Best of Brian Berkman

PR-Net's founder and Cape Town publicist Brian Berkman has released his Best of the Best list, including short-form reviews collected from his writings in The Cape Times, GQ and Conde Nast House & Garden magazines as well as PR industry specific commendations like Best Hotel Publicist, Best launch Event and off-the-wall items like Best Hotel for A Secret Affair and Most Embarrassing Hotel Moment.

16 Feb 2006

Taking a leaf from Vogue Magazine's Anna Wintour's book, Berkman has decided to share his personal shopping habits with readers although he pithily remarks that he 'paid for the items on his list'.

Brian Berkman's Best of the Best list is designed as an easy-to-print and fold pocket guide to everything from the Best Deal to the Ultimate Luxury. To download, click on http://brianberkman.com/images/Best_of_Best_2006.pdf
