PH Audio producer Mark Griffiths has enjoyed further writing success with his latest published work for The Independent newspaper.
Only last week, we talked to Mark about his book deal for his debut novel with Simon & Schuster. Today, Mark’s audio play The Miner and the Thief (written to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Miners’ Strike) is available to download online. And the best part – it’s absolutely free.
As one of PH Audio’s dedicated audio producers, Mark Griffiths spends his days making client productions sound the way they should. But by night, he’s a hugely talented scriptwriter and novelist – and for his efforts he recently landed a publishing deal for his debut novel with Simon & Schuster.
In this post, Matt catches up with Mark to learn about the book and find out how he’s juggled the sound of words with writing them.
PH Audio features in this week’s Print Week Magazine. Christian Peacock, sales and marketing director at Blackburns of Bolton, tells Print Week’s Deputy Features Editor Philip Chadwick about how OHM is an important marketing tool for the print industry.
Following our recent conference, PH Media’s sales team put on their racing coveralls for the 2010 PH Media Group Go-Kart Grand Prix.
This year’s event took place at Daytona Manchester, where after loads of thrills and a fair few spills, the heats revealed a strong grid for the final race.
Tight lines and tidy cornering gave Ops Director Jason Daye first place, with Sales Execs Terry Rodgers and Tom Ritchie taking second and third.
But trophies aren’t the full story – the day’s fastest laps were put down by Simon La Band, Mark Williamson and Kieron Driscoll.
While the UK’s press occupies itself with icy roads, epic snowmen and Eurostar’s winter engineering problems, weather over in the States has thrown up its own challenges for another large travel company this weekend.
Delta Air Lines – who’ve had to cancel a large number of flights owing to bad weather in the wake of the massive Eastcoast snow storm – have apparently misjudged their callers’ taste in on-hold music.
According to accounts from many angry Twitter users, stranded travellers and would-be passengers are calling the airline only to hear Let It Snow on a loop.
We reckon they’d have been better recording some comfort messages directing callers to helpful pages on their website…
…But we’re sure they probably know that by now.
We’re a patient bunch, us Brits. Along with fax machines, umbrellas and radar, we invented queuing.
We queue at Alton Towers. Queue at the post office. Queue for pints. Queue for burgers after too many pints. We’d queue for sleeping if somebody said it was the right and proper thing to do.
Waiting politely is a nationwide sport. To the rest of the world, we’re a country of hooligans, stag-doers, beer-drinkers and queue-ers. To rest of the world, we’re either battering each other, voicing baddies in Bond films, or standing quietly in a line.
But, according to new research by TalkTalk, there’s a problem with that stereotype.
As a country, we’re fast losing patience.
So it’s not quite Christmas yet, but it certainly begins to feel a bit more like it when the markets hit Manchester.
Last week, Google and PRS reached an agreement to lift the block on the music videos, sealing the music rights deal. It is expected that all the removed videos will be uploaded by users back onto the site in the next few days.
On the 1st of September 2009, the Federal Trade Commission of America banned automated sales calls.
An amendment to their Telemarket Sales Rules requires telemarketers to obtain written permission from American consumers to receive Robocalls.
If you’ve ever received a Fonejacker-style cold-call claiming you have won a holiday on a cruise ship, you’re probably received a Robocall at home before.
Don’t worry though, this form of direct marketing is already illegal in the UK if the calls are made without the implicit consent of consumers.
What are your thoughts on this use of audio technology?
Are Robocalls ever welcome?

In the very minute this post goes live there’ll be a once-in-a-lifetime moment exactly 56 seconds later — depending on your watch, of course.
