‘pull’ – ‘push’ … not for dabbling. by Brian Wadsworth
We Bloomers consider that Social Media IS the future for (Digital) Media.
Indeed we believe that what is called by many; ‘the web’ or ‘the internet’ will soon be a social media dominated domain and marketplace; giving much more ‘control’ and influence to your audience as opposed to your ‘corporate’ office.
Being a high growth opportunity, [...]
Social Media ‘concience’ by Brian Wadsworth
Interesting commentary this last week about Facebook and their duty of care regarding private and confidential personal data.
I’ve long held the view that with these Media moguls at Google, facebook, et al making billions of dollars profit, they should re-invest some of it into disabling or at least much better management of abuse and misuse [...]

… or your most efficient and effective route to market??
As an independent business advisor and also Chair at Bloom I get a privileged ‘both sides’ perspective of the use and potential of the Internet. For many enterprises it still remains a black art/hole and I am truly mystified sometimes by the lack of understanding and [...]

This is potentially big news for our industry as the new guides address the fact that advertisers are increasingly harnessing Web 2:0 technologies and social networks for word-of-mouth marketing.

Follow the Money …or engage Warp-drive?! by Brian Wadsworth
Being a ’silver surfer’, Chairman, CEO, NED, etc., gives me a privileged position of ‘outside-in’ insight into this industry which is still highly embryonic and quite naive in some ways; occasionally exhibiting the inconsistency of an early stage teenager!
