Prior to working in music PR Darren had over twenty years campaigning and media experience working in full-time politics – including frequent media appearances and organising campaigns and publicity for the Green Party. That gave him a wealth of experience in managing successful campaigns and securing major media publicity on comparatively tiny budgets against major, much better resourced rivals.
