So working in Digital, Marketing, and the PR space in the UK means that you have to get around in London quite a bit and make yourself known. On this front most of the time it is either through social media events, launches, chatting on Twitter, or a “standard” beer/wine binge with London’s elite!
Anyone who is new to the London area needs a good grounding in the most informative reprobates roaming the online space and the streets. With this in mind I thought I would post my top people to stalk online and grab a pint with in the real world!
