About Us, Just for Fun

Merry Christmas


The team at SocialMediaMgr wishes you all a very merry Christmas with this fun video – have a laugh on us!

Seriously though… it has been an amazing journey over the last few months.  We’ve welcomed two new members to the team, have launched Integrated Communications – a brand new division – and have a raft of exciting projects in the pipeline.

The world of Social Media continues to change and develop apace.  Latest stats show that 70% of the global internet population are now using social media to connect with friends, family and businesses.  The big social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter) are only going to gain more following in the next 12 months with brand awareness of Facebook now close to 100%.

The good news for businesses is that 50% of social media users are already connected to brands so the opportunity to connect, engage and interact with your customers is most definitely here and now.

Have a fun family holiday and we look forward to working with you in 2012!

A Flash Mob is a true example of interactive marketing.  It’s where marketers create a really unusual experience in a really normal place, usually involving music and dance.

Obviously not the stuff of small-business marketing, but fun to watch: the power of the interaction of people and the ongoing “viral marketing” using YouTube.

This one happened just a couple of weeks ago at Heathrow Airport – it involved 500 people and was the basis of an advertisement for T-Mobile – what a great welcome home for some unsuspecting passengers!

Last year, T-Mobile also did something similar (but a bit more staged) in Trafalgar Square  which involved 13,500 people (I love the song, and the memories of London!)… Read More
