Bryan Adams and the mystery of a competition

Isn't it amazing how new technology can help a story spread? I heard on BBC Suffolk the other day about a photography competion run by my old friends at the Hearing Care Centre) ...

and suddenly the details are on the offical Bryan Adams website.

Is he a keen photographer, concerned about hearing loss or just likes the theme of photographs of favourite Suffolk sounds???

How it got there no-one seems sure but it proves the worldwideweb is a wonderful and mysterious thing at times...

After all there was the guy who "twittered" about his amazing escape from a plane crash - one we can all now see, filmed as it was filmed by someone who saw it!


I first taught companies and councils how to maximise their chances of publicity and do great media interviews back in the late 1980's. I had a break when working for the BBC and am now running similar workshops for individuals, NHS staff, small businesses, councils etc and yes, I now include "citizen journalism" as well as blogs, podcasts,etc.

It does make you wonder what the next development will be.... there could be someone working on the computer right now, having one of those lightbulb-over-the-head moments of inspiration...
