One of my more unusual media relations roles was for TIME Magazine during the Iraqi conflict. It was my job to secure European broadcast interviews with correspondents in Baghdad, Kuwait and New York, as well as securing commentary slots on UK broadcast for members of the UK senior editorial team.
I went on to carry out project work for TIME on their ‘Person of the Year’ and ‘European Newsmaker of the Year’ announcements as well as doing some PR for Fortune Magazine.
Through this assignment I fostered relationships with some of the most important figures in British broadcasting, not to mention making friends with the people who produce my favourite shows on Radio 4.
