How to get head at work
‘PR queen’ Roxy Jacenko has a new book out, and has been on something of a promotional tour plugging it in recent days. Including an interview in Cleo.
However her agency Sweaty Betty PR might want to be a bit more careful when rewriting the headlines of interviews to put on their Facebook page:
For anyone interested the actual headline which was changed to ‘5 things every woman should be doing to get head at work’ on Facebook was in Cleo ‘5 things every career-minded woman should be doing’.
My submit my CV to Sweaty Betty!

Should be “ahead”.
Or are women working out how to get head at work?
Hi Paul,
You might want to try reading the article – that’s exactly the point.
Cheers,
Alex – editor, Mumbrella
@Paul – it’s Cleo Magazine’s error not Mumbrella’s 😉
Ha! Especially given that Roxy = Sweaty Betty
I’m still laughing at the above Paul & Alex interaction.
And you’re publishing this why? Is it news this person has the skills of a fifth grader?
Is someone at Mumbrella on the ‘take’ here?
I’ve heard some publicists aspire to be her. That’s how shallow the pool has become
That is so blatantly sexist. Imagine a bloke writing about how to get head at work. Cue the outcry.
Good on her. Two kids. 1 agency. 3 books. Give that woman a drink and a standing ovation!
Given it’s cleo magazine, what makes you think that headline wasn’t a clever publicity-grabbing intentional ‘mistake’?
Paul, you’re a clever dude.
So if Men want to just talk about stuff.??
i may have to check out her YouTube channel to really understand this story!
I believe it’s called RedTube.
Looking forward to hearing her described as the “author of several books” from now on.
As a frequent (and grateful) recipient of online abuse, it never fails to amaze and depress me that there is always someone who doesn’t get the joke (cue self-righteous indignation).
Then another complains that it’s not a story, demanding to know why someone is being paid to write this, followed by a moron who accuses the writer of some ism or another (usually when the article is exposing the offending ism by quoting it).
Oh, and being “on the take” is another favourite. Then there’s the person who skims a 200 word article and wants to know why everything isn’t explained and all sides of the story haven’t been explored.
Is this the same person, pretending to be working when they are really just devouring internet stories, their fingers hovering over their special Ctrl+Alt+troll keys?
Hang on, maybe not getting the joke IS the joke. Curses, fooled again!
