Recently in the UK marketing publication Campaign, author, serial agency founder and regular columnist Dave Trott wrote about what he thought about the future of content in Content, Content, Content. In the article he rather glumly recalls a discussion during a future of content event; No-one defined it because, to everyone else, it didn’t seem important..

Your customer experience is global — just ask your local chippy
Roberto Savvides manages The Regency, a “chippy” (a fish and chip shop) in Brighton (a seaside town in the UK). Roberto rolls up the sleeves of his crisp white shirt and opens the doors of this modest restaurant for lunch and watches as the customers trickle in. Recently it’s been more than a trickle and..
If You Get Social Media Engagement; Say My Name..
Last week I had a splendid experience flying British Airways. I am shallow enough to admit that on this occasion “splendid experience” does indeed include an upgrade, but it doesn’t always with BA. I am also not naive enough to know that my nice treatment is not down to my smile, but the commercial reality..
On Online Surveys: Rich Hall – Marketing Genius
If you don’t know Rich Hall, he is an American comedian who’s also done quite a lot of stuff on UK TV. A very funny fellow, who I now believe is an online marketing genius. Why do I think he’s an online marketing genius? Is it that he sells a gazzillion DVDs or the iTunes..
Personality goes a long way….
In this post I would like to explore personality in content marketing and the digital customer experience, but I am going to start with my kettle. Moving into a new house from the UK, we found ourselves needing a new kettle. Not much in that, I’m English, I drink tea, so I am bound to..

This blog post is inspired by an excellent conversation I had with my colleague Scott Liewehr a few days ago, about the challenges of managing multiple sites – that ended with the comment “that sounds like a great blog post”. So here we are, while the inspiration is still warm – allow me to wheel..
Christmas.. I mean Holiday Blog Post
I have been asked to write a Christmas or holiday themed post, now I don’t normally write what I am asked, especially when it sounds this, well lets be honest – cheesy – but, if you bear with me, I think I can do it. So, web content management, persuasive content, customer engagement and the..
Google – The New Citizen Engagement Portal
Recently I was fortunate enough to meet with David Pullinger from the UK governments Central Office of Information (COI), who are driving our government’s citizen engagement strategy and mandating the policy around which government must adhere to. It was an incredibly absorbing meeting as we took a fast ride around all elements of where a..
Personal Brand or Not Wanting to Looking Like a Total Cock
When reading and talking about Social Media I see a lot of conversations about Personal Brand. Discussion about strategies, building and maintaining your ‘PB’, of who you should try to be, who defines your PB (is it you, your audience, your company?), when, in real life, whisper it quietly, the aspiration for most people I..
A Meme Challenge – 10 things about me
Kas Thomas has been at it again, this time throwing down a personal meme gauntlet, by sharing 10 things about himself and tagging his blogroll to do the same, but I carelessly tweeted about it and soon him and Irina Guseva tagged me and having been double dared – now I am in. So… here are..
