Do you ever forget your manners online?

in Social Media

Kevin Bloody WilsonI would be lying if I said that my behaviour online was completely reflective of my offline behaviour. To be honest I do not think it is possible to behave in the same way online and offline effectively as the circumstances are so different.

But manners remain incredibly important and I think that it is something which is frequently overlooked.

Traditional Retention and Recruitment Marketing split is finished

Traditional Retention and Recruitment Marketing split is finished – That’s quite a statement and one that perhaps many marketers will disagree with. However, I didn’t just make it up for fun; here is my thinking behind this: One of my first marketing roles back in 2005 was within the retention marketing team of an organisation. It was a membership organisation and I was responsible for selling training courses to the existing members – hence it was a retention activity. I [...]
