This is my first blog and already I’m cheating.  The clever and helpful people at Word Press have assumed that I’d love to entitle my first blog “Hello world” and I have to give them credit – I couldn’t think of anything better myself so have kept the default title –  I guess it’s an apt start.  So, Hello world!

There seem to be an awful lot of people jumping on the viral marketing bandwagon lately.  I’m a bit of a cynic at heart and think that you should take leaps in online technology with a pinch of salt.  So it’s not that I’m slow on the uptake with Twitter, Facebook and the rest, rather I  think you should adopt the best types of marketing (online or offline) for your business and one size definitely does not fit all.  There’s no substitute for being measured and intelligent rather than trying to be down with the kids. 

I guess I’m trying to say that it’s important for your business to say “Hello world” in meaningful, powerful and appropriate ways – by running a Creative Agency I help people do that and it’s fun.

Some arse asked me to follow him on Twitter today.  He was a typical old-school business coach hawking a cacky and archaic business coaching book that we might have used here to keep the window open when it was hot last week (where is the sunshine?) – his message wasn’t right for the medium – he forced the issue that he had something to say and I switched off.

I think it’s really important to have something to say and something to give.  So here’s my blog I hope that I can give some genuinely useful ramblings and I’m glad that you’ve read this far.  I also make no apology, that from time to time, I will be giving some shameless plugs to the Graphic Design and Website Design Agency Brighter Creative.
