Two brands with similar engagement and similar fan numbers take two different approaches to a ‘seasonal’ post in the states on Martin Luther King Day (16^th Jan).

Check out their approach and the drastically different engagement results. It’s interesting how perhaps Subway just tried a little too hard, but Walmart’s simplicity won over…

"Engaging the 7 Billion": Speakers and info about our @EdelmanDigital #Mobile panel at #SMWLDN

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 14:21:08 +0000

Facebook has 800 million users. Social media reaches 1.2 billion people. But what is the only medium connecting 80% of the world population today?

Here at Edelman, we have been working with global brands for years to make social and digital media a central part of their marketing and communications strategy. Now that half of Facebook and Twitter interaction happens on mobile devices, and mobile penetration is five times that of social media, it’s time to take a closer look at how Mobile can be used to evolve the conversation between consumers and brands.

“Engaging the 7 Billion” looks beyond our obsession with Facebook, Twitter and smartphones to a world in which mobile phones are able to connect brands with the 7 billion people that walk this earth. From SMS to BBM, from two-screen experiences to mobile payments, this session is about connecting the dots between feature phones, smartphones and social networks to uncover a path towards global communication and marketing solutions.

I am very excited to explore the opportunities of mobile technology with a panel of thought leaders and leading innovators in the space.

Quention Blake exhibition opens next week at the Foundling Museum in London - I'm going!

Thu, 12 Jan 2012 09:55:00 +0000

where
Foundling Museum, 40 Brunswick Square, WC1N 1AZ
Location Map

when
Tues - Sat: 10am - 5pm, Sun: 11am - 5pm

how much
£7.50 (£5 concessions)
exhibition
Quentin Blake

Maybe it’s because I am a child of the 70s, but this exhibition is pressing all my retro buttons. The work of the truly wonderful Quentin Blake will be on display at the Foundling Centre slap-bang in the heart of literary London. Fans of Roald Dahl’s work will recognise Quentin Blake’s illustrations (say BFGto me and Blake’s nobble-nosed creation springs to mind immediately); he has also illustrated numerous works of famous poets and authors: notably the eccentric and brilliant Michael Rosen. This expo shows over 60 works by the first ever children’s Laureate, and is a collection of four series designed for children’s hospitals in the UK. If you know his stuff, go see it and appreciate your childhood all over again. If not? You are missing out my friend. Go see. / Dexterous Diva
