Personality. Droning is an attention killer. Right now for research purposes only I’m listening to a podcast that is purportedly designed to give you tips on public speaking. The podcaster has one tone – a dull one. I’m questioning the interest level of the broadcaster, so why should I bother listening to the content. Behind [...]

Are you harnessing ‘free’? Focused on cost efficiencies, maybe even saving thousands of pounds annually by using complimentary products on the ‘net?
If you’re not, you’re definitely missing a trick. There are so many ways to reach out for new market opportunities with pennies or even just your time. Social media, anyone? And what about all [...]

I realised today I’m a complete addict to SME success. It made me sweat with excitement. I genuinely felt incredible joy at being a marketing geek, but being happy in my skin and proud to be able to work with some of you incredible people.

Well folks, if we are to believe the hype/surveys (judge for yourself which of the words separated by a slash are the most plausible) then web users are becoming even less focused on the job in hand.
