Polly Rivers PR Hi! I'm Polly, from Polly Rivers PR. Running a business is a lot to manage, and I understand that marketing may not be on the top of your priority list.

Let’s chat about where your business is currently, and more importantly, where you want it to be.

The smiling-through-gritted-teeth face I pull when I'm looking at my diary and trying to work out how the crapping hell it's already sodding next week.

Haven't they just gone back after Easter? 😣

Right, Nanny Liz, where art thou?

🐝 Happy World Bee Day! 🐝

My little one was this morning when I dropped her off at nursery (despite being wracked with hayfever). She loves bees and was super excited about World Bee Day.

I have already had a finger-painted bee pic texted to me from her key person, and I thought sharing Nanny’s felted version was apt too…

We had a very long, very serious chat this morning walking to nursery, about how bees are a good example of how things work best when everyone does their job. Some gather nectar (Mummy at Sainsbury's), some protect the queen (Daddy, of course), some are solely there to p**s off your sister (you!)... nobody steps on anyone’s wings, they just crack on and get their bee-jobs done and the hive is largely happy.

When we trust each other to do what we’re best at, we create the sweetest results. I reckon we could all learn a thing or two from our fuzzy little friends!

Isn’t it strange when things just don’t go the way you expect them to?

My daughter is currently obsessed with a Bicarbonate of Soda and Cream of Tartar tub - they came home from nursery, Mr Okie Dokie and his sister, apparently 🤷‍♀️

She’s carried them EVERYWHERE for two days, chatting away to them, sharing her cucumber, they’ve moved into her dolls house, but she keeps looking for their faces. So after removing them from her bed last night, I did what I thought was the obvious thing and gave them faces.

OH. MY. GOD. The full of hysteria this morning. She was inconsolable. I had to source emergency repairing equipment at 7.15am 🫠

So. This morning, my highly valuable message is that s**t that should work amazingly, just doesn’t always… and don’t p**s about with a three year olds recycling!

Oh, it was such a terrible hardship having to visit Leonardslee Gardens with Ziggy for Pristine Paws Dog Wash today… I simply don’t know HOW we coped!

Well. This week was going so well.

A spicy pothole incident really made today’s school run a memorable one… and it seems we have all learnt a new word to take into nursery too. Double oooops.

Off we go to Kwik Fit

Was super excited to see the statue of Aphra Behn in Canterbury today. She was the first English woman to earn her living by writing - and has been recognised in the epic statue which was unveiled by the Queen this year.

She (Aphra, not the Queen) was also a pretty badass spy, which I can’t relate to quite as much, admittedly, but is also very cool.

Virginia Woolf gave Aphra Behn a shout out in ‘A Room of One’s Own’ with the epic quote: ‘All women together ought to let flowers fall upon the tomb of Aphra Behn which is, most scandalously but rather appropriately, in Westminster Abbey, for it was she who earned them the right to speak their minds’.

Well worthy of a statue, I reckon.

ChatGPT struggled with making my Barbie look like me - it got Ziggy pretty bang on though. Well done, Chatters👍

Now, I'm not totally sold on the idea of being in a box, so Barbie-me is busting free. A Barbie-outside-the-Box, if you will.

Like me, small business marketing rarely fits neatly into prescribed packaging. Finding the right solution can feel like nailing jelly to a wall at times - frustrating, fruitless and messy. However, bust out of that box, think a little wider, and together we can find the perfect solution.

(Ziggy is not much help, but he's a super cute B-I-A-B sidekick 💓)

It's a bit embarrassing that it wasn't until I was renewing my business insurance yesterday, that I realised I've been at this freelancing game for FIFTEEN YEARS.

Genuinely feels like only yesterday that I announced to my Mum that I was following in her footsteps and going it alone... (and could I borrow twenty quid for some business cards)?

Here's to the next fifteen! Maybe I'll actually remember the next milestone 🤣
