Social Media fire-fighting… literally.

 0 Shares
Tweet

This is part 2 of my interview in Sydney with Peter Williams (@rexster), the CEO of Deloitte Digital.

I’ve already blogged about their policy and I had a bunch of other stuff I’d wanted to talk to him about. For example, Deloitte has a great relationship with the entrepreneurship program at RMIT and he’s been invited to speak at TEDxCanberra…

During the interview we got talking about social media and all of a sudden Pete was describing how he’d used it to help organise the relief effort in the town of Flowerdale after the Victorian Bushfires:

“[We used] social media and web 2.0 tools, like pbworks, blogger, vimeo and youtube, flickr to communicate, raise funds and build a temporary village and more importantly to help residents vision a safer and sustainable future.”

Social Media is the New Rock and Roll – The Hopkinson Report
This is a fascinating and well written article comparing the rebellion of rock & roll in the 60s with social media today. It’s a very interesting concept and most of it rings true, though it might all be about to change! Because…

REVIEW: Copywriting Scorecard for Bloggers ebook – 4.5 out of 5

 0 Shares
Tweet

Two of my Aussie favourite web experts – copywriter Glenn Murray aka @DivineWrite and blogger Darren Rowse aka @ProBlogger – have joined forces to write a brilliant ebook – Copywriting Scorecard for Bloggers.

Why I like it
What I like about this ebook is that it starts off by encouraging you to know your audience, brand, objectives & keywords – BEFORE you start!  This is an absolute must but too frequently overlooked by many first time bloggers.   These ideas from the “Before you start” section of the ebook are very much aligned with what we encourage in Bluewire’s One Page Web Strategy Plan.…

0% staff turnover? 400% ROI? Dollar return? – Use social media says Deloitte Digital CEO

 0 Shares

How do you measure an ROI on Social Media???

It’s not always easy to measure an ROI on Social Media, but, as a part of my interview with him in Sydney, Deloitte Digital CEO Peter Williams (@rexster), says:

“Generally being a firm of accountants we measure it based on how many dollars we get back and the answer is: a sh!tload.”

Without wanting to give away too much here are a couple of highlights:

3 measurables they’ve tracked:

  1. Deloitte have dropped their recruitment agent fees to nearly zero using a Facebook app called “Join me at Deloitte” they developed for their employees.

No more vacation: How technology is stealing our lives – Salon.com
I don’t feel like Rebecca Traister feels but I know I’m in the minority. When I’m gone for the weekend, I’m often actually uncontactable as I roam through mobile-coverage-free countryside. But for many people, the constant contact their laptops and smartphones provide means they’re also constantly working, constantly available. This isn’t the first time you’ve heard this, I know, but this is a very well-written and hard-hitting article. Rebecca uses phrases like “eat our lives” to describe what these technologies are doing to us.…

The Best Thing About Social Media

 0 Shares
Tweet

Living inside our secluded little web world, it is easy to forget that not everyone is sold on social media. 

I for one underestimated what normal people thought about social media. 

However it became resoundingly apparent at Bluewire’s recent “Social Media for Business” event where the sentiment from pretty much the entire audience was that they “feared people saying negative things” about their organisation.

Ironically, this is exactly the reason to get on board with social media — to actually listen to what is being said about your company!

Despite people’s apprehension, I still discussed the fact that social media can actually be your friend.…

The Last Advertising Agency on Earth

 0 Shares
Tweet

Here’s a funny and refreshingly honest appraisal of the future of advertising agencies (by an ad agency, thankfully!)

This video takes you on a hypothetical tour through the last advertising agency on earth – complete with artifacts of what the agency execs were doing at the moment of extinction!

Being part of Bluewire, I am biased as to the importance of the web, but what do you think… Will advertising agencies become extinct?  Or will they thrive?

Thanks Brett Wiskar at Speedwell for showing me this!
