Opera Australia announce Brisbane season
What a treat it was to again work with Opera Australia, this time announcing their 2012 Brisbane season.

Vienna Philharmonic arrive in Sydney
The last couple of months I’ve been busy working with the Sydney Opera House crew on the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra’s concerts, October 2010. Such a great team of people to work with, especially Yarmila Alfonzetti (far right) who kept me sane following the zillion emails it took to secure interviews and photo-shoots. The result = roaring success for all involved. Image... Read More

Ch 7′s Disney presenters get dancing
I’ve worked with Channel 7′s Saturday Disney team a few times now. They tell me there’s two or three publicists named Prue, but I am Prue No 1. I’m guessing that’s because I can always convince my clients to do crazy things on their shoots. This shoot was by far the funniest and most successful! I had two brilliant dancers from Mod Dance Company pretend... Read More

A sparkling way to see in the New Year
Last week I celebrated my first ‘official’ year as a company. It’s hard to believe as it’s flown by in the blink of eye, but it’s been a year of great experiences.
