking over the world if this new epic from Adidas and newish London agency The Corner is anything to go by. It’s to launch Chelsea’s new home kit – as if anyone cares, apart from Stamford Bridge-ites of course. Anyway there’s a certain pleasure in seeing John Terry and co dumped [...]

John Terry 'racist language' case shows what a mess football is in, whatever the court verdict

John Terry ‘racist language’ case shows what a mess football is in, whatever the court verdict

By Stephen Foster on July 13, 2012

Former England football captain John Terry was acquitted today in a magistrate’s court (not a criminal court) of calling rival footballer Anton Ferdinand a “fucking black cunt.” Terry’s defence was that Ferdinand had used these words to him and Terry had repeated them back to him, with satirical intent. Now if you believe this you’ll [...]

Are gay-supporting companies aiming for a better world or chasing the pink pound?

Are gay-supporting companies aiming for a better world or chasing the pink pound?

By Stuart Smith on July 12, 2012

Pink: it’s the new black. Brands are falling over each other to ‘out’ themselves as fellow travellers in the Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay and Transgender community (hereto after, LBGT). First we had Kraft, with its Gay Pride rainbow cookie (left), posted on a Facebook page. Then Google joined forces with Citigroup and Ernest & Young to [...]

Capello resignation shows why the FA-run England team is a marketing disaster

Capello resignation shows why the FA-run England team is a marketing disaster

By Stephen Foster on February 8, 2012

Let’s try to look at this logically. Football is a big business in the UK (BSkyB’s humungous profits depend on it, almost entirely). We have a very expensive Premier League of high-performing clubs, some of whose players are English. The finances of the England team depend on the willingness of supporters and commercial backers, sponsors, [...]

Is Cheryl Cole mania a sign that we've all gone stark raving mad?

Is Cheryl Cole mania a sign that we’ve all gone stark raving mad?

By Stephen Foster on October 29, 2010

Cheryl Cole is a singer who became famous with Girls Aloud (then in her maiden guise as Cheryl Tweedy), became a solo artist, a judge on the X-Factor and who married England footballer Ashley Cole (they’ve just divorced). And she seems, at 27, to be just about the most famous person on the planet. Last [...]

Rooney hoping to hang on to £7 million a year endorsement deals

Rooney hoping to hang on to £7 million a year endorsement deals

By David O'Reilly on September 6, 2010

Judging by initial reactions among the PR and sponsorship communities it looks as if Wayne Rooney’s endorsement deals are safe for the present, despite the lurid stories at the weekend alleging his prolonged involvement with a £1200 a night prostitute. Rooney is believed to earn over £7 million a year from sponsorship and advertising contracts [...]

 Now Robbie Earle and Rolls Royce  turn to the subtle arts of PR

Now Robbie Earle and Rolls Royce turn to the subtle arts of PR

By David O'Reilly on June 17, 2010

Plenty of action on the PR front today. Disgraced football pundit Robbie Earle has turned to former News of the World editor Phil Hall to attempt to rebuild his reputation after his sacking by ITV. As reported here yesterday, Earle was fired after match tickets provided for use by his family and friends helped Dutch [...]
