Finland gigs

(FIN) Today I'm crossing another country off my list and delivering a couple of gigs at Laurea University, Finland.

I have the honour of presenting a lecture to a several groups of students and their professors on the impact of social media. Then in the afternoon I'll be working with the internal marketing team on thier specific use of social media and the opportunities it affords.

Thank you for delivering us an interesting and inspiring presentation and discussion afternoon on social media. The event was very successful one with about 60 participants varying from students to teachers and other Laurea’s staff. All the feedback I have received afterwards has been highly positive. I can strongly recommend you for any organisation and hopefully we will have a chance to use your services again the
future. All in all, a very thorough and professional day but with a refreshing approach.

Theatre and social media

(WAL) Today we’re delivering a days training to the good people of Arad Goch, a small theatre in Abersytwyth, West Wales.

The aim is simple:

to widen their social and digital media skills. It’s to a small team here but we aim to have fun plus leave a legacy of social media exploration and use.

A local speaking gig

(WAL) This morning I'm literally down the road from where I live and speaking at the Multiplatform Symposium 2010 event for creative industries in Wales, organised by Cyfle.

My role will be to introduce and explore how social media fits into all this.

Cyfle would like to say a big thanks to DK for being a fantastic speaker at our event. The audience response to the session has been very positive, they certainly learnt a lot of new things and enjoyed the opportunity to network and chat about how social media could be much more than just a hobby. Looking forward to working with MediaSnackers again in future.

What we really sell

(WORLD) We don't deal in social media.

Seriously.

It's not the thing we focus on.

Sure our tagline says "We're the go-to guys for companies and organisations who want to understand & effectively use social media"… pretty snazzy, eh? But here's the big fat dirty truth :

We're in the change business not the social media business.

Social media is the range of tools we use to create benefit and value—to make things cheaper, quicker, better.

Like Bowie said, turn and face the strain guys—because it is a strain. Change is the hardest thing hardest thing to create and to peddle (but it's the only thing that matters).
