The press release announcing the launch of the new Retro Computer Games exhibition for our client The Museum of Computing, was despatched to about 280 magazines, national and regional newspapers as well as broadcast media. Blue Click PR has put about 7 stories up to BBC Breakfast TV before and this is the first story they have covered. The producer rang on Monday at 2pm requesting building access at 6am the next day to do two live slots on BBC Breakfast TV at 7.40am and 8.40am. Max Foster was the presenter and each news items was different. In total the exhibition was on air for 6 minutes on national TV, it ran as far as BBC news headlines throughout the day until late evening (lesser stories are sometimes replaced halfway through the day).

HTV had already booked filming during the day, but as a result of the Breakfast TV news, Central TV and BBC Points West rang and sent crews on the day. BBC Radio Swindon did a live broadcast. For a table of print media coverage click here

The Managing Director of this recruitment agency invests in her own people and motivates her sales team with prizes such as trips on Concorde, lunch at the Eiffel Tower and Whale-watching in Iceland.
