(GBR) After keynoting the second day of the Shift Happen 2.0 Conference the other month, I was interviewed by lovely guy named Ian Aspin. This week the resulting video appeared on his Really Good Thinking blog.
Even though the context of the questions was around arts and cultural organisations, the answers I gave can be transferable across all sectors and industries:
Thanks Ian.
(WAL) We're in Cardiff at the funky offices of Cyfle, a training company for the Welsh Television, Film and Interactive Media Industry (amongst other things).
After a little orientation session with them last week we're back delivering a days training.
An excellent day of inspirational training! MediaSnackers delivered an energetic and challenging itinerary of knowledge share via creative missions that enabled Cyfle staff to fully interact with the exciting world of Social Media, whilst demonstrating the simplicity of digital tools to create stories to tell the world.

(WORLD) We probably weren't the first to apply the 'snacking' metaphor to media, although there seems to be a growing adoption in terms of describing the new media landscape—we thought it would be good to keep an eye on the growing MediaSnacking meme:
My daily ritual involves as much media snacking, blogging and social networking as I possibly can for my clients and to build own my personal brand.
Got to love Deirde’s approach.
A buffet of delicious micro-media snacks.
Get stuck in to Greg’s offering
Duncan started his presentation with a quick review of the changing media landscape and how the digitization of content is driving consumer choice. Mobile is another huge force, along with media snacking and social networking. All these things point to more power for consumers.
Sounds like a great presentation by Disney dude

(GBR) Myself and Bobbie were hanging out in London on Sunday, with Kash, Ryan and Mbali at the Street Athletics digital journalists training course—and loved it.
Being Prince’s Trust Ambassadors, they have been through a great digital media training course and found it no trouble converting their knowledge into a journalistic setting. The emphasis being, short tight edits, punchy pictures and quick uploads.
All the guys did a great job of filming, editing and blogging, and learnt the process of capturing a live event. Now it’s up to them to act as project managers for the young people that will be covering all the Street Athletics events throughout the UK.
Good luck guys, we have had a fun day—check out the video and photos below:
MediaSnackers have once again provided us with a top quality service, adding to our project and providing expert training. This is the second time we have used them and I’m happy to use them as I know we’ll continue to receive the same high level of service.
