Fire PR has been appointed by Science Photo Library to handle PR & social media activity – in support of an upcoming photo exhibition at The Royal Albert Hall: Poyekhali! Yuri Gagarin & The Dawn of Space Exploration

This photo exhibition will showcase rare photographs from the archives of RIA Novosti – Russia’s leading news agency. The collection tells the story of Gagarin’s early life, his historic flight, his visit to the UK in July 1961 and the fame that followed, until his untimely death in 1968.

Stu Campbell, MD at Fire PR said: “Poyekhali means ‘off we go!’ and that’s exactly how I feel about winning this ground-breaking opportunity.”

Fire PR has been appointed on a project basis, for an undisclosed sum, following a closed pitch process.
