In light of my decision to inject personality, I thought I’d highlight a few of the things that don’t really show me for who I am… Lets start at the beginning (it’s a very good place to start – no, I’m not a sound of music fan, but girlfriend/lodger is!!).
This is a post for those of you that I haven’t met, spoken to on the phone or emailed kind of regularly. This post is giving me a bit of grief. Let me explain…
OK, so everyone thinks that they’ve nailed the art of measuring emerging media. No one has. And personally, I don’t think that anyone ever will. If I suggested you read the Hunter S. Thompson biography written by Johnny Depp, and we’re pretty good friends, would you calculate how likely that is to happen on a [...]
As some of you may already know, I was off the grid for most of this week and spent five days in Center Parcs with my friends. It’s been the first time I’ve been (almost) totally offline since I went travelling and I was a bit apprehensive really – I know, I know.
This is a Dom Whitehurst inspired post – see his sizable selection of drawings. I thought I’d try and highlight how I use each social network to interact with my different social circles.
Adam Lewis has tagged me in his Meme for PR hopefuls which I think is an excellent way to help prospective PRO’s understand the industry. So, here is my advice (albeit from a years industry experience)…
Ok, so the link from James Corden to Martin Luther King isn’t exactly obvious, in fact there isn’t a link at all other than I love both quotes… “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” [...]
I’ve been blogging for over six months now, in that time I’ve build up a pretty decent readership and quite a few subscribers – I must be doing something right I suppose. Either that or my rants are amusing. What does it mean though? It’s fine and dandy letting people in the industry know who [...]
#DEVILS ADVOCATE POST# I know that I’ve written a post about this before, but I felt it necessary to write a quick post on this. I’m purely playing the Devils advocate and I am in no way suggesting that it’s good for quality PR professionals to lose their jobs. I came across the Bristol Editor [...]
After Ged Carroll tagged me in his Christmas reading meme and I read each of the books I listed, I’ve realised that I find it more compelling to actually get around to doing something when I’ve written it down either on here or on twitter. I figure that if I put it here, I might [...]
So modern communication is killing the literary art form, eh (I heard someone say it on Radio Four)? You think that email has ruined the handwritten letter and text message abbreviations are destroying our wonderful language? It hasn’t.
So, as 2009 dawns (I promise that’s the last time I write that, honest) and we look to a rather lean year ahead, I’m posing a contentious question; Where does social media actually fit in a business?
Enough is enough. The UK government need to do one of two things; shut up pretending to understand the ideologies of the internet and modern communication or actually sit down and learn something about the online world after 1990. In the last three months we’ve had four incidents…
