    A few social, search and mobile trends for 2012

      I am not usually a big fan of prediction posts, particularly when it comes to social, but recently spotted a handful of predictions by industry experts worth mentioning.   Without further ado, here are a handful interesting social, search and mobile trends for 2012. These 3 disciplines are inextricably interlinked, yet too often siloed, so I figured I would sum them all up in one...

    Using social content to drive sales through search

    There’s a very wrong assumption floating around the heads of many CMO’s and small business owners alike, that having a Facebook page and Twitter profile is enough, because social media is this new and wonderful thing which is going ‘to do wonders’ for your brand. I am sure we’ve all had clients who have asked for thousands of fans and followers, as quickly as possible without any content, or budget to create conte...

    Blogfest 2011 - Topshop's smart Tumblr strategy

    Here is at long last, my first entry for the Bathroom Blogfest 2011 on how Topshop uses to Tumblr to 'climb out'. I do promise I'll put up a bathroom related post tomorrow for fun though! Here we go! Brands have embraced social media as a means to 'climb out' and 'hang out' with their fans on social networks.

I absolutely love a good infographic or a good mashup/data visualisation. There’s something fascinating about turning something totally dull such as raw data into something people want to play with and share.

Music streaming service We7 have created a really cool interactive map representing  the most downloaded and streamed artists in the UK over the past 12 months, across a number of genres including R&B, pop, alternative  and rock but to name a few. The best bit is that you can stream the artists directly from the map. Have a listen!

In attempt to diversify the content of this blog, I’ve decided to start writing about my other interests in life… Besides there’s nothing wrong in indulging in a little easy blogging now and again, right?

I absolutely love Fergie’s singing to club sounds, a far cry from her Black Eyed Peas tunes.

OK, fair enough, I might have gotten a little over excited when I saw David Guetta using Twitter in the clip Happy listening!

You may remember I recently blogged about Girls Who Rock, a benefit concert with an amazing line up of recorded artists which took place in NYC earlier this month. The video of the event is now available, and I have to say that the gig looked amazing!

The benefit concert was produced for She’s the First, a US-based association, which promotes the importance of educating girls, especially in the developing world. She’s the first sponsor girls around the globe by encouraging young women to unlock the power of their social networks, and creatively fundraise, giving underprivileged girls the means to break barriers More >
