I must have had a good script writer! Interview: Roger Pride on Nation Branding, Wales and Heavenly placebrandobserver.com/interview-roge…

Thanks for the talk @rogerpride I really enjoyed it and despite the lack of cheesecake and doughnuts could have listened to you for much longer! ☺️ #cimevents

🤯Does branding need a rebrand? This - and other big questions posed by @rogerpride at today's #CIMEvents Marketing Strategy Masterclass.

@Junellen33 You're fecking barmy.

Nice to see Treharris and the Old Athletic Ground in this film promoting the bid for Euro 2028. #togetherstronger #UKireland2028

There are benefits from living in the “middle of nowhere”. The luxury of peace and tranquility on a nearby 2468ft peak. The Cambrian Mountains of Wales - Area of Astounding Natural Beauty 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @visitwales @croesocymru @LandscapesWales @GrowingMidWales @BradtGuides @rogerpride

It can be hard to understand the scale of the challenges facing Wales. This in turn makes it harder to hold decision makers to account for their poor management of Cymru. I have put together some maps to help you get your head around our country. Let's have a look. [Thread]

Hard to argue with this. But the idiots still will.

When the sun sits on top of the mountain and lights the sky orange, is a special moment. #Raremoments.

@ceritheviking Sorry, "voluntary" was the wrong word. I meant each BID is voted for or against by the businesses. (as you know!).

@rogerpride And industrial bids. Not sure if wales has one of them. And if agreed they aren’t voluntary. All have to pay once voted on. Worked in this area quite a bit.

Why is a tourism tax that much of the tourism world use the hill that welsh conservatives want to die on ? So many sticks they could use to beat the welsh gov with and they choose this. With no useful evidence base behind why either.

@Britain_People Looks like he's generating his own heat.

Tory MP Edward Leigh claimed #expenses of £2,332 for heating last year and £2,474 the previous year. Retweet if you think he should pay his own utility bills.

@ceritheviking BIDs are voluntary too. Albeit that with traditional BIDs, it's the business that pays the levy. In England there are now Destination BID's and Tourism BIDs not just town/city centre BIDs.

@rogerpride Exactly. We have business improvement districts all over the place now and not a whisper on those. Why tourism ?

Sun-kissed valley @TreharrisF this morning talking grassroots football facilities and our @UEFA EURO 28 bid with @vaughangething & @Dawn_Bowden ☀️ 😎 #TogetherStronger 💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @FAWales @Cymru @sportwales

@BluesNigel I paid that guy's fine after the Vetch incident. True

It was a day to forget on Saturday but that mascot kid who ran to the Swansea fans staring them down pointing at his Cardiff badge was the funniest thing on the pitch by one of ours since the guy who got ... erm ... very amorous with their Swan at The Retch. What a hero! 😄

@ceritheviking I'd go with Bedlinog. Used to play cricket for them.

The south wales valleys can still throw me a few curve ball surprises. A different route down from the heads of the valleys today. and in the heart of industrial wales you could be in the rural mid. Any guesses?

Great to see so many businesses using the "Area of Astounding Natural Beauty" brand in their marketing.
