Alisher Usmanov PR Strategy Progress Report – Vastly Increased Profile (Humourous)

20070503-free-speech-cartoon-via-citizen-arcaneA conversation allegedly overheard from 3 miles away, through an eartrumpet held the wrong way round so as to diminish the volume:

“Well, Mr Schilling, how goes our PR strategy ???”

“Er. Ahem. We are … er … generating a much higher profile on the Internet, Mr Usmanov – in fact we have achieved unprecedented coverage about your activities …”

Olga !!! Bring me my Makarov !!!”

If Mr Usmanov were employing Schillings Lawyers to generate attention for himself rather than to try and muzzle it, they would be performing very well indeed.

Here are a couple of graphs from the useful Blogpulse Service, which racks how much attention is being devoted to different topics on the blogs.

The first bulge is Alisher Usmanov buying part of Arsenal. The second bulge is the interest after Mr Usmanov used Schillings Lawyers to close down Craig Murray’s critical website.
