The First Entry...

...well, here we are. 

I'm Adam Gray and all of my work is based in communications (design and Marketing rather than telephones & IP). I work with some great guys, and I think that my colleagues and I have some pretty smart ideas. We don't profess to have all of the answers, but, we can normally find a great way of making ourselves and our clients understood efficiently.

But, however much we know (or like to think we know) the world of marketing and communications is changing, and changing fast. Many of the old paradigms have been (or are being) swept away. The old channels of Advertsiing, DM, websites, brochures etc seem less and less relevant as time goes by. With Twitter (and all of its plugins), Facebook, LinkedIn, Digg, Plaxo, Blogspot, Google's many tools - and countless other social and networking applications there are a plethora of new ways of reaching-out to talk to people.

Add to this all of the different ways of accessing this Web, email, iPhone, Blackberry and Chumby to name but a few, the landscape is both crowded and confusing.

And, whilst some forward thinking clients and agencies are embracing these new opportunities, to the best of my knowledge there is no grand unifying theory about how these modules can be leveraged to maximum effect. Granted, there are loads of blogs and writers, loads of facebook communities and twibes, but everyone seems to have an opinion about some, but not all of these.

I hope that over the coming months people will use this blog to share their tips, experiences and resources so that we can all start to offer our clients a new way of talking to their clients.

Very interesting article and when you crack this e-communications thing, please let me know how to do it - you will sell it of course! Marketing and communication is changing apace, yet after 1 month I am seeing nothing arising from this new medium of blogging, social networking and following others - where am I going wrong? Very interested to understand how to make best use of blogger, twitter, facebook, etc and look forward to your article on this


If you really want to know where you're going wrong... ask yourself "why would someone follow my blog/tweets/profile?" - are you adding value, is it interesting for them, is the information changing/relevant/current...

Also, 1 month is no time at all, Rome wasn't built in a day.
