China Festival 2008
China Festival 2008 is a corporation set up by PR executive and founder of Brunswick, Alan Parker. Parker was appointed a director on 21 July 2006 according to documents lodged at Companies House. Along with over 30 other directorships this seems to be another of Parker's 'Brunswick' projects as opposed to a separate initiative. This view seems confirmed by an email from Askonas Holt who are advertised as being responsible for sponsorship opportunities for the fexstival. 'Askonas Holt are part of the event organising around The China Festival', writes Sofie Mason of Askonas, 'but the real driving force comes from Brunswick PR.'[1]

- Planning for the festival are already underway and we now need to recruit a decisive Marketing Director to develop the marketing, promotions and PR strategy. You will ideally have worked on large scale festivals or major events. You will have a run rather than walk attitude, have fastidious attention to detail and be a stickler for bringing in large scale projects on budget. We would like to see CV’s with evidence to show that you are able to really drive campaigns and brand awareness. Experience of working on campaigns and with agencies across all platforms including PR, promotional and digital is essential, as is working with sponsors and event partners. As a person you will be quick, creative, persuasive, a motivator, have gravitas and work well as part of a small tight knit team.
