as Clear as PR and The Baby Show are looking for live bloggers




I am working really closely with the main PR company for The Baby Show at Earls Court in October.
We are looking for a few select mummy & daddy bloggers to come along to the show and live blog about everything that is happening.
We also have a press briefing before the show opens on Friday 16th October that you are welcome to attend.


There is so much going on throughout the three days that you won't be short of inspiration for your posts. Top children's food expert Annabel Karmel is on hand to offer feeding advice, there's fashion shows, activities for toddlers and Dragon Deborah Meaden will also take to the stage.


Prima Baby Magazine are hosting their ever popular search for the Face of the Baby Show 2010 - so if you think your baby has what it takes, you can document the whole process for all to see.

Why We’ve Selected ‘As Clear As PR’ – BabaBing! Ltd


It’s been an action packed few years for BabaBing! From small beginnings in Keighley, West Yorkshire back in 2004 to defining the category of Paternity Satchels, aka ‘Dad Bags’.

The all male team of nursery product developers have lead the way in functional, well-designed and, if we have to say it, ‘uni-sex’ products which have become loved by the industry and users alike.

At BabaBing! we have an ever expanding range of products and big plans for the future.  Such is our passion that we have been simply eating, sleeping and dreaming about design and development for so long that we haven’t had time to shout about how good we are!
That’s why we’ve hooked up with ‘as Clear as PR’, just as we launch our new super-sleek loBO Bouncer.

“We’ve heard nothing but great things about ‘as Clear as PR’ from our colleagues in the nursery industry and it was essential for us to find a partner that shared our passion.
Strong partnerships are a key part of our business values and we really wanted to find a company that we could grow with.
We instantly hit it off with ‘as Clear as PR’, their experience and knowledge of our industry really impressive. As parents they understand our products and they also share our passion.
We are really looking forward to working with them as we develop and grow.”
