RE: Government lays out hub structure for COI replacement
Carol, agreed - the COI staff have been the true victims in all of this, and years of best practice and experience stand to be lost when the new system takes hold. It will be the job of us hacks to try and ascertain if whatever replaces it is indeed more efficient / effective - lets hope our worst fears are not realised.
RE: Government lays out hub structure for COI replacement
The way that COI staff have been treated throughout this whole process, with a large axe hanging over their heads for 2 years now, whilst being expected to continue to offer high quality help & advice, is nothing short of abysmal & thoroughly disrespectful on the part of their ultimate employers at the Cabinet Office. There have been so many u-turns and changes of direction, it is a wonder that anyone in Hercules House has any idea of what they are supposed to be doing from week to week. Their levels of very specialised expertise & years of experience in dealing with one-off & very challenging programmes, is about to be thrown away because of a political decision which had been taken before the government had ever been elected. There is no doubt that whatever emerges as the new 'system' for dealing with the non- press side of communications, it will end up being far more expensive than COI, but the true numbers, as in many other Government Departments, will be lost in the morass that is Whitehall budgets, so no-one, least of all ministers, will have any idea of the real results. And now that this sorry episode appears to be drawing to a close, can we look forward to an enquiry into the efficacy of the Press relations part of government communications? With around 100-150 press officers in each government department are we, as taxpayers, not entitled to expect that they will be subject to review with the same rigour?
Government lays out hub structure for COI replacement
The Government is to set up at least three marketing hubs for cross-departmental campaigns as part of plans to replace COI, which also include appointing Jenny Grey as acting executive director and placing the 400 remaining staff in a consultation period.

RE: Global Radio revenues decline 1.3%
Chaps, every medium and media owner can build in exclusions and then show a relative good performance. Radio had an over reliance for too long on the COI. Imagine how well they'd be doing if this strategy had been proative not reactive. \(albeit easier said than done) Up is up, down is down. The numbers are the numbers. I'm just off to recalibrate Outdoor figures in 2009, excluding motors, corp/ finance and high street banking.
RE: Global Radio revenues decline 1.3%
I agree. I think there is a journalistic rule that stops headlines like. Global radio counters the drop in spend from reduced COI activity.
RE: COI changes could be 'disadvantage', Sorrell says
Simon, you're right the review Sorrell contributed to did propose replacing COI with the Government Communications Centre but it also proposed having six central teams of marketers focusing on priority issues such as health - those proposals were rejected.
RE: COI changes could be 'disadvantage', Sorrell says
Given Sorrell was not only involved in advising the government on COI's demise back in January, but has also been cosying up to George Osbourne on WPP's tax status, these comments seem a little odd?
COI changes could be 'disadvantage', Sorrell says
Government departments taking responsibility for campaigns after the dismantling of the centralised COI may be a "disadvantage" but M4C will stay in business, according to WPP's Sir Martin Sorrell.

Errr, no, Soap. But a hastily put together brief from the COI (what's left of it) regarding safety-ware.
