Notes

The research is sponsored by an ESRC fellowship (RES-070-27-0035). More details about this research are available at www.celebrityanddevelopment.wordpress.com. Unless otherwise stated the sources referred to are interviews conducted with celebrity liaison officers in the US and UK NGO sectors.

Indeed the possibilities of corporates getting free access to talent poses significant risks to the commercial interests (agents and managers) looking after their time, and could jeopardise the good relations celebrity liaison officers work so hard to build with the celebrity sector. At least two large NGOs have drawn up written guidelines as to how to avoid that state of affairs (sources 61, 71).
