Is Snapchat right for a B2B digital marketing strategy?
Snapchat seems to be the new cool kid on the block; everyone is on there. Michelle Obama’s on there (michelleobama) promoting her recent trip to Liberia, Morocco and Spain to promotion education for girls, and at the other end of the spectrum every Kardashians is on there, every day, letting us know their every move.
Trade shows are dead! Trade up to digital marketing strategy.
My new favourite way to express a grumpy emotion is to use the word ‘cross’. If you’d told me 10 years ago I would use the word cross I would never have believed you. There’s something very mid 1970’s about ‘cross’. It brings to mind images of thick wool cardigans teamed with a neutral colour […]
How Periscope can form part of a B2B social media strategy.
I knew Periscope was a winner the day I taxied down the runway and took off in the cockpit of a WW2 Lancaster bomber.

How to spark a love match on LinkedIn
LinkedIn is billed as the social network for business, but why does it seem so hard to make a connection? I don’t know about you, but at times it kinda feels like a bar at the end of the night, with everyone talking past each other, desperate to find The One before it’s too late.
Is Facebook a waste of time for B2B businesses?
I was meeting with a client this week when he asked me this very good question: is Facebook advertising really worth it for a B2B? Why not just use LinkedIn?
