First Victory For The Really Ethical PR Agency!

Bell Pottinger's Bahrain Brief Suspended Amid Country's Crisis:

Bell Pottinger, heavily under fire from a small group of protesters for its work in Bahrain, has finally bowed to pressure and suspended it's controversial work on behalf of the Economic Development Board of Bahrain

Rupert Read of The Really Ethical PR Agency commented:

"We congratulate B-P and we urge them to cancel all remaining accounts that they have with Bahrain. If they do that, they will earn our genuine goodwill and that of all supporters of the rights of democratic protesters in Bahrain and across the MiddleEast.

"The tide is clearly turning against the age of purely-profit-seeking-PR. Because PR agencies are starting to realise that, for them, representing violent dictators and their countries and their economies is just really bad PR."

From Libya, With Love

A reporter from Mother Jones, the legendary U.S. periodical, phoned us at The Really Ethical PR Agency last week to inquire about our recent and planned future activities.

Mother Jones are particularly interested in the Libya-BLJ connection, because of their recent work in the area of Libya's PR - check out this excellent article on their website - From Libya, With Love.

Really Bad PR for Brown Lloyd James

We will remember.  Any PR agency that represents dictators will have it come back to bite them. Representing criminals like Gaddafi is just really bad PR..
