I learned this week of the term Madtech. Marketing and advertising technology. It's good to see that cobbler's child syndrome is alive and well in the world; they might as well call it Sales, Hustling, Interrupting and Tracking Tech. Thing is, for all the talk about how smart marketing is becoming, driven by big data … Continue reading Retargeted

For some time now I've been toying with the idea of writing a recipe book. Not recipes for food, but instead for how to manage and lead in organisations in the early 21st; a time where technology is changing, to a lesser or greater extent, how we communicate, and how we operate. Mostly this is … Continue reading 21st Century Management recipe cards
A frequent refrain in UK election coverage at the moment is that this is the UK's first "Social Media" election. The truth is that five years is an awfully long time in media and technology these days, and the dynamics of communications for this year's ballot are vastly different to the last... The Social Media … Continue reading The (insert Tech buzzword) Election

The … Continue reading Building an employer brand
This lunchtime I'm doing a short workshop with a group of graduate schemers at one of my current clients. You can see what I'll be talking about here...
So what's the point of all this social network stuff, eh? It's just sharing pictures of cats and avoiding doing proper work, isn't it? Well, for some that's undeniable. And for some of us, some of the time, it's probably true as well. But I thought I'd do a bit of an ROI analysis of … Continue reading The power of the network
In 1993, in the spring of my final year at university, I stood for election to become the President of the Student Union at Loughborough. On election night, with a turn out of around 1,000 votes, I lost by a margin of about seven. I've never stood in a popular ballot since then. I learned … Continue reading Elected
Since the summer of 2013 I've been doing a regular investigation into the social networking habits of the FTSE100 companies, and in particular of their CEOs. Next week will see the publication of the sixth edition, and some of the highlights coming from the analysis so far include: 33 CEOs now have LinkedIn profiles of … Continue reading #socialCEO January 2015
I've become slightly obsessed with the distinction between social networks and social media. I don't know if I'm the only one, but it strikes me that social media is what organisations tend to do, whilst the advantage of all this wonderful technology to us as individuals lies in social networks. Networking is what us humans do. Well, some … Continue reading Why network?
