John Coyle was a PR operative who worked with Brian Basham at Broad Street PR.
Broad Street Associates
Coyle joined forces with Brian Basham, founder of the PR firm Broad Street Group. According to PR Week:
- together they built Broad Street into a pounds 15 million public company with a reputation for high-profile and aggressive PR, together with an equally high-octane lifestyle. [1]
Another later account described him thus:
- Johnny was a colossus who bestrode City PR in the 1980s. He built Broad Street Associates with Brian Basham and between them brought a new meaning to the contested takeover bids of that boom era. Johnny started half-a-dozen other PR companies, married and divorced many times, made two fortunes and lost them both, was declared bankrupt and probably made as many enemies as he did friends.Coyle a tough player in corporate world, Profile Extra, CIPR web journal Publication Date : 30 June 2006 .
