I don't know how to snapshot the tweet but an Australian PR business called Tonic Public Relations has tweeted Clarence Mitchell is receiving bids for exclusives of the 10th anniversary next year. Apparently he got 400 bids when she first went missing. I was never in any doubt about her disappearance being a money-making business but this blatancy just beggars belief.

How do they know Madeleine will still be missing on the 10th anniversary?
This is just the same as Gerry coming up with his plans for future anniversaries when Madeleine first disappeared.
To do this just proves they know she's not coming back.

Madeleine McCann family PR advisor said he had to ‘think like a journalist’ to keep the story in press for nine years
The man who has kept the disappearance of toddler Madeleine McCann in the news for the past nine years said he managed to do so by looking at the case through the eyes of a journalist.
Speaking on the challenges of dealing with what became one of the biggest news stories in the world at the time, Clarence Mitchell revealed to the CommsCon Conference in Sydney, it was “the first big missing child case of the internet age”.
Explaining how he handled the initial issues posed by a press pack of 3-400 international reporters, former BBC reporter Mitchell explained: “I had to look at it as a journalist would – pose the questions a journalist would ask. If you’re half-way to answering those questions you are half-way to getting good coverage.”
After the four-year-old was snatched from her hotel room at a Portuguese resort while her parents dined at a nearby restaurant, Mitchell said it became “like a daily soap opera” as it was “a story that shocked the world and continues to shock”, leading the media to bay for more headlines to feed public interest in the case.
He explained how turf wars developed between local and international press, and how he had had reporters in tears begging for extra information otherwise they ‘would be fired’, leading to stories containing “wild allegations” in the media against parents Kate and Jerry McCann.
Mitchell said the family were initially reluctant to go legal for fear of getting the press offside, but have ultimately taken action against several papers in the UK and Portugal, which Mitchell said: “Did set a marker, we were reluctant to go legal, and the British media calmed down and they have been a lot more responsible since then.”
The family has had more than 550,000 pounds in damages paid out to the foundation, which helps to fund the ongoing search for Madeleine.
Ultimately Mitchell said his job was to try and bring reporters back to the central message – the hunt for Madeleine – and “not the wider family soap opera which was developing around it”.
Asked how he had kept the story, which has had thousands of front page articles around the world, in the public attention, he explained: “We were aware early on there could be a boredom threshold with members of the public – as awful as that sounds.
“News desks did start to say they need something different, and that’s where the age-progressed images were important and gave us new hooks to create more interest in it.”
He said he avoided exclusivity with papers as “that would have backfired spectacularly” saying they key was to get as much publicity as possible.
“Later on, as the appetite began to wane on a daily basis we had to be a bit more imaginative”, pointing to a segment on the second anniversary on the Oprah Winfrey show which showed how they produce the age-progressed images of Madeleine. He added they also insist on campaign materials being used in every story about Madeleine.
“For something that’s running as an ongoing issue you need everyone on board,” he added.

Mitchell insists campaign materials are included in every news story about Madeleine
Explaining how he approached working with journalists, he explained: “A legitimate tier-one journalist, if they have a good relationship with you, will hear you out, it doesn’t mean they will change their story, but they will give you a fair hearing.”
He also explained how “there’s too little investigative journalism” as “a lot of news desks have turned into cut-and-paste because of the constant monster of the internet”.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
“If I knew the journalists and they knew me and I could say here’s the truth of the situation then they’d give me a fair hearing.”
But he warned: “There’s no such thing as ‘off the record’ any more. If you don’t want to see it in print and on the air, don’t say it.
“I would ask understanding as to why we couldn’t get into that today, but it will become clear. Or I’d say ‘if you don’t print that today, I’m promising you you will have something better on Friday’.
“That worked with media I knew. With the Portuguese media I didn’t know from Adam I had to be more careful.”

He must be pretty confident of "Operation Grange" winding down in his clients favour or has he has just stated,"there is no off the record anymore" will this statement come back to bite him on the proverbial, I really hope so,"Ask the Dogs' Sandra"melisande wrote:"He also explained how “there’s too little investigative journalism” as “a lot of news desks have turned into cut-and-paste because of the constant monster of the internet”."

Receiving bids for the 10th anniversary next year. Let's see how much they get (if they agree) in the 2018 accounts.
Good question up thread about how they know that Maddie will still be missing. Will SY be asking them that question I wonder?

Yes, there's probably a TM planning group already discussing the 10th anniversary. Bids? It's morally disgusting, just like the circus surrounding this case. Millions of pounds are being spent by the police in the UK on the investigation into MBM's disappearance while the parents exploit any opportunity to fill their own pockets. Why are they allowed to profit from a crime? They should hand over all money from their bogus fund for a non-existent search to the Home Office. What a cess-pit they all inhabit.
I feel outraged reading smug Mitchell's comments. Poor Madeleine.

If you ask me, Clarence Mitchell would be well advised to just shut up and disappear off the podium - at least on the subject of Madeleine McCann, or more to the point her parents. He's dead right on one thing - he stuck on his best journalist hat when he took over the helm as media monitor.
He says 'the story of Madeleine McCann shocked the world and continues to do so today' but Madeleine's disappearance is no more shocking than that of any other child. Even parental abduction is traumatic in it's own right. The 'shocking' is how and why this case was privileged to so much media coverage - over and above all else. I'm not even convinced that the media were baying for more information to feed the public, indeed I believe it was clan McCann aided and abetted by Mitchell who were baying to feed the media with misinformation for onward transmission to the public. The very thing he boasts about controlling.
In the early days press coverage of the case was far from favourable, even after Mitchell's intervention, which makes me wonder what his true purpose was. Maybe the negative reportage was only a ruse to screw certain newspaper groups for thousands of quids by way of out of court settlements - petty cash to the wealthy news magnates but a nice little earner for the recipient.
If he's trying to use the case of Madeleine McCann to further his career in the glitzy world of PR, he's a bigger fool than I've ever thought him to be - and that's saying something. I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole unless it was to catapault him into the Grand Union Canal along with all the other junk.

So he's still on a retainer? No conscience or morals or sense of justice.

Mitchell's media connections initially prevented the truth from emerging, allowing Team McCann to net a 'begging bowl' fortune, which under the lying circumstances was no mean feat! However his 'big booted' bullying and unbridled greed have been a double edged sword.
The advent of social media has thwarted Mitchell's 24/7 attempts to promote the McCanns and push them into VIP status, and their shameful actions on that ill fated night continue to be brought to the fore and discussed on a daily basis.
