Always apologise for a mistake!

Giving the right presents

Giving the right presents
Simple PR wins: Muppets cupcakes sent to Stephen Fry – to promote/celebrate (same thing) the launch of The Muppets movie, character cupcakes were sent to prominent tweeters. Who then tweeted about them, thus letting millions of followers know about the film if they didn’t already. PR doesn’t need to be complicated.
