Quick Q’s with… Christabel!
Quick Q’s with… is the series of articles that introduces you to the members and staff that make up Square Works, but with some fun questions, rather than the boring usual ones.
So, let’s start then shall we…
Who are you?
Christabel (Bella) - self-proclaimed (although endorsed by Kevin and Kai) Square Works ‘founding member’ 😊
What company are you with?
Company founder and director at Bells & Whistles PR
What is it that you do?
I’m a publicist, marketeer, brand guardian and strategist for a number of clients
When you are old, what do you think children will ask you to tell stories about?
Working in an entertainment PR company in London in the 00’s (celebrity gossip, long champagne lunches, smoking while sending press releases by fax, and general tales of debauchery) – IF I can still remember 😉
What is a piece of creative work that you love and why?
The 1986 film ‘Betty Blue’ – it’s crazy, poetic, raw and iconic, and will make you want to have a passionate love affair in France.
Authors Note: I did my research on this one and watched the film. I very much agree with Christabel here, such a beautiful story.
What’s wrong but sounds right?
If this is like a guilty pleasure, it’s eating sushi in bed.
Finally, can you give us a random quote that you know?
I love (and try to live by) the Shakespeare quote (from Hamlet), “To thine own self be true”. It basically means ‘be true to yourself’; try not to worry too much about pleasing others or living by someone else’s rules or standards. Live as your natural self, without compromise. I think Elizabeth Taylor’s infamous quote, “Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together” will be going on my tombstone.
So, now you know a bit more about Christabel. If you ever have any questions for her, what to know more about antic of the 00’s, or want to chat to her about Betty Blue, you can message her through the portal, or catch her at the next Prosecco Thursday!
