And finally… Fancy an extra set of arms?

PR in High Definition

Tech wizzes from the University of Tokyo and Keio University have created a robotic system called ‘Fusion’ that gives the wearer an extra head and two arms. It sounds completely wacky and does look a bit peculiar when you see it on a human. Worn like a backpack, the makers have described it as ‘full body surrogacy for collaborative communication.’.

Building reputations for the long haul

PR in High Definition

Last month, Hollie raised a lot of excellent points about how to strike a balance between novelty and innovation in creating a communications campaign and as I read it, something interesting occurred to me. A company’s communications very much depend on its stage in a lifecycle – and there are often a few common ‘inflection points’ along this winding road.
