The great game

Photo: Phil Sheard Last Tuesday NMK ran a debate entitled “What Happens to Online PR” – it was packed full of the great and good of ‘Online PR’ and, aside from the debate, it was a great to have a chance to catch-up with everyone. The evening has already been covered in depth by Roger […]

The death of the microsite, act IV

It’s been a while since I last wrote about the death of the microsite, but this week there’s been some comment worth noting on the subject. Firstly Martin Kelley on O’Reilly Broadcast: With the rise of the real-time update streams being popularized by Facebook, Twitter and FriendFeed, users are becoming accustomed to a constantly-changing flow […]

Social media overtakes email

The latest Nielsen report’s “Global Faces and Networked Places” highlights social media as the global consumer phenomenon of 2008: two-thirds of the world’s internet population now visit a social network or a blogging site and social media accounts for 10% of the overall internet time. So much so that social media has now overtaken personal […]

Our new recruits

A few weeks ago Chris introduced you to our fancy new headquarters, but today’s blog post is all about people! We have a team of five-star account executives that you probably all discovered through our Flickr photostream already but I thought today was a good time as any to introduce them properly. Ladies first… Melina […]

Twitter’s traffic still on the rise

Last week, Twitter was the 50th most […]

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 […]

Public service announcement

I have a feeling Sandrine’s report from day 2 of the Marketing 2.0 conference in Paris may be a little late:

Marketing 2.0 – Day 1 highlights

Some of us weren’t lucky enough to get a chance to meet ‘la crème de la crème’ of social media at SXSW, but after my first day at the Marketing 2.0 Conference in Paris, I feel that I’ve had the chance to mingle with some of the top social media and marketing people. Shame the WiFi was […]

Watch and Tweet live

This evening ITV are conducting an experiment in the combination of social media and TV watching. At 7:20pm, they’re broadcasting the first episode of the new series of Primeval live on their website, with a live Twitter feed of the #primeval hashtag underneath. The idea being it allows people to react to and discuss the […]

Newspapers and thinking the unthinkable

When someone demands to know how we are going to replace newspapers, they are really demanding to be told that we are not living through a revolution. They are demanding to be told that old systems won’t break before new systems are in place. They are demanding to be told that ancient social bargains aren’t […]
