Awareness

A wide open, spacious yet succinct word. A possible and hopeful notion. A gargantuan message. If you were aware..things would’ve always been different. Dig deep. Make yourself aware. Of it all. #awareness #Brand #lifeskills #marketingtips

Look Further…

You could live on a small Island for years and still come across the undiscovered if you open your eyes and really see. How many times have you taken pictures of somewhere when you’re away to show your friends where you’ve been? Let me guess, ‘this is the view’ ‘this is the bedroom’…’check out what I ate for dinner’! That’s OK..but have you given a thought to your poor friend who has to look through these images?…How many of you would actually take photos of elements of your

The importance of social in business #SMWLDN

I wanted to draw your attention to a couple of questions that have popped up as they have been on mind for quite some time. And that is; how important social is in business. It seemed to be the biggest point made on Monday at various talks. I am flagging this up today because many clients and brands I have come across or worked with this year, still don’t realize this. Some do, some understand they have to have it, but don’t get the bigger picture, which is that social is on

BRAND: What is it and why do you need one?

Like a teenager when they first start secondary school, in those years before they leave to start work, they develop, find their individuality, likes and dislikes work out how they want to look, feel and think and then embark out on their journey into the real world with a set of associations that make them who they are, still learning, developing and growing. This is brand. Now a brand can be built in a day, contrary to most professionals, but to ‘create’ a brand with a begi

LOVE LOVE LOVE the @UKVolkswagen Social Media Campaign

You see, what Volkswagen have done with their new site onething.com is they have got their head around what their customers want. We are bored with watching ads. We have seen a trillion, fairly decent looking cars driving through a dessert with a top bird or hot spanish guy at the wheel, (with possibly a crisp white cotton shirt slightly open to the chest and a bead of sweat on his brow, Ahem.) Anyway – the point is, the ads are not relevant anymore. The VW target market, wh

5 Things To Remember At the End of Your Blog Year

For me, this task is similar to doing my tax returns. I dread it. I detest it. It’s like a summer holiday without the sun, chips without salt and vinegar..a Sunday roast without a Yorkshire pudding. Oh you get the picture. Ahem. Still it IS a necessity. Unfortunately. Necessary for a number of reasons. To work out an honest assessment of where you sit among competitors and to not make the same mistakes you made this year! To improve. So don’t shy away from it. Face tho

The only steps you’ll need when writing an effective marketing strategy

Well, if you are like me and despise the word ‘strategy’ but realise its’ importance within most long term goals, you will understand that there are several steps in which to take to make sure you reach those goals or get as near as dammit!

Building Your Brand Online…Part 2

Exactly. Just start with a ‘Please’ or “Thank You!’. They go a long, long way. INTERACTING with people and becoming your own living brand ambassador is the only way forward. You represent what you are selling/promoting etc and within your social media circles, you can start telling the story of what your brand is and where it is going.
