It is a bitter sweet pill that we swallow today as we proudly announce our placement in the Reputation Online Top 100 Agency rankings. It’s great news that we came in ranked as the number one independent for our work in this space (and number two overall). But it is unfortunately tinged with sadness as [...]
Cannes Lions is well and truly over and, with the Young Lions celebrating their latest win (along with many, many others), it’s time to look back over some of the more leading and creative thoughts that fell out of such an important conference. Back in part one I promised some thoughts on the Diageo session [...]
This is, apparently, what word of mouth is on in today’s world of global social media acceptance and growth. The source of such a huge statement? This latest video from best-selling author, Erik Qualman. Word of mouth commentary aside, if you need the latest social media stats, figures and growth patterns, then look no further. [...]
I spent yesterday afternoon in a 4-hour Developing Social Business workshop, hosted by the excellent folks at LikeMinds and attended by sterling social practitioners such as Lloyd Davis and Benjamin Ellis and a variety of brands from Stardoll to Investec.

Recycle [verb]: to treat or process (used or waste materials) so as to make suitable for reuse: [...]
Last week saw the launch of the 2011 Edinburgh Festival Fringe programme; a bumper listing of the 2,542 shows that will make up this year’s arts extravaganza in ‘the Athens of the North‘. I’m no stranger to Edinburgh in August having a) been born there and b) spent many a summer working during the Fringe [...]
I’m at the Social Media Influence conference today, taking in talks on a variety of topics such as ‘The Future of Online Listening’, ‘Social Analytics and Customer Insight’ and ‘How to Talk Your Way Out of a Crisis’.
