By now you know about Clint Eastwood’s delightful speech at the Republican National Convention. Delightful being a relative term.

For businesses, social media is a battlefield. Attention is a prized commodity and brand awareness is invaluable.

Online reputation management is vital in the professional world. Businesses, large and small, have come to recognise its importance, but private individuals are still running rampant online, forgetting that everything they say, do and upload is recorded and saved for everyone to see. The effects of this willy-nilly behaviour can be far reaching, especially with [...]

Digital marketing waters can be murky. There are some straight-up, transparent methods, which can take time and effort, and there are some not so transparent methods that cant to the side but deliver quick results – if you have a comfortable budget.

Me on the Web: it’s about as self-explanatory as it comes, really. It’s Google’s (relatively) new tool to help you monitor and control your online reputation.

Twitter is full of homophobic celebrities; at least that’s how it appears based on the number of embarrassing gaffes that have occurred recently.
