Diary: Tory leader Howard gets to number ten

PR Week UK 11-Mar-05, 19:09

The Conservative Party's campaign team will no doubt be grateful to PRWeek as we hereby deliver the headline it has been working towards (see above).

But before Lynton Crosby, Guy Black et al crack open the champers, we should probably add that the headline relates to the Tories coming tenth in The Top Ten Ads That Make News table for February.

The Tories' ads on immigration policy and appealing to pensioners got them into the table, compiled by Propeller Communications and Durrants Media Monitoring in association with Brand Republic.

The table was, er, topped by Labour, whose allegedly anti-semitic posters targeting Michael Howard and Oliver Letwin caused a stir earlier this year.

Still, happy to provide temporary warming to Central Office cockles at any rate.
