Social Media & Networking – Coaching & Seminars
I love helping organisations to take their first steps in blogging and online social networking but I’ve found that I have more impact “sitting on my hands” and helping you create your own social media empire than by building a bit of it for you and assuming that you’ll pick it up from there. I’m as comfortable working one-to-one as I am with small teams and speaking to large audiences. I wrote some more about this in January.

Richer Records
I get hired by conference organisers to write a blog with audio, video and still photography for a one-day or two-day event. This includes live-blogging sessions and interviews with participants and speakers throughout the day. We also do pre-conference podcasts to help build interest and buzz before the event.

Blogging inside the firewall
At the end of last year I helped out on a global knowledge management exercise within a huge international oil company. I wrote a blog about a range of marketing initiatives and illustrated it with podcasts of phone conversations with project teams and videos of senior managers, talking about why this sort of sharing was of paramount strategic importance. They liked it so much we’ve just done it all over again, only better of course.

Tuttle
I’m the founder of Tuttle (Club) a group that is co-creating a social media café for London – a place for social, learning and working activities for anyone interested in social media. Check out the blog and if you’d like to come up to a Prototyping session, just sign-up & show-up.

Social Media for Public Services
I spent (or perhaps it was invested :) ) 8 years working for the Audit Commission, and maintain an interest in how public services can be improved. As well as providing strategic advice on internal blogging, I’ve recently had the opportunity to think more about using social media in this context on behalf of Surrey PCT’s Community Health Services

Social Media Club
I’m getting Social Media Club up and running in London. This is a global loosely-joined confederation of like-minded people. In London we’ve had monthly round-table chats, and for a while we branched out into weekly practical meetups with the motto “Thursday Night is Social Media Night”

Making daft videos
Peruse my YouTube stream for examples of my work. Firm favourites are “Let’s go Mento”, and the All This… And Brains Too! series but *steer clear* of certain elements of the G-Room Review Videoblog unless you are actively seeking accidental nudity.

Facilitation
Yeah, I still like to pull my faciliation trousers on from time to time. I prefer to work in an open space or cafe style, but can do more structured sessions as required. Hey! How long is it since you had a good old PinPoint™ session?

Blogging for Theatres
I’ve recently taken on a couple of theatre clients to help them with their strategy for engaging with the community online. There are so many stories to be told about what’s going on in any theatre day-to-day and so many people who are passionately interested in hearing and talking about it, but the bulk of theatrical marketing is still about print-based advertising.
