SocialMediaCamp London '09

Photo by Bash Last weekend I spent the day at SocialMediaCamp London 09 – organised by the tireless Vero Pepperrell and stacked with a variety of interesting discussions. Vero herself led an open discussion on “PR agencies want your soul”. Most of us there were on both sides at once – being bloggers ourselves while […]

MeasurementCamp, one year on

On Thursday the week before last, we were proud to host MeasurementCamp on its one year anniversary (if you’re interested in the details, Jordan Stone and Kevin Maguire have written up the event) Billed as ‘an open source movement to make sense of social media measurement’, it sprung out of a panel discussion on measuring […]

Marketing 2.0 – Day 2 highlights

Over the last few years, social media has had a huge impact on my life. From discovering blogs to meeting a tremendous amount of very interesting people through social networking (to the extent of quitting my last job to work in social media!). And the two days at the Marketing 2.0 conference were no different […]
