Of all the companies I have worked with, Sage is right at the top for recognising the value of social engagement, not only with employees, but with its staff, suppliers and community supporters too. The perfect example of this is the Sage Summit, which makes its mark on London this week, on 5 & 6 … Continue reading
I’ll be hosting a series of events during Social Media Week, all of which are FREE to attend (yes, FREE!) Covering a wide range of topics suitable for businesses, charities, directors, managers and employees, four events will run at a number of locations all within walking distance of Old Street’s Silicone Roundabout. The events are: 23 September … Continue reading
I was invited to Arise News to discuss the impact of social media following the attack in Woolwich earlier this week. The alleged terrorists encouraged members of the public passing by to take photos and videos of them and the immediate aftermath of the attacks.
