We’ve had a really busy month here at jamjar PR towers and wanted to share with you what the team and our clients have been up to… We gave a talk to students on the MA in International Public Relations and Global Communications Management course at Cardiff University, sharing top tips of how to be a PR superstar. We also braved a 90ft zipwire chal

We took on some lovely new clients – Cwm Taf University Health Board, Cardiff University, Le Gros Solicitors and EST Accountants and had lots of exciting news to share from those we already work with. We worked with Sport Wales on a series of short films promoting female rugby, in light of the RBS Six Nations.

We won Excellence in Marketing and Communication at the Welsh Business Awards, run by the South Wales Chamber of Commerce. Up against well-established, big organisations from across Wales, to say we were surprised is an understatement...but we were absolutely ecstatic to win! Here’s us with the event host, Gethin Jones.

Google ‘launched’ Com.Google, flipping the entire search site from

The Cardiff Life Awards 2015 – what a night! We were met by a mass of glamorously dressed folk sipping on Bucks Fizz and chatting about all the wonderful things Cardiff has to offer. It was great to see so many people coming together to celebrate the talent and hard work that goes into our amazing capital city.

We’ve only gone and done it again…..for a second year in a row, we have won ‘Outstanding Small Consultancy’ of the year at the CIPR Cymru Wales PRide Awards. Beating off strong competition from two other agencies, we were judged the best small agency in Wales by a national panel of industry experts. Judges said: “jamjar PR is a strong, experienced agency who possess a powerful combination of humble sentiment, big thi

Is your timeline clogged up with people sharing montage videos of their lives? Our Comms Assistant Sadye Baker takes a look at the journey of Facebook that led to this point. Ten years ago, Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg set out with the aim to connect fellow college students.
