Chris Brogan, he the man.
Posted September 29th, 2011 by Al Fox. No Comments
Chris is a big cheese in social media circles. He’s from that America and speaks professionally with Fortune 100 and 500 companies like PepsiCo, General Motors & Microsoft on the future of business communications and social software technologies. He is a New York Times bestselling co-author of Trust Agents, and a featured monthly columnist at Entrepreneur Magazine. So guess where we saw Chris talk? Doncaster. Please have a look at his stuff if you have a minute; it’s insightful, generous and wise. The thing we like most about Chris is the fact that he’s visited the UK lots, has been to that mecca of civilisation, Doncaster, but has never once been to London. Mr Brogan, our cap is doffed.

Ahh SME’s - a surprising number of businesses have dipped their toe in to the water of social media – with some really embracing the medium. Recently a SME business network commented that many small businesses are now actively using social media and are not afraid of having a go. Great to hear. Continue reading

Ahhh the 1980s had it all, but as Ben is still in his twenties, the music of this decade was largely ignored in favour of him playing A-Team and Air Wolf games. Recently though, I’ve been very concerned after catching him playing Spandau Ballet’s ‘Gold’ on repeat, and then positively shocked after discovering a Chicago CD in his car. Continue reading

Mignon Potenza is a real estate agency in Italy specialising in the international buyers’ market. They are exhibiting at a number of expos across the UK this year, so to ensure they make the maximum impact and secure millions of enquiries for Italian property, we’ve been working on this ‘trulli’ stunning exhibition stand and supporting literature. BTW Trulli is Italian for….oh, never mind. In addition to the stand and the graphics, we produced corporate literature and property particulars, as well as this ultra-useful ‘Top Tips for Buying Property in Italy’ video (which is also great for SEO purposes!).
