Parrot fashion? Oh no it isn’t

Please do not print press releases verbatim so blatantly in future. I was genuinely interested in the RS Components article (Case study, e-volve October 25), but the whole piece was devalued by being a barefaced plug for BroadVision (the penultimate paragraph was a dead giveaway).

No doubt its PR company had a jolly good time down the wine bar on Friday, but the lack of subtlety actually did the client no favours. We’re all supposed to be in marketing – did they think we wouldn’t notice?

Nigel Lloyd Parry’s wild allegations are completely unfounded. The references to BroadVision had nothing to do with PR manipulation and in fact resulted from questions initiated by e-volve
