An end of week shout to Alex who is our PR and is an unsung hero, completely under the radar, and yet so important in our team. Alex was one of our customers and, before influencers became a thing, had a fab dog blog called Barkarama. Then we found out she was a PR and we asked if she could help us as we had no clue about how to approach the media. That was over ten years ago and other Jenny and I, Alex is the longest serving member of Team Charley Chau - the photo is Alex with her old boy Basil on one of photo shoots 9 years ago - where has all that time gone???!!! (side point - Alex tells me off for using ! all the time)
I rarely get to sit down think about our press coverage as one overall body of work but that's exactly what I've been doing this week and my brain is totally fried. Charley Chau is such a tiny brand and yet our beds & blankets have graced the pages of Elle Decoration, Forbes Magazine, Country Life, Country Living, The Sunday Times, The Field, The Telegraph, The Times, The Guardian, Ideal Home, OK! Magazine, The Daily Express, Daily Mirror, FT How To Spend It, and the list goes on and on! Plus our beds have appeared on TV on BBC, ITV and Channel 4!
Alex, you are an absolute legend - thank you for everything you do for Charley Chau ⭐⭐⭐
All this mind boggling coverage inspired me to create a new "Charley Chau in the press" page that is now live on our website along with the beginnings of press highlights on our product pages :-)
