Chorley versus North End match sponsorship

The sad news that David Nugent is today finally leaving North End for Portsmouth is tempered by The Buzz Factory's first ever football match sponsorship at the Chorley versus Preston North End friendly on Friday.

I'll report back with a summary of, what I'm sure will be, a wonderful sporting occasion!

We've added value to the match sponsorship agreement by offering The Magpies (Chorley) a brainstorm to help them raise their profile. Last year this proud club (Chorley not North End!) nearly went out of business so it seemed the least we could do. The news release will be featured in the programme and we also get a mention in the Chorley Guardian. I'll also be networking on the night. Every little helps.

Thanks to Geoff Haslam and the team at Chorley.

Carbon Footprints

You can’t beat cycling to work. I’m very proud to be a Prestonian. And perhaps this pictoral tribute to my journey to work will give you an inkling as to the reason why. Not everyone has the luxury of being able to take in beautiful scenery like this as they cycle to work. And if you’re stuck behind the wheel in traffic jams every morning and evening you have my sympathy.


Incidentally, from a PR point of view, carbon footprints are big news at the moment. How is your business making a difference? Don't forget to let your trade and regional press in on the good news!
