Love Content? Set it Free! (It’s No Longer Yours Anyway)
I’ve been revisiting an old chestnut with a bunch of clients lately: why, where and when should we be free with our content? The answer to ‘when?’ is ‘as often as possible.’ The answer to ‘where?’ is (usually) everywhere; and the answer to ‘why?’ is neatly summed up in this PPT from Mike Ellis of Eduserve…
Social Media Planning: Informed Creativity vs Complicators vs Twankernomics
I’ve had a bunch of interesting responses from colleagues, clients and others to my recent post on Social Media and Creativity (Social Media Consulting vs Viral Advertising).

Social Media Consulting vs Viral Advertising: Can All ‘Creatives’ Please Go Back to the 80s
Social Media consulting is not an opportunity to go wild with creative-led, viral-inspired, 60-second advertising. A virus is an illness – much like a Social Media plan without a stack of analytics to back it up and a deep understanding of how Social tools actually work and why people use them.
Social Media Lessons of 2009 – We Need Re-Wiring…

PR, Social Media and Content: Talk Different. Got It?
We don’t have to build new things in PR, Social Media and Marketing if we don’t want to, we just need to use the ones that exist already and use them to talk different. Not a rocket science thought. It’s all about content, not Content. Got it?
Social SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) Through Clever Content Creation
Creating optimised ‘Social’ content to rank for key terms isn’t a new idea but the search results are becoming more eclectic …So I’d like to run through which content types regularly appear in the SERPs and how to use this content to clamber through the sweaty throng of competing pages…
Social Media ROI: the Return of Identity and the Hackett Story
Here’s another spin on the great Social Media ROI debate….Stop pretending to infuse leaders with someone else’s personality. Stop trying to distill fleeting thoughts into ghosted Think Pieces. Stop gambling on barnstorming creative virals and microsites. Stop wasting money…
Social SEO Smackdown: BING VS GOOGLE and Other Inter-Species Combat
At least two essential global inter-species combat tournaments are taking place. On the one hand, Microsoft has declared war on Google with its new(ish) search engine, Bing. On the other, a Fox is locked in an epic battle against three Azure Winged Magpies and a Chaffinch. Bite those ears off!
