RSVPR wins its fourth client in its first month of trading.....05.05.2009Whilst busy preparing to launch its stunning website, RSVPR was approached by a London based company that is set to change the way we live our lives. When street shopping finally becomes a thing of the past and.... it will.....Makealist will be remembered as one of the forerunners of EasyShop Systems. When customers found Makealist to be one of the most simple, quick and trouble-free sites to manage, news travelled fast and the company itself has become an item in demand. With no plans to sell, Makealist Directors have turned to RSVPR for their PR management skills and brand control.
PR Brighton PR London PR Sussex RSVPR is born...01.04.2009After a year of anticipation, Stephanie St James has finally surrendered to the harsh encouragement from her very valued supporters. At the beginning of 2008, Stephanie started to receive many requests to head up her own PR company. Stephanie was flattered and honoured. However, her personal life allowed no such major move. Ironically, as businesses started to collapse at the end of 2008 and news reels revealed that this country had fallen victim to a serious economic decline, Stephanie, so typical of her character, decided now was perfect! As her personal circumstances permitted such a change, she started the ball rolling in February 2009 and by April 1st this year everything was in place and RSVPR was born. Stephanie has finished building her trusted and loyal team and together they prepare to serve businesses in Sussex, London and Europe. As the big picture illustrates a very slow recovery in business, it only spells out the greater need for PR, if any business out there is to survive and grow even stronger than ever.
PR Brighton PR London PR Sussex RSVPR tees off in a different direction.....21.04.2009With the team’s many links to the sporting industry, it is no surprise that RSVPR is expected to target those audiences and it is! Whilst Stephanie and her daughter were on holiday in Europe, they found their hotel situated in the middle of over 4000 acres of a golfer’s Mecca. As the only females on site, it was probably quite likely that they would be engaged in conversations. Dramatic debates about the world’s best new courses and highly visible opinions about the PGA’s varied references to golf resorts became the bar entertainment, most nights. Stephanie exhausted her supply of business cards and returned to the offices of RSVPR to find her inbox swamped with enquiries from golfers who are now happily convinced that RSVPR is the absolute oracle when it comes to finding the golfer’s paradise.

PR Brighton PR London PR Sussex Twenty Thousand Pounds of Fatboy Slim...15.06.2009Last Saturday, during SAMFest day, The Sussex Academy of Music welcomed the fuss and attention being paid to the original artwork that celebrates the exceptional musical talent of Fatboy Slim. The private collection of art, valued in excess of £22,000 was kindly donated by world famous artist Julie-Anne Gilburt, especially for this event. The collection is expected to remain at the academy for at least a further two weeks. SAMFest was held on the riverbank of the River Adur in Sussex, in glorious sunshine with an estimated two thousand people in attendance throughout the day. Separate stages welcomed well-known artists from the world of popular music, including a very special performance on the Roland Stage by Pete Brown, songwriter for 60’s super group Cream. The day continued with other great names and culminated with an exceptional live performance from the Decade All-Stars that opened up a dance floor for everyone from local councillors to the amazing Human Rhythm Machine Theseus Gerard, original member of Stomp. SAMFest was then, a very happy day for all and in particular, one lucky guest, who bought a £1 raffle ticket and won a shiny, new Hutchins Electric Guitar and Amplifier!

ITS A NO LOSE SITUATIO FOR SW1...29.09.2009It's not sure who shouted the loudest or who celebrated the hardest when the all British team, SWI Capital took powerboat racing to another level. #26 Team SW1 Capital rightfully claimed their third successive race win in the Sprint Race in Sicily earlier this month. A magnificent move by team sponsor, Simon Luhr, normally safely and securely seated at the forefront of SW1 Capital Asset Management, moved swiftly into a somewhat less safe seat as navigator on board the super power boat alongside the talented and skillful crew of Daniel Cramphorn and Kim Collins. Breathless news for everyone concerned as Team SW1 Captital sprinted home first in the Sicilian Grand Prix of the Sea in Syracuse.

The Ivy Club in London's Covent Garden welcomed Brighton's contribution to the greatest tournament in Football. With only 42 days to go, the 2010 World Cup is supported by the Knot Violence Campaign. The international charity that promotes anti-violence and is represented by the 'knotted gun' has signed up high profile football stars, whose country is taking part, to design their own gun statue that will adorn the Cool Britannia venue in Capetown. Hosting the event at the Ivy was South Africa's captain, Aaron Mokoena who spoke of his dedication to the campaign and showed off his own flamboyant 'gun' statue.

PR Brighton PR Sussex PR London AT LAST! BRIGHTON LEARNS ITS ABC....19.05.2010The city's fame for its celebrity obsessed residents, its respected social history and outstanding popularity isn't in question. What could be conceived as very much in question is its responsibility to open up a serious side and recognise that it's about time the business sector in Sussex took to the stage and was allowed to shine under the spotlight. On Tuesday May 25th at the Brighton Dome, The first annual Acumen Business Convention will deliver a very determined approach to business etiquette. The event is a sell out and is set to be the most prestigious business assembly in the county. Proving that every business has a second chance to survive is the event's highly prominent speaker, Gertald Ratner. After describing the famous Ratner Jeweller's merchandise as 'crap' , he became a national laughing stock and lost an empire but he's in Brighton to inspire the delegates with his own astonishing story about a second chance for empire success. One of Sussex' fastest growing businesses Acumen Business Law is organizing the event which ends on a relaxed note with drinks, canapes and Grand Avenue Music.

HARD ROCK CALLING17.08.2010The under-celebrated talents of modest Brighton artist, Jan Irvine, shot to the front of the London stage at this year's Hard Rock Calling event. Jan, well known for her unique talent to speed-draw the moving body, was chosen by The Hard Rock Cafe organization to perform her skills at this year's music concert in Hyde Park. Over the 3 day event, which attracted over 140,000 music lovers, Jan worked tirelessly in the soaring heat to capture the performers on stage. Hard Rock Calling had a tremendous line-up this year which gave Jan the opportunity to work up close and personal to such iconic personalities as Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, James Morrison, Jamiriquai and many more. Jan said “It was amazing to see these people in the flesh and whose music has been such a big part of my life. It was a privilege to draw them and I just hope I have done them justice.”
The drawings, which were being auctioned to raise funds for the Nordoff-Robbins Music charity, caused quite a stir as the stars themselves started bidding for each others. The delightful Bill Wyman, who was simply lovely to everyone, was the first to bid on a drawing of himself with Micki Free, the Grammy winning Native American Indian who literally rocks the U.S. with his legendary music. James Morrison said he just had to have the drawing of Stevie for himself and insisted on placing the winning bid. A total of over 20 Jan Irvine drawings are expected to raise many thousands of pounds for this fantastic charity.
What now? In addition to the commissions she now has from those performers who didn’t quite bid quick enough for their own portraits, Jan Irvine faces a very heavy workload leading up to her next major assignment as one of the few carefully selected artists at the 2012 Olympics.
