How we helped the Bladebone Inn get in the newspapers

Today’s newspapers (well, at least the online versions that I saw) carried a story about a pub in Berkshire where the owner’s riposte to a negative TripAdvisor review had gone viral.  You can see the story in both The Telegraph and the Daily Mail.

It seems that the viral effect was caused by two tweets myself and Aren Grimshaw sent out last week linking to the review:

I first saw the review and landlord’s response on Facebook when Aren commented that it was interesting that nobody was liking or commenting on this post on Facebook, yet he had put the same content on Twitter and it had started to generate a lot of retweets and replies.  I was curious to see if my Twitter following would also find the tweet worthy of sharing so I copy pasted Aren’s tweet and then watched as it very quickly started to also get a lot of attention.

Aren originally came across the TripAdvisor exchange when a friend on Facebook commented on someone’s profile who had shared it.  Aren then decided to also share it across his Facebook and Twitter accounts. As far as we know there were no other references to the TripAdvisor review when we shared it on Twitter, having googled it at the time with no results.

About Jonathan Lea

Jonathan is a specialist business law solicitor who has been practising for over 18 years, starting at the top international City firms before then spending some time at a couple of smaller practices. In 2013 he started working on a self-employed basis as a consultant solicitor, while in 2019 The Jonathan Lea Network became a SRA regulated law firm itself after Jonathan got tired of spending all day referring clients and work to other law firms.

The Jonathan Lea Network is now a full service firm of solicitors that employs senior and junior solicitors, trainee solicitors, paralegals and administration staff who all work from a modern open plan office in Haywards Heath. This close-knit retained team is enhanced by a trusted network of specialist consultant solicitors who work remotely and, where relevant, combine seamlessly with the central team.
