Returning Gerel Orgil’s favor, I wrote a guest piece on PR and management for her excellent blog Social Media Elevation. The subject is as simple as the title: Bad management equals bad PR. Again, so simple… and again so many managers fail at the simplest of principles. The post is a part of the #BeMyGuest initiative by Emily Cagle and

It’s been kind of quiet here the past weeks, and now I can officially tell you why. All my creative energy has gone into getting started with a new international football cup for intellectually disabled: Fässberg Nordic Open. I was recruited to work part time as a cup general for this new venture, and we are really starting from scratch

Since I have a blogger’s block, I settle for short reflections right now. Today, it’s this one: What goes around comes around. If you want others to help you in your job or even to get you assignments, a good start is to help them first. Cooperation is not something that just happens to you. Be proud about your expertise,

As part of the #BeMyGuest campaign, initiated by Emily Cagle and Adam Vincenzini, I hereby have the honor of presenting a guest post by Brittish PR pro Gerel Orgil. Equal parts useful and funny, as usual! This post is contributed by me, Gerel Orgil, as part of #BeMyGuest, a guest writing initiative that I’ve failed to follow through until the

Sometimes you get questions you did not see coming. The other day I got this one. “We need 1400 kg of red apples for the tourism fair, can you help us with that too?”. Naturally, I could and did.

I listened to Swedish radio this morning. A man spoke about relationships between European men and Asian women. It did not turn my world upside down, but it certainly got me thinking. And I changed my mind about what stigma to write about today, I will attack a gender tomorrow instead. Today, I wonder: Why is it that when a

Day II in social stigma week, today I will take a pot shot at feminism as a term and why the movement in itself is failing to get things done. First off, let me make sure that you know one thing about me: I am a die hard believer in all people’s equality, and have stood on the frontiers fighting

It’s the beginning of stigma week, and what better way of starting it than by stating the obvious: Journalism needs PR. End of discussion! You don’t agree? Ok, let me tell you why I think it’s so. First off, at least here in Sweden, schools produce journalist by the dozens, with no regard to the fact that the job market

The blog has now moved from Blogger to my own domain, vampyr.se. So welcome here! Over the upcoming week, I will be going through all old blog posts to change the format and some internal links – the transfer to WordPress has not gone as easy as it should I’m afraid. So, please be patient if some things looks weird

That’s not a brilliant headline to be responsible for, right? Well, that’s actually what happened to Swedish league team Kalmar FF in a twisted kind of way way. November 5 they signed Yannick Bapupa, ten days later he was arrested for suspicions on rape. Today, before even playing his first official game for the club, he was found guilty and
