Naomi Campbell in Tussle with Bell Pottinger PR People

Bell Pottinger PR Naomi Campbell has something of a reputation of outbursts over the years especially involving those who work for her, and it appears another episode happened recently with one of the account executives at Bell Pottinger. This one was hired to improve Ms. Campbell’s public image but is left with a bruised face for his troubles. The publicist remains unnamed but is said to be about 26 and bringing in £30K a year. He had been working with Campbell for about a year when the episode happened in New York around Christmas. Campbell was recovering from foot surgery and thought the publicist was leaking information to the tabloid media, so when he was sending a text she wrestled with him to take the phone away.

Carolina Panthers and Cam Newton Receiving PR Advice from Luntz Global

Earlier in the year, Cam Newton changed his view on race issues about the time the team brought in a communications advisor, Frank Luntz, who has worked with the team in 2014 when he spearheaded a campaign with the team and Newton to improve the organization’s image. Luntz is also a pollster for the GOP. Luntz, head of Luntz Global, sent a memo to the team saying: “He [Newton} is primed to be one of the NFL greats.

Anatomy of a Depeg: The Stablecoin Crisis Communications Framework

A depeg is a confidence event. The operational communications framework for stablecoin issuers — built around the USDC SVB case, the model for handling one well. Anatomy of a Depeg: The Stablecoin Crisis Communications Framework A stablecoin depeg is not a price event. It is a confidence event — and confidence, once it begins to move, moves at the speed of a redemption queue. The communications response does not have hours to organize. It has minutes.
