It’s Valentine’s Week, which means we’ve been very creative planning campaigns for clients including flirting coach Jean Smith and The Bentall Centre, one of the leading shopping destinations in the UK according to The Sun newspaper in December!

Tonight, Jean kicks off her new workshop and seminar, ‘Flirt Like A Silver Screen Siren’ at the London Film Museum, which has had some great previews in ES Magazine and Metro.

Inspired by Marilyn Monroe, Doris Day, Mae West, Greta Garbo, Katherine Hepburn and Bette Davis, Jean Smith has created an inspiring talk to show women how the original Hollywood goddesses captivated audiences – as well as the many men who fell in love with them.

Jean also runs ‘Flirting and Walking tours’ in London, with her next tour taking place on February 15th at 6:45pm, from the foyer of the National Portrait Gallery.

And as if we need more romantic inspiration, we’ve already seen the incredible performers from the Pop-Up opera company tread the boards…or rather the lower ground floor of The Bentall Centre, surprising shoppers with scenes from love story L’Elisir d’amore.

The performers, decked in aprons and washing up gloves, filled Kingston with song as silent movie style captions played behind them, to the delight of those watching.

Clementine Lovell, director of Pop Up-Opera, said “The unique architecture and acoustics at The Bentall Centre are perfect.
It’s a beautiful building so we were delighted to have the chance to use this space as our stage, and bring our musical story to the shoppers. We’ve performed in many unusual places including boats made of scrap metal and a garlic farm! Here, because the audience was standing so close to us we were able to surprise them, not just with the performance, but also by handing out little romantic gifts”.

Aaaah!

Golden Goose PR has been busy this Friday!

We started the day visiting the head quarters of the Press Association with Ben Lee, four times Guinness World Record breaking fastest violonist and one half of electric rock violin duo FUSE.

The PA team looked after us brilliantly, and we can’t thank Abi Jackson, Kate Whiting and Diana Pilkington enough.

Ben performed live during our visit…we can’t say much more but look out for some exciting news in weeks to come, exclusively released by the PA.

In the meantime, across the other side of London, 300 cakes were arriving at The Bentall Centre in Kingston-Upon-Thames from Sweet Revenge, to celebrate 20 years of fantastic shopping since Surrey’s famous mall first opened its doors.

Leading retailers took part in the birthday party running special offers in stores.

A happy day for all!

It’s Halloween week, time to celebrate ghosts, ghouls, goblins and everything that goes bump in the night.

And who better to do this with than legendary spooky story tellers David Carter and Nell Phoenix?

Golden Goose PR has brought the pair, known for telling scary tales throughout the year at the acclaimed 40 Winks Hotel in London to The Bentall Centre in Kingston-Upon-Thames.

David and Nell have adapted a series of bewitching stories for a family audience, suitable for even the most squeamish of children of all ages.

Today at The Bentall Centre, they have come with props and rife imaginations to captivate audiences beneath the haunted tree, beside the enchanted book of spells – giving Kingston families the chance to catch a taster of the famous London based readings that Time Out, Vogue and the Saturday Times have applauded with rave reviews.

Beware!
