PR Week featured my work to save the Met Police Trafficking Unit as one of their three top campaigns this week. It has also been mentioned in Campaign magazine.
The petition to save the Metropolitan Police dedicated human trafficking unit was, as regular readers will know, run largely online and mainly via this blog.
Such recognition by the PR industry’s two top magazines is very good news for me. It’s also a huge tribute to Jounalista, run by Holly Sutton and Sarah MacKinlay, who put together and ran the campaign. Its success was due to their hard work, creativity and commitment.
Although slightly fazed by being featured alongside a new luxury loo roll by Andrex, and Hamleys, one of the UK’s biggest toy shops, I am proud to see a political campaign alongside two consumer giants.
Despite its many colourful characters, intrigue, infighting and glamour that is frequently beyond anything seen in Westminster, Brussels politicians such as myself have to fight hard for recognition in the UK. This is such a shame as the public don’t get to hear of so much of the important work being carried out by their representatives on the continent.
Shutting down human trafficking networks and getting countries to work together to stop this horrendous trade is just one example of some of the cutting edge and far reaching initiatives that I am involved with.
So I am extremely grateful to PR Week for featuring the campaign to save the Metropolitan Police Human Trafficking Unit, and I look forward to more contact with the magazine in the future.
