class=\"leading-0\">\r\n\r\nLea Graham Entertainment was established in 1990 by Susan Fleet who has been involved with music for much of her life.  Her in-depth knowledge enables Lea Graham Entertainment to choose superb performers and match them with the specific requirements of the discerning client and the very best venues in the South East.\r\n\r\nLea Graham Entertainment is elitist and proud of it.  We may be based in Sussex but our reputation is national.  We specialise in corporate events, weddings, parties and all other occasions where entertainment is top of the bill.  We have built our reputation on a first class personal service – and attention to detail is our watchword.\r\n\r\nWhether you are looking for a dance band, harpist, string quartet, musical cabaret, close-up magic or the big band sound – you call the tune, and we’ll play it.  Our performers are the very best and our business is built on their talent.\r\n\r\nWe have developed close relationships

and hockey ace Chloe Rogers paid a visit to Lewes Old Grammar School this week, to present a prestigious sports scholarship to a Year 8 pupil.\r\n\r\nAnouska Fairhurst, 12, was awarded one of only four grants by sportswear manufacturers Squadkit in January after becoming number one in the UK and fourth in the world for javelin in her age group.\r\n\r\nDespite only taking up the javelin 18 months ago, Anouska competed in 20 competitions nationwide last year and boasts an incredible personal best of 37.37 metres.\r\n\r\nHer success was celebrated on Tuesday in a special school assembly at St Michael’s Church, Lewes, where she was presented with Squadkit clothing specially embroidered with her name.\r\n\r\nOlympian Chloe spoke of her journey to winning bronze at London 2012, which started with seven years of rigorous training at a young age before she was selected to be a part of Team GB.\r\n\r\nIn the afternoon, Anouska and other hockey players from LOGS were given the opportunity to experience Chloe’s professional coaching at the Southdown club. This included tips and tricks to improve their hockey skills, and putting the theory into practice.\r\n\r\nRobyn Stone, Head of Gifted and Talented at LOGS, said: ‘Chloe Rogers was incredibly supportive of Anouska throughout the visit and is going to be a close mentor and friend for her over the next year. I am so pleased that Anouska is being rewarded for her outstanding efforts and we will continue to support and guide her through her sporting career. All of the girls had a fantastic time during the Hockey training session and we look forward to working closely with Chloe in the future.’\r\n\r\nThe special scholarship presentation marks the beginning of a promising year for Anouska, and she has already started an intense training regime ahead of javelin competitions which begin in April.\r\n\r\nAnouska said: \'Meeting Chloe was just unbelievably wonderful, holding her Olympic medal was such an honour - it was so heavy! Her talk was so inspirational and really made us believe that if you work hard you can be good at any sport or anything that you put your mind to. I also love my sports kit so much, thank you Squadkit, I will be wearing this with complete pride!\r\n\r\nI feel so lucky to be in a school that is so supportive and to know that everyone is wishing me the best. All of my teachers have been so kind and it makes me want to do my very best in return\'.\r\n\r\n-- END --\r\n\r\n[gallery columns=\"6\" ids=\"13236,13237,13238,13240,13242,13243\"]','Olympic Ace Inspires School Sports Star','','publish','closed','open','','olympian-ace-inspires-school-sports-star','','','2017-02-23 19:05:09','2017-02-23 19:05:09','',0,'http://www.leagraham.com/?p=13234',0,'post','',0),(13235,3,'2017-02-23 15:10:16','2017-02-23 15:10:16','','170221 DCOOL LewesGrammer-12','Anouska Fairhurst with Chloe Rogers, Olympic hockey player','inherit','closed','closed','','170221-dcool-lewesgrammer-12','','','2017-02-23 19:03:47','2017-02-23 19:03:47','',13234,'http://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/170221-DCOOL-LewesGrammer-12.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(13236,3,'2017-02-23 15:12:20','2017-02-23 15:12:20','','170221 DCOOL LewesGrammer-2','Chloe Rogers speaking to LOGS pupils','inherit','closed','closed','','170221-dcool-lewesgrammer-2','','','2017-02-23 15:15:18','2017-02-23 15:15:18','',13234,'http://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/170221-DCOOL-LewesGrammer-2.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(13237,3,'2017-02-23 15:12:33','2017-02-23 15:12:33','','170221 DCOOL LewesGrammer-7','Chloe Rogers with her bronze medal','inherit','closed','closed','','170221-dcool-lewesgrammer-7','','','2017-02-23 15:15:40','2017-02-23 15:15:40','',13234,'http://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/170221-DCOOL-LewesGrammer-7.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(13238,3,'2017-02-23 15:12:47','2017-02-23 15:12:47','','170221 DCOOL LewesGrammer-10','The packed audience at St Michael\'s Church','inherit','closed','closed','','170221-dcool-lewesgrammer-10','','','2017-02-23 15:15:57','2017-02-23 15:15:57','',13234,'http://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/170221-DCOOL-LewesGrammer-10.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(13239,3,'2017-02-23 15:13:01','2017-02-23 15:13:01','','170221 DCOOL LewesGrammer-11','Anouska and Chloe holding the plaque','inherit','closed','closed','','170221-dcool-lewesgrammer-11','','','2017-02-23 15:16:24','2017-02-23 15:16:24','',13234,'http://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/170221-DCOOL-LewesGrammer-11.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(13240,3,'2017-02-23 15:13:16','2017-02-23 15:13:16','','170221 DCOOL LewesGrammer-13','Chloe Rogers and the LOGS team','inherit','closed','closed','','170221-dcool-lewesgrammer-13','','','2017-02-23 15:16:36','2017-02-23 15:16:36','',13234,'http://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/170221-DCOOL-LewesGrammer-13.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(13241,3,'2017-02-23 15:13:32','2017-02-23 15:13:32','','170221 DCOOL LewesGrammer-14','Chloe Rogers and the LOGS team','inherit','closed','closed','','170221-dcool-lewesgrammer-14','','','2017-02-23 15:16:57','2017-02-23 15:16:57','',13234,'http://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/170221-DCOOL-LewesGrammer-14.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(13242,3,'2017-02-23 15:13:47','2017-02-23 15:13:47','','170221 DCOOL LewesGrammer-17','Chloe giving hockey instructions at the Southdown Club','inherit','closed','closed','','170221-dcool-lewesgrammer-17','','','2017-02-23 15:17:40','2017-02-23 15:17:40','',13234,'http://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/170221-DCOOL-LewesGrammer-17.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(13243,3,'2017-02-23 15:14:02','2017-02-23 15:14:02','','170221 DCOOL LewesGrammer-19','Chloe Rogers giving expert hockey tips','inherit','closed','closed','','170221-dcool-lewesgrammer-19','','','2017-02-23 15:18:04','2017-02-23 15:18:04','',13234,'http://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/170221-DCOOL-LewesGrammer-19.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(13244,3,'2017-02-23 15:19:13','2017-02-23 15:19:13','<h1>OLYMPIC ACE INSPIRES SCHOOL SPORTS STAR</h1>\r\nOlympic hockey ace Chloe Rogers paid a visit to Lewes Old Grammar School this week, to present a prestigious sports scholarship to a Year 8 pupil.\r\n\r\nAnouska Fairhurst, 12, was awarded one of only four grants by sportswear manufacturers Squadkit in January after becoming number one in the UK and fourth in the world for javelin in her age group.\r\n\r\nDespite only taking up the javelin 18 months ago, Anouska competed in 20 competitions nationwide last year and boasts an incredible personal best of 37.37 metres.\r\n\r\nHer success was celebrated on Tuesday in a special school assembly at St Michael’s Church, Lewes, where she was presented with Squadkit clothing specially embroidered with her name.\r\n\r\nOlympian Chloe spoke of her journey to winning bronze at London 2012, which started with seven years of rigorous training at a young age before she was selected to be a part of Team GB.\r\n\r\nIn the afternoon, Anouska and other hockey players from LOGS were given the opportunity to experience Chloe’s professional coaching at the Southdown club.

After months of promotion and endless debating in the media, the Oscar nominees will step on to that famous red carpet for the 89<sup>th</sup> Academy Awards, ready to take their place in movie history… or go home empty-handed.\r\n\r\nEither way, the trip will have been worth it because there’s more than history and ego at stake on Sunday night. According to IBISWorld analysis, whoever takes home the Best Male Actor statuette will enjoy a salary hike of up to $3.9 million for their next film. Likewise, experts forecast a bump of about $13.8 million in box office takings for the Best Picture winner. Even the also-rans can expect to see a massive hike in earnings and reputation.\r\n\r\nBut that’s La La Land… what’s it got to do with the real world? For those of us running or working in smaller businesses, the Oscars are a useful reminder that there are numerous soft and hard benefits to entering and/or winning awards.\r\n\r\nThey might not have the same instant recognition (and don’t expect a $200,000 nominee gift bag, including personalised M&amp;Ms), but business awards represent a fantastic opportunity to boost business and get your name out there.\r\n\r\nSo as the Hollywood awards season comes to a close, here are our top four reasons why you should start entering competitions in 2017:\r\n\r\n<strong>1. </strong><strong>Marketing and publicity</strong>\r\n\r\nIf there’s one thing that attracts media interest, it is cold, hard facts (yes, really!). Winning, or even being nominated for, an award is a great way of gaining some credibility in your industry by giving you an opportunity to talk about the numbers – such as evidence of growth and job creation.\r\n\r\nEveryone loves a gong. The media always covers awards ceremonies – in fact, media organisations sponsor many of them – so having your business involved is a shoe-in for getting its name out there in countless articles, press releases and in the programme. Best of all, you can tweet and post all the way to awards night and for several days afterwards.\r\n\r\nIn short, there are very few methods which are as effective at elevating a business’s profile as awards ceremonies. Better yet, most are either free or fairly cheap to enter.\r\n\r\n<strong> 2. </strong><strong>Boosting your staff morale</strong>\r\n\r\nWinning an award creates a great feel good factor. Ceremonies offer a chance to celebrate, to team build, and to recognise and validate staff achievements. Moreover, being recognised for business excellence will make your company more attractive to job hunters.\r\n\r\n<strong> 3. </strong><strong>Focusing and benchmarking</strong>\r\n\r\nThe application process for an award might seem dreary or intense, but it also offers an opportunity to review business and personal achievements objectively. If your business is nominated, it also allows a chance to scope out the competition.\r\n\r\nThis also means that unsuccessful entries don’t go to waste – learning that there is room to improve is often a great jumping off point to generate new success.\r\n<ol start=\"4\">\r\n 	<li><strong>Expansion and business strategy</strong></li>\r\n</ol>\r\nIn the UK alone, there are hundreds of potential awards to win for every conceivable element of business.\r\n\r\nFocusing on sector-specific initiatives can help to position a business as expert in a certain field, and potentially expand clientele within the sector.\r\n\r\nIf CSR is a priority, entering awards for charity achievements or community involvement is a great way to amplify a business’s commitment to good causes.\r\n\r\n<strong>Summary</strong>\r\n\r\nEntering awards can often be a daunting prospect, and that’s why we offer a 25 page database of awards in the South East.

For those of us running or working in smaller businesses, the Oscars are a useful reminder that there are numerous soft and hard benefits to entering and/or winning awards.\r\n\r\nThey might not have the same instant recognition (and don’t expect a $200,000 nominee gift bag, including personalised M&amp;Ms), but business awards represent a fantastic opportunity to boost business and get your name out there.\r\n\r\nSo as the Hollywood awards season comes to a close, here are our top four reasons why you should start entering competitions in 2017:\r\n\r\n<strong>1. </strong><strong>Marketing and publicity</strong>\r\n\r\nIf there’s one thing that attracts media interest, it is cold, hard facts (yes, really!). Winning, or even being nominated for, an award is a great way of gaining some credibility in your industry by giving you an opportunity to talk about the numbers – such as evidence of growth and job creation.\r\n\r\nEveryone loves a gong. The media always covers awards ceremonies – in fact, media organisations sponsor many of them – so having your business involved is a shoe-in for getting its name out there in countless articles, press releases and in the programme. Best of all, you can tweet and post all the way to awards night and for several days afterwards.\r\n\r\nIn short, there are very few methods which are as effective at elevating a business’s profile as awards ceremonies. Better yet, most are either free or fairly cheap to enter.\r\n\r\n<strong> 2. </strong><strong>Boosting your staff morale</strong>\r\n\r\nWinning an award creates a great feel good factor. Ceremonies offer a chance to celebrate, to team build, and to recognise and validate staff achievements. Moreover, being recognised for business excellence will make your company more attractive to job hunters.\r\n\r\n<strong> 3. </strong><strong>Focusing and benchmarking</strong>\r\n\r\nThe application process for an award might seem dreary or intense, but it also offers an opportunity to review business and personal achievements objectively. If your business is nominated, it also allows a chance to scope out the competition.\r\n\r\nThis also means that unsuccessful entries don’t go to waste – learning that there is room to improve is often a great jumping off point to generate new success.\r\n<ol start=\"4\">\r\n 	<li><strong>Expansion and business strategy</strong></li>\r\n</ol>\r\nIn the UK alone, there are hundreds of potential awards to win for every conceivable element of business.\r\n\r\nFocusing on sector-specific initiatives can help to position a business as expert in a certain field, and potentially expand clientele within the sector.\r\n\r\nIf CSR is a priority, entering awards for charity achievements or community involvement is a great way to amplify a business’s commitment to good causes.\r\n\r\nEntering awards can often be a daunting prospect, and that’s why we offer a 25 page database of awards in the South East.

This included tips and tricks to improve their hockey skills, and putting the theory into practice.\r\n\r\nRobyn Stone, Head of Gifted and Talented at LOGS, said: ‘Chloe Rogers was incredibly supportive of Anouska throughout the visit and is going to be a close mentor and friend for her over the next year. I am so pleased that Anouska is being rewarded for her outstanding efforts and we will continue to support and guide her through her sporting career. All of the girls had a fantastic time during the Hockey training session and we look forward to working closely with Chloe in the future.’\r\n\r\nThe special scholarship presentation marks the beginning of a promising year for Anouska, and she has already started an intense training regime ahead of javelin competitions which begin in April.\r\n\r\nAnouska said: \'Meeting Chloe was just unbelievably wonderful, holding her Olympic medal was such an honour - it was so heavy! Her talk was so inspirational and really made us believe that if you work hard you can be good at any sport or anything that you put your mind to. I also love my sports kit so much, thank you Squadkit, I will be wearing this with complete pride!\r\n\r\nI feel so lucky to be in a school that is so supportive and to know that everyone is wishing me the best. All of my teachers have been so kind and it makes me want to do my very best in return\'.\r\n\r\n-- END --\r\n\r\n[gallery columns=\"6\" ids=\"13236,13237,13238,13240,13242,13243\"]','Olympic Ace Inspires School Sports Star','','inherit','closed','closed','','13234-revision-v1','','','2017-02-23 19:05:09','2017-02-23 19:05:09','',13234,'http://www.leagraham.com/13234-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(13260,8,'2017-02-24 11:39:21','2017-02-24 11:39:21','<h1>Funding Alert: w/c 27/02/17</h1>\r\nTo view the full details of any news article, simply click on its title.\r\n\r\nCoast to Capital has a number of ongoing funding, grant and loan opportunities available to private sector and public sector organisations to support business growth in Croydon, East Surrey, Gatwick Diamond, Brighton &amp; Hove, Lewes and West Sussex.\r\nhttp://www.coast2capital.org.uk/funding-and-grants/\r\n\r\n23/02/2017: Childcare Business Grants Scheme Re-opens for New Childminders in England\r\n<a href=\"http://www.idoxopen4business.co.uk/eastridingbusiness/Launch/News/dd4920c2f335460fa1a9e9e74a17816a/GRUKBP3!N62723\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=http://www.idoxopen4business.co.uk/eastridingbusiness/Launch/News/dd4920c2f335460fa1a9e9e74a17816a/GRUKBP3!N62723&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1488016050915000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFVlpmC0jlJohyG6-EAkjLwe2yDzA\">http://www.idoxopen4business.<wbr />co.uk/eastridingbusiness/<wbr />Launch/News/<wbr />dd4920c2f335460fa1a9e9e74a1781<wbr />6a/GRUKBP3!N62723</a>\r\n\r\n23/02/2017: DepicT!

It took 10 years before she realised that the physical discomfort and rollercoaster emotions she’d been experiencing were all related to symptoms of the menopause. But by then it had cost her a job she loved and very nearly her marriage.\n\nEight million women will be putting a brave face on their feelings this festive season, just as Kathryn did.\n\n“Boxing Day and New Year’s Day will be the worst,” she says. “That’s when you’re really feeling pretty awful about yourself, but for the most part we’ll suffer in silence, trying to hide it from friends, family and colleagues.”\n\nWhich is why she’s making a resolution to change the way we talk about the menopause in 2017, starting with a special event in January.\n\nMaking Sense of Menopause at Stanhill Court Hotel at Charlwood near Gatwick, will be led by a panel of female experts and is an opportunity for women to discuss and learn from their shared experience of the menopause. But it’s just the start.\n\n“We need a menopause revolution,” says Kathryn, who went through ‘10 years of hell’, convinced she was suffering a mental breakdown before discovering that her ‘crazy hormones’ were to blame. “Nobody’s telling women what they need to know – we need to make it headline news, not a sideshow.”\n\nKathryn’s experience led her to set up a support and advice service called Simply Hormones in 2005, which has agitated for better information on menopause to be made more widely available, not just to women, but also to their partners, families and employers. This year saw it launch the first training service in the UK aimed at making managers aware of the occupational health issues facing women who are coping with menopausal symptoms.\n\n“There are many things employers can do to help,” says Kathryn. “Simple things, like making sure there is sufficient ventilation – be it a fan on the desk or access to windows that open – to alleviate the hot flushes many women suffer; perhaps rethinking the design of uniforms that can become suffocatingly hot during the menopause; and taking a more flexible attitude to working hours and additional toilet breaks. These are all things that could help improve the lives of millions of working women.”\n\nThis month, the Royal College of Nursing became the latest organisation to issue guidance on adapting workplace policies to take account of the many thousands of women who hit the menopause while employed in health and social care. The RCN said it would like to see all employers recognising it as an equality and occupational health issue.\n\n“We are making progress,” says Kathryn. “But there is still a long way to go and the more women understand what is happening to them, the more empowered they are to ask for help and support, be it from their employer, partner or GP. That’s what the Making Sense of Menopause event is all about. Sharing experience and making sure no one has to go through the hell I did.”\n\nTo book a place at the Making Sense of Menopause Day at Stanhill Court Hotel near Gatwick on January 21, go to simplyhormones.com\n\n...end...\n\n&nbsp;\n\n[gallery columns=\"6\" ids=\"12968\"]','Menopause \'revolution\' starts here','','inherit','closed','closed','','13179-autosave-v1','','','2017-02-28 15:33:57','2017-02-28 15:33:57','',13179,'http://www.leagraham.com/13179-autosave-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(13277,7,'2017-02-28 15:34:02','2017-02-28 15:34:02','<h1>Menopause \'revolution\' starts here</h1>\r\nKathryn Colas spent too many Christmas and New Year holidays feeling hot, tired, moody and overweight – and it wasn’t down to one too many Bucks Fizz’ and mince pies.

Looking frantically around at colleagues knowing that we are all hoping for inspiration to strike, knowing we need to focus and fast. My brain, like theirs, always had other ideas and paced skittishly from topic to topic, racing between excitement at the goal and fear at the size of the task and timescales ahead.

I have always felt more joyful and positive after a good walk, standing on top of a hill just climbed, shouting woo hoo at the magnificence laid out before me or crying into the wind, striding alongside great friends halving our problems by sharing. It had never occurred to me that this same feeling of rejuvenation could be applied to my corporate life.

It’s a really hard call, but I feel compelled to write a personal tribute to a very dear friend.\r\n\r\nKnown as The Forces Sweetheart, the much-loved Dame Vera Lynn turns 100 in a few days time. She is an iconic figure who played such a crucial role of raising not only the nation’s, but also the commonwealth’s, spirits in the darkest days of World War Two. More importantly, to her mind, she decided to visit some of the most dangerous conflict areas to perform to her beloved ‘boys’ and make them realise they were not forgotten. She then went on to enjoy a most illustrious music career with performances on stage and screen all over the world. She has had more ‘firsts’ that any other living artist in history and next week, that’s likely to be added to with perhaps another chart-topping album...\r\n\r\nHer story is the stuff of legend but what of the real DV (Dame Vera), as she is affectionately called by me and a number of family friends. We first met at a Christmas party in 1977 at her next door neighbour’s house and I must confess I didn’t appreciate just how famous she was or how remarkable her career had been.\r\n\r\nThe years passed by and I occasionally saw DV at local charity functions and concerts – we only live a couple of miles apart. Then, through my entertainment agency, I was regularly asked for celebrity speakers for ladies’ luncheons at country house hotels, and a mutual friend suggested I call her to see if she’d be interested, especially if the work could benefit her charity. Following a phone call, I was invited to have afternoon tea with DV. What I assumed would be an hour of pleasant conversation turned into five hours of highly entertaining chit chat and lots of laughter. Thus began a very special friendship which has lasted for more than twenty years.\r\n\r\nDV has a wonderful sense of humour and a deliciously infectious laugh. She is highly intelligent and knowledgeable about world affairs. She is kind, caring and affectionate, loves animals and enjoys a little glass of red wine at 6pm with the occasional packet of crisps. Her favourite TV programmes are Murder She Wrote, Father Brown and Where the Heart Is.\r\n\r\nWe’ve had some fabulous evenings together at the theatre, concerts, parties and relaxed meals at our homes. Whenever fish pie was on our supper menu, we’d give DV a quick call, and she’d come and join us. On one occasion she phoned on a Sunday morning for a quick catch up. I explained I was busy cooking as we had some of the neighbours coming over for lunch and I asked if she wanted to join us. The look of surprise on our new neighbours’ faces when they saw the legendary Dame Vera Lynn sitting on our sofa was something I’ll never forget.\r\n\r\nOver the years, we’ve had some great car journeys together where we’ve sung songs interspersed with gales of laughter. She has encouraged my own singing (I’m a semi-pro) and given me wonderful opportunities to perform with my choir at prestigious London venues. Perhaps that’s the bond which cements our friendship...\r\n\r\nI’ve also been privileged to get to know DV’s family and old friends quite well over the years and there are some wonderful personal stories which perfectly illustrate the person behind that unique voice which has perfect diction and a tone that can melt hearts.\r\n\r\nAn old school friend of her daughter, Virginia, once told me that DV’s cakes were the best she’d ever tasted and so light they almost floated. She clearly remembers her cooking skills and was quite surprised that a famous singer was equally as adept at baking as performing on the stage of the London Palladium. She’s a good gardener too, and her paintings are worthy of her own exhibition.\r\n\r\nDV’s charity work is perhaps not as well known as her stage persona but she has been a tireless campaigner for numerous causes – British Legion, SSAFA, Cancer charities, Cerebral Palsy, and Music in Hospitals, to name but a few. The Children’s Charity which bears her name, and which is located near to her home in West Sussex, is especially close to her heart.\r\n\r\nAs DV approaches her centenary, so too is the Post Office’s workload is increasing – in Sussex especially, with the volume of letters and birthday cards arriving at both her home and the charity. Famous names from the world of show business, politicians and diplomats, servicemen and women, and their families from all around the globe, children from every continent - people from every walk of life and age are writing to wish the one and only Dame Vera Lynn Happy Birthday.\r\n\r\nIn the meantime, the release of the new album takes place on Friday followed the next day by a star-studded concert charting the story of her life at The London Palladium, which is being staged by her family as a tribute. Luminaries from the world of entertainment were queuing up to perform and it’s bound to be an evening we’ll never forget.\r\n\r\nOn DV’s actual birthday, hundreds of pupils from her old school in East Ham will be singing ‘Happy Birthday’ and performing a medley of her famous songs via a live link to her sitting room. I’m sure nothing will give her more pleasure as she watches with her devoted daughter and son-in-law. In other parts of the world, including New Zealand, Australia, the USA, The Netherlands and Finland, people will be gathering to celebrate our Forces’ Sweetheart’s 100th birthday as they play her enduring songs.\r\n\r\nGod Bless you Dame Vera from your very proud friend and PA, Susan.','\"My friend, the real Dame Vera Lynn\": An insight into her life by her PA and proud friend as she turns 100','','publish','closed','open','','100th-dame-vera-lynn','','','2017-03-20 13:34:51','2017-03-20 13:34:51','',0,'http://www.leagraham.com/?p=13460',0,'post','',0),(13461,7,'2017-03-14 12:40:33','2017-03-14 12:40:33','','Collage','Happy memories of Dame Vera over the years','inherit','closed','closed','','collage','','','2017-03-14 12:42:16','2017-03-14 12:42:16','',13460,'http://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Collage.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(13462,7,'2017-03-14 12:44:54','2017-03-14 12:44:54','','','Happy Memories with Dame Vera','inherit','closed','closed','','collage2','','','2017-03-14 12:45:41','2017-03-14 12:45:41','',13460,'http://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Collage2.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(13463,7,'2017-03-14 12:45:55','2017-03-14 12:45:55','<h1>Happy 100th Dame Vera</h1>\r\n\r\nWhat can you say about a woman who is loved the world over by people of all ages but also is the most humble person I’ve ever met?

It is their third collaboration as a director-screenwriter team.\r\n\r\nThe short fantasy film tells the story of Odilo Fabian, an optimist on the outskirts of a town called Doubt, who uses wishes and nature to grow himself a real chance at love.\r\n\r\n“We were thrilled to welcome Kacey and Issy to the film,” said Matthew, an award-winning director at the helm of the project. “Issy has a talent well beyond her years and is incredibly professional.”\r\n\r\nThe production marks Isabelle’s third collaboration with the Rowney brothers, after she won Best Under 18 Actor at LA Independent Film Festival for her role in Matthew’s film <em>Superboy: Son of Tomorrow</em>.\r\n\r\nMatthew added: “It’s also been brilliant getting to know Kacey – we’ve been fans of her work for a long time and her performance in the film is more than we could have hoped for.” Kacey is best known for her appearances as Little Mo in <em>EastEnders, </em>Cathy in <em>Grantchester</em> and Miss Gullet in <em>The</em> <em>Worst Witch. </em>\r\n\r\nShooting took place in Haywards Heath’s Borde Hill Garden<em>, </em>which isn’t due to re-open to the public until April. The brothers had to work some movie magic to create a summertime setting.\r\n\r\nMichael Rowney, who wrote the film, said: “There’s a scene in the script where Kacey and Issy pick dandelions… a hard task considering they’re not in season yet! Our team fought the odds to make the scenes work - even when the heavens opened.

It is their third collaboration as a director-screenwriter team.\r\n\r\nThe short fantasy film tells the story of Odilo Fabian, an optimist on the outskirts of a town called Doubt, who uses wishes and nature to grow himself a real chance at love.\r\n\r\n“We were thrilled to welcome Kacey and Issy to the film,” said Matthew, an award-winning director at the helm of the project. “Issy has a talent well beyond her years and is incredibly professional.”\r\n\r\nThe production marks Isabelle’s third collaboration with the Rowney brothers, after she won Best Under 18 Actor at LA Independent Film Festival for her role in Matthew’s film <em>Superboy: Son of Tomorrow</em>.\r\n\r\nMatthew added: “It’s also been brilliant getting to know Kacey – we’ve been fans of her work for a long time and her performance in the film is more than we could have hoped for.” Kacey is best known for her appearances as Little Mo in <em>EastEnders, </em>Cathy in <em>Grantchester</em> and Miss Gullet in <em>The</em> <em>Worst Witch. </em>\r\n\r\nShooting took place in Haywards Heath’s Borde Hill Garden<em>, </em>which isn’t due to re-open to the public until April. The brothers had to work some movie magic to create a summertime setting.\r\n\r\nMichael Rowney, who wrote the film, said: “There’s a scene in the script where Kacey and Issy pick dandelions… a hard task considering they’re not in season yet! Our team fought the odds to make the scenes work - even when the heavens opened. It’s really paid off, and the dailies we’ve been reviewing have put smiles on our faces.”\r\n\r\nPre-production for <em>Odilo Fabian</em> began in December of last year. Louisa Connolly-Burnham (<em>Wolfblood) </em>will be joining the cast as Alice, with further cast announcements due to follow shortly.\r\n\r\nTo see behind-the-scenes images and keep up-to-date with the production’s progress, follow Matthew (@mjrowney) and Michael (@michaelrowney/RowneyMichael) on Instagram and Twitter.\r\n\r\n-- end --                        14 March 2017\r\n\r\n[gallery columns=\"6\" ids=\"13466,13467,13468,13469\"]','All-star cast announced for Sussex-based fantasy film','','inherit','closed','closed','','13464-revision-v1','','','2017-03-14 13:38:59','2017-03-14 13:38:59','',13464,'http://www.leagraham.com/13464-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(13471,3,'2017-03-15 11:16:25','2017-03-15 11:16:25','[vc_row full_width=\"stretch_row\" css=\".vc_custom_1488373673033{background-color: #ecebe7 !important;}\"][vc_column width=\"1/2\"][vc_column_text]\n<h2>Clients</h2>\nSome of our Corporate Clients (past and present) include:[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\"1/4\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1001\" src=\"https://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Chloe-the-Cat.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1832\" height=\"1832\" />Ashdown Park Hotel[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1/4\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1001\" src=\"https://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Chloe-the-Cat.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1832\" height=\"1832\" />Bailiffscourt Hotel[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1/4\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1001\" src=\"https://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Chloe-the-Cat.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1832\" height=\"1832\" />Gravetye Manor[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1/4\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1001\" src=\"https://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Chloe-the-Cat.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1832\" height=\"1832\" />Ockenden Manor[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\"1/4\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1001\" src=\"https://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Chloe-the-Cat.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1832\" height=\"1832\" />South Lodge Hotel[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1/4\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1001\" src=\"https://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Chloe-the-Cat.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1832\" height=\"1832\" />South of England Centre[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1/4\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1001\" src=\"https://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Chloe-the-Cat.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1832\" height=\"1832\" />Wadhurst Castle[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]','Entertainment -

Looking frantically around at colleagues knowing that we are all hoping for inspiration to strike, knowing we need to focus and fast. My brain, like theirs, always had other ideas and paced skittishly from topic to topic, racing between excitement at the goal and fear at the size of the task and timescales ahead. At this point, doubt usually crept into the room and creativity flew out of the window. Now if faced with that scenario I would stand up, grab my colleagues, walk away from the uninspiring and get outside, knowing we will return invigorated, excited and with a very cunning plan.\r\n\r\nWho doesn’t love fresh air? I have always felt more joyful and positive after a good walk, standing on top of a hill just climbed, shouting woo hoo at the magnificence laid out before me or crying into the wind, striding alongside great friends halving our problems by sharing. It had never occurred to me that this same feeling of rejuvenation could be applied to my corporate life. That is until my CEO arrived from Silicone Valley to chat through our five-year plan and he bizarrely insisted on doing this on foot, saying ‘come on, let’s walk the talk!’\r\n\r\nWe wandered the streets of London side by side, coffees in hand, mobiles and notepads back in the office, and faced the future together. We discussed and questioned our goals and aspirations for the business and personally and for the first time understood each other on many levels. Assumptions previously made about each other were discarded and we returned focused and energised with greater respect for each other and a truly workable plan, which was a joy to implement over the next few months. This particular walking and talking approach brought new meaning to a jaded corporate phrase.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13391\" src=\"https://www.leagraham.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/debbieblog2-darren.png\" alt=\"Darren is \'blown away\' by the view!\" width=\"956\" height=\"482\" />\r\n<blockquote><strong>I now guide teambuilding groups of staff and executives over the South Downs, the theory being that if I have planned the route and am leading, all they need to do is walk together and be inspired.</strong></blockquote>\r\nI am there on those occasions to remove barriers and unnecessary distractions.\r\n\r\nRecently, I was leading a group of eight executives, who, after a busy couple of days filled with activities and new experiences, had paired up for the final walk. They had set objectives together over breakfast. After a steady climb up a narrow, overgrown chalk path we broke out onto the Downs and the wind (or the \'spirit of the Downs\' as we like to call it) did its best to knock them off their feet, take their breath away, split them up, but they dug deep, stayed together and kept walking and even laughing at what was being thrown at them. There were a few woo hoos as they turned into human kites but there were a number of light bulb moments as they looked at situations in new ways. Most importantly, they laughed and we all know that ‘laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face’ (that\'s Victor Hugo for you).\r\n\r\nPhilosophers have always known the benefits of creative thinking and walking, Henry David Thoreau wrote ‘methinks that the moment my legs begin to move, my thoughts begin to flow’. Jean Jacques Rousseau wrote ‘I can only meditate when I am walking. When I stop, I cease to think, my mind works only with my legs’. A Huffington Post article posed the thought that just maybe the connection between our minds and legs is that one of them is going to wander whatever you do and that if you get up and walk, your mind will slow down and focus.\r\n\r\nCoaching while walking may be seen by some as the current on-trend coaching concept but Aristotle regularly taught while walking.\r\n<blockquote><strong>To my mind, if walking and coaching worked for possibly the most influential educational thinker of all time it should definitely be explored as a way of getting the most out of employee meetings and feature in team-building days and corporate planning events</strong></blockquote>\r\nScience has backed up philosophical thought. A study in the European Journal of Developmental Psychology said: \"We conclude that the interaction of walking and cognitive performance is influenced by sharing resources between two tasks...and that performance improvements in cognition may be caused by exercise-induced activation of resources. Studies also showed that exercise leads to increased executive control or planning and focus, so walking is not only beneficial to creative thinking but enables your brain to focus on planning and implementation.\"\r\n\r\nIn other words, ‘It is solved by walking’ and the South Downs provide a wide range of beautiful and inspirational thinking spaces, far from the routine and demands of daily workloads. Why not try it and breathe new life into your meetings? If you need help, a guide or inspiration, please do get in touch.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<em>Debbie Greenfield has a background in sales, marketing and digital media, working for major corporates in the City of London.

It’s a really hard call, but I feel compelled to write a personal tribute to a very dear friend.\n\nKnown as The Forces Sweetheart, the much-loved Dame Vera Lynn turns 100 in a few days time. She is an iconic figure who played such a crucial role of raising not only the nation’s, but also the commonwealth’s, spirits in the darkest days of World War Two. More importantly, to her mind, she decided to visit some of the most dangerous conflict areas to perform to her beloved ‘boys’ and make them realise they were not forgotten. She then went on to enjoy a most illustrious music career with performances on stage and screen all over the world. She has had more ‘firsts’ that any other living artist in history and next week, that’s likely to be added to with perhaps another chart-topping album...\n\nHer story is the stuff of legend but what of the real DV (Dame Vera), as she is affectionately called by me and a number of family friends. We first met at a Christmas party in 1977 at her next door neighbour’s house and I must confess I didn’t appreciate just how famous she was or how remarkable her career had been.\n\nThe years passed by and I occasionally saw DV at local charity functions and concerts – we only live a couple of miles apart. Then, through my entertainment agency, I was regularly asked for celebrity speakers for ladies’ luncheons at country house hotels, and a mutual friend suggested I call her to see if she’d be interested, especially if the work could benefit her charity. Following a phone call, I was invited to have afternoon tea with DV. What I assumed would be an hour of pleasant conversation turned into five hours of highly entertaining chit chat and lots of laughter. Thus began a very special friendship which has lasted for more than twenty years.\n\nDV has a wonderful sense of humour and a deliciously infectious laugh. She is highly intelligent and knowledgeable about world affairs. She is kind, caring and affectionate, loves animals and enjoys a little glass of red wine at 6pm with the occasional packet of crisps. Her favourite TV programmes are Murder She Wrote, Father Brown and Where the Heart Is.\n\nWe’ve had some fabulous evenings together at the theatre, concerts, parties and relaxed meals at our homes. Whenever fish pie was on our supper menu, we’d give DV a quick call, and she’d come and join us. On one occasion she phoned on a Sunday morning for a quick catch up. I explained I was busy cooking as we had some of the neighbours coming over for lunch and I asked if she wanted to join us. The look of surprise on our new neighbours’ faces when they saw the legendary Dame Vera Lynn sitting on our sofa was something I’ll never forget.\n\nOver the years, we’ve had some great car journeys together where we’ve sung songs interspersed with gales of laughter. She has encouraged my own singing (I’m a semi-pro) and given me wonderful opportunities to perform with my choir at prestigious London venues. Perhaps that’s the bond which cements our friendship...\n\nI’ve also been privileged to get to know DV’s family and old friends quite well over the years and there are some wonderful personal stories which perfectly illustrate the person behind that unique voice which has perfect diction and a tone that can melt hearts.\n\nAn old school friend of her daughter, Virginia, once told me that DV’s cakes were the best she’d ever tasted and so light they almost floated. She clearly remembers her cooking skills and was quite surprised that a famous singer was equally as adept at baking as performing on the stage of the London Palladium. She’s a good gardener too, and her paintings are worthy of her own exhibition.\n\nDV’s charity work is perhaps not as well known as her stage persona but she has been a tireless campaigner for numerous causes – British Legion, SSAFA, Cancer charities, Cerebral Palsy, and Music in Hospitals, to name but a few. The Children’s Charity which bears her name, and which is located near to her home in West Sussex, is especially close to her heart.\n\nAs DV approaches her centenary, so too is the Post Office’s workload is increasing – in Sussex especially, with the volume of letters and birthday cards arriving at both her home and the charity. Famous names from the world of show business, politicians and diplomats, servicemen and women, and their families from all around the globe, children from every continent - people from every walk of life and age are writing to wish the one and only Dame Vera Lynn Happy Birthday.\n\nIn the meantime, the release of the new album takes place on Friday followed the next day by a star-studded concert charting the story of her life at The London Palladium, which is being staged by her family as a tribute. Luminaries from the world of entertainment were queuing up to perform and it’s bound to be an evening we’ll never forget.\n\nOn DV’s actual birthday, hundreds of pupils from her old school in East Ham will be singing ‘Happy Birthday’ and performing a medley of her famous songs via a live link to her sitting room. I’m sure nothing will give her more pleasure as she watches with her devoted daughter and son-in-law. In other parts of the world, including New Zealand, Australia, the USA, The Netherlands and Finland, people will be gathering to celebrate our Forces’ Sweetheart’s 100th birthday as they play her enduring songs.\n\nGod Bless you Dame Vera from your very proud friend and PA, Susan.','Happy 100th Dame Vera Lynn','','inherit','closed','closed','','13460-autosave-v1','','','2017-03-17 12:14:17','2017-03-17 12:14:17','',13460,'http://www.leagraham.com/13460-autosave-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(13504,3,'2017-03-17 12:15:33','2017-03-17 12:15:33','<h1>Happy 100th Dame Vera</h1>\r\nWhat can you say about a woman who is loved the world over by people of all ages but also is the most humble person I’ve ever met?

It’s a really hard call, but I feel compelled to write a personal tribute to a very dear friend.\r\n\r\nKnown as The Forces Sweetheart, the much-loved Dame Vera Lynn turns 100 in a few days time. She is an iconic figure who played such a crucial role of raising not only the nation’s, but also the commonwealth’s, spirits in the darkest days of World War Two. More importantly, to her mind, she decided to visit some of the most dangerous conflict areas to perform to her beloved ‘boys’ and make them realise they were not forgotten. She then went on to enjoy a most illustrious music career with performances on stage and screen all over the world. She has had more ‘firsts’ that any other living artist in history and next week, that’s likely to be added to with perhaps another chart-topping album...\r\n\r\nHer story is the stuff of legend but what of the real DV (Dame Vera), as she is affectionately called by me and a number of family friends. We first met at a Christmas party in 1977 at her next door neighbour’s house and I must confess I didn’t appreciate just how famous she was or how remarkable her career had been.\r\n\r\nThe years passed by and I occasionally saw DV at local charity functions and concerts – we only live a couple of miles apart. Then, through my entertainment agency, I was regularly asked for celebrity speakers for ladies’ luncheons at country house hotels, and a mutual friend suggested I call her to see if she’d be interested, especially if the work could benefit her charity. Following a phone call, I was invited to have afternoon tea with DV. What I assumed would be an hour of pleasant conversation turned into five hours of highly entertaining chit chat and lots of laughter. Thus began a very special friendship which has lasted for more than twenty years.\r\n\r\nDV has a wonderful sense of humour and a deliciously infectious laugh. She is highly intelligent and knowledgeable about world affairs. She is kind, caring and affectionate, loves animals and enjoys a little glass of red wine at 6pm with the occasional packet of crisps. Her favourite TV programmes are Murder She Wrote, Father Brown and Where the Heart Is.\r\n\r\nWe’ve had some fabulous evenings together at the theatre, concerts, parties and relaxed meals at our homes. Whenever fish pie was on our supper menu, we’d give DV a quick call, and she’d come and join us. On one occasion she phoned on a Sunday morning for a quick catch up. I explained I was busy cooking as we had some of the neighbours coming over for lunch and I asked if she wanted to join us. The look of surprise on our new neighbours’ faces when they saw the legendary Dame Vera Lynn sitting on our sofa was something I’ll never forget.\r\n\r\nOver the years, we’ve had some great car journeys together where we’ve sung songs interspersed with gales of laughter. She has encouraged my own singing (I’m a semi-pro) and given me wonderful opportunities to perform with my choir at prestigious London venues. Perhaps that’s the bond which cements our friendship...\r\n\r\nI’ve also been privileged to get to know DV’s family and old friends quite well over the years and there are some wonderful personal stories which perfectly illustrate the person behind that unique voice which has perfect diction and a tone that can melt hearts.\r\n\r\nAn old school friend of her daughter, Virginia, once told me that DV’s cakes were the best she’d ever tasted and so light they almost floated. She clearly remembers her cooking skills and was quite surprised that a famous singer was equally as adept at baking as performing on the stage of the London Palladium. She’s a good gardener too, and her paintings are worthy of her own exhibition.\r\n\r\nDV’s charity work is perhaps not as well known as her stage persona but she has been a tireless campaigner for numerous causes – British Legion, SSAFA, Cancer charities, Cerebral Palsy, and Music in Hospitals, to name but a few. The Children’s Charity which bears her name, and which is located near to her home in West Sussex, is especially close to her heart.\r\n\r\nAs DV approaches her centenary, so too is the Post Office’s workload is increasing – in Sussex especially, with the volume of letters and birthday cards arriving at both her home and the charity. Famous names from the world of show business, politicians and diplomats, servicemen and women, and their families from all around the globe, children from every continent - people from every walk of life and age are writing to wish the one and only Dame Vera Lynn Happy Birthday.\r\n\r\nIn the meantime, the release of the new album takes place on Friday followed the next day by a star-studded concert charting the story of her life at The London Palladium, which is being staged by her family as a tribute. Luminaries from the world of entertainment were queuing up to perform and it’s bound to be an evening we’ll never forget.\r\n\r\nOn DV’s actual birthday, hundreds of pupils from her old school in East Ham will be singing ‘Happy Birthday’ and performing a medley of her famous songs via a live link to her sitting room. I’m sure nothing will give her more pleasure as she watches with her devoted daughter and son-in-law.

Think again! The distinction between these two seemingly innocent words is vital to how you do business. Surprised? Well, here\'s why...\r\n<h2><strong>The Definitions</strong></h2>\r\nAdvertising is best defined as a marketing and promotional tool. Money changes hands in order for a company or product to convey a message to their intended audience. Publicity, on the other hand, is at no extra cost besides the potential initial cost of a press release. The company issues news, information and images to the press and thereby filter through to a publication’s readership.\r\n\r\nWith advertising, the company or product are in control of their message and where it appears. With publicity, the media are at liberty to pick and choose what information they do or don\'t use, how it’s spun, and how far it spreads. While that sounds risky, that means publicity can explode and spread everywhere. Advertising will always remain more contained.\r\n\r\nFor example, if a company issues a press release to the local media we would class it as <em><u>publicity.</u> </em>If, however, the same company paid for a full page in a magazine and printed their own story on it, we would class it as <em><u>advertising.</u></em>\r\n\r\nNow that we\'ve established the difference between the two, we can try to answer the question on the tip of everyone’s tongue. Which is better?\r\n<h2><strong>Advertising vs Publicity – the showdown</strong></h2>\r\nAnswering this question is akin to solving that age old dilemma: what came first - the chicken or the egg?

Were you more likely to click on an advert for a company you know and trust – or one that other people know and trust – than one you don’t? Of course you were!\r\n\r\nDecide on your target audience and work from there. A great way to gain publicity on local and national levels is through entering awards competitions. There’s plenty of media coverage to be had, and they offer a great way to network.

Think we\'re being pedantic? Maybe! But to us, the distinction between these two words is vital. Here\'s why...\r\n<h2><strong>Advertising - </strong>a PAID, marketing and promotional tool conveying a message entirely controlled by the company/product.</h2>\r\n<h2>Publicity - factual information distributed to media, which is not under the control of any company or its representatives.</h2>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWhile advertising is an expensive technique to demonstrate company’s products and services, publicity is always free of cost. These two terms are commonly understood as one and the same thing, but there is fine line of differences between advertising and publicity, which is explained here in tabular form..\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThere are some experts like Al Reis, author of the superb marketing text, \"Positioning: The Battle For Your Mind,\" that believe a majority of companies shouldn’t waste their money on advertising until they have established name recognition and credibility through Public Relations and publicity.  Others will tell you that a combination of both advertising and PR are required.    But one thing\'s for certain:  Every expert agrees, \"that you can’t just put up your web site, open your store, offer your service or manufacture a product and then not do anything to attract customers!\"\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSo... advertising is content you pay for (radio, tv, newspaper, banner advertising, etc).  Publicity on the other hand, refers to free content about you and your company that appears in the media.  It\'s what others what others say about you.  Publicity can result when an article you write is published, or when information you give to an editor convinces him/her to feature a story about you or is based on a publicity release issued by a Public Relations firm you have retained.   Over time, these stories help create a favorable impression of your product or services.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe average person has no real idea of how the media find their stories, but the prevailing view seems to be that reporters go out and find all of their news.   This is simply not realistic thinking! There just aren’t enough reporters on the planet to find every bit of news worth covering.   So if you can present your information convincingly, there\'s a good a chance that you\'ll gain the interest of the media.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSo how can I get publicity for my company?   Well...let\'s deal with the Internet here.  The Internet or World Wide Web, has its own rules about commercialism, and it usually is disastrous to those who break them.   If your press releases, postings or articles are blatant self-promotion or a sales pitch instead of truly useful information they will be ignored and won’t be used.   Worse, you risk the negative publicity of being flamed (you and your company being strongly put down online, or you\'ll receive quantities of unwanted and negative e-mail).   So... here\'s a simply philosophy to follow:  \"Before you put out a public message, play \"who cares?\" and ask yourself \"why would other people be interested in what I have to say?\" or \"how can people benefit from the information I am supplying?\"  If you can\'t come up with solid, positive answers to these questions, then keep working on your publicity release or article until you do.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWant to know how to write a good, solid publicity release for yourself?  Just click here!','','','inherit','closed','closed','','13518-revision-v1','','','2017-03-21 15:05:03','2017-03-21 15:05:03','',13518,'http://www.leagraham.com/13518-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(13520,7,'2017-03-22 12:04:04','2017-03-22 12:04:04','<h1>Advertising vs Publicity - what you need to know about the decades-old debate</h1>\nA few days ago, we caught a client of ours using the word <em>advertising</em> when in fact they meant <em>publicity.</em> Think we\'re being pedantic?
