The people have spoken. And we’ve ignored them. It’s CommsCon. Not Mr Splashy Pants 2013

So yesterday we asked you what you thought of the name CommsCon for our forthcoming PR conference and awards.

Somewhat predictably, Mr Splashy Pants 2013 won by an overwhelming margin.

After careful thought, we’ve decided not to call the event that. It doesn’t entirely capture the gravitas we hope to bring to the occasion.

So we’ll be sticking with calling the communications conference “CommsCon.”

I don’t like it.

Then again the nation was built on convict labour and I am convinced that the PR industry is full of con artists, so therefore I guess it is appropriate?
