Three tips to avoid a PR setback damaging your company reputation

Last week we announced that we've been involved in helping to run the UK Talent Unleashed Awards and yesterday we announced our shortlist. They are 15 inspiring entrepreneurs and technologists who are making their mark and demonstrate massive potential.
Next week we'll be heading down to the Haymarket Hotel for the awards night, where we'll find out who is our overall winner. He or she will be whisked off to Sir Richard Branson's Centre for Entrepreneurship for an intense programme of mentoring and skills workshop (and the odd safari trip, I'm sure).
What's interesting looking at the shortlist is the breadth of business problems that are being solved. And almost all of them find new ways of using data or digital content and turning it into something useful for consumers or businesses.

When we started working with Talent, the Australian-based CEO Richard Earl told us that the UK - and London in particular - is widely admired around the world for its tech start up scene. A few months ago, the Wall Street Journal asked the question, "Is London overtaking Silicon Valley in Tech Growth?" It feels like we're doing something right.
These awards - and others that exist in the market - serve to remind us of the potential of the tech market in the UK, and help to highlight those people who are doing their bit to effect change.
Here's the Talent Unleashed shortlist in full. Stay tuned to @UK_Talent and @Firefly_Comms to find out who wins.
The judging panel for the awards includes Virgin boss Sir Richard Branson; executive director of digital in the Cabinet Office, Mike Bracken; Telefonica’s head of channel, Jennifer Rigby; founder of Rewired State and Young Rewired State, Emma Muqueeny; Balderton Capital principal, Rob Moffat; Nate Lanxon, editor at Wired.co.uk; and Talent founder, Richard Earl.
The awards were open to UK-based technologists and entrepreneurs and were nominated by industry peers, technology incubators and individually via the Talent Unleashed website. The UK awards follow the Talent Unleashed awards held in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore and Hong Kong.
