About

Bio

Don't Believe The Hype is a blog that features “stories about fatherhood, fashion, funk & foolishness. made for dads who like to dress & dance like a don & laugh about things they really shouldn’t”.  Sections on the blog include: Fatherhood, Funk, Interviews, Reviews, Fashion, Film and Worthing. The blog posts are written by Dan Flanagan. Dan Flanagan is a "forty something dapper, hat-wearing, tea-drinking, part time revolutionary from the South Coast. Having spent the last twenty years working in PR and Digital Marketing for a range of international brands", he quit his job to spend more time with his family. His blog has been featured on SkyArts, The Frank Skinner TV Show, BBC South East, BBC Radio Sussex, Buzzfeed, Medium, Post40Bloggers, LoveAllDads, SohoRadio, TheNewfamily amongst many others. Now Dan has taken a step back to focus on the publications expansion. Editor, Ruth Harrison Roberts, now looks after editorial enquiries.  PR opportunities include news, reviews and interviews related to lifestyle, men's interest, music and parenting. Dan states 'I am always open to hearing about opportunities for potential campaigns, product reviews, or adventures that my son will love. However, it has to be about something that I would actually spend my money or energy on. If it isn’t then I won’t waste mine or your time producing content that neither of us is proud of. After all, what’s the point in believing in the concept of Don’t Believe The Hype and then lying? I don’t do that in my day job and I am certainly not going to do it on something my son will one day read'.  Dan can be reached at dan@dbthsocial.co.uk. For further information on the branded content requirements, visit the website here. In their own words: Don’t Believe The Hype is the natural home for “young” dads on the verge of midlife and style crisis. As one of them, rather than suck my belly in or have an affair, I thought I’d write some stories to make them laugh, cry and enjoy taking a sideways look at life.  I want to share some views, let off some steam about some of my passions; family life, fashion, funk and foolishness. Basically anything that catches my eyes, ears, nose or throat. It’s a general muse of reviews, news, views and things to do’s to keep you, your dancing shoes and the nippers from going bananas. Don't Believe the Hype can also be found on Mixcloud here.
