Bio
Pat Tissington
What Clive does is first to understand your business and then work out how to put your story in a way which will get it noticed. He tells you right away what will work and what won't which means that when he says something will get media interest, it always does. This is because he has an instinct for a story and superb connections - he knows a huge number journalists on a personal basis and they trust his reputation for spotting great stories rather than just sending out press releases. In fact, I don't think Clive ever sends press releases out - he just phones the right people and makes the story get on air or in the paper. One thing you realise early on with Clive is that he knows EVERYBODY. His great interpersonal skills mean he gets the best out of people but will also tell you when you get things wrong. He is persuasive, focussed and ambitious yet is without doubt one of the nicest, kindest funniest people I have ever met. Great at making something newsworthy out of what ever business you are in and superb value over a glass of wine celebrating success. I am very happy to recommend Clive and would happily back this up individually if anyone wants to contact me for more information.

Looking after publicity and promotions, but also teaching cycling proficiency to ten year olds and talking to 'youth in uniform' about safe road use. Talked Austin Rover into providing a free car as a competition prize and the Minister for Transport into coming to West Bromwich to give it away. Dressed as Wally the Road Safety Rhino for drama performances in most of Sandwell's primary schools. Happy Days!
