Use of PR & Media Firms

We're waiting for Jamie Mann to read recent responses and update the status.

Dear The Glasgow School of Art,

In excel spreadsheet form, please list any public relations, communications, media consultancy or lobbying firms hired by your organisation in the last five years:

Please provide:

– The name of the firm (or individual/freelancer)
– The contract number
– The start and end date of each contract
– The amount of money paid to each firm (including VAT)
–The remit/purpose of the hire, and detail of what activities they undertook for your organisation

Dear The Glasgow School of Art,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of The Glasgow School of Art's handling of my FOI request 'Use of PR & Media Firms'.

I believe that the use of funds by a public body for PR activity is in the public interest and any commercial sensitivity concerns would be outweighed in a public interest test.

Yours faithfully,

Jamie Mann
