A moderator’s approach to social media

We have gone a bit social media crazy – both personally and in business. As a marketer, I am bombarded daily with contrasting information about social media. One minute I’m told it will drive business through the roof, the next I’m warned about its darker side.

As a child I used to love arts and crafts. I remember contently sitting for hours and hours making cards, modelling clay, quilling, painting and drawing- anything that allowed me to express my creativity.

So where did my passion for arts and crafts go?

Marks & Spencer Shwopping poster campaign

The M&S Shwop campaign began as an internal CSR initiative that later progressed to become their biggest non-product campaign rolled out to M&S customers across the country in stores and online. The basic idea is that staff and customers donate their unwanted clothes, which are then sold in Oxfam shops, shipped to Africa for resale in local markets, or recycled to support the environment.

Now in its 3rd year it brings together parents, creatives, teachers and the local community in hosting a creative activity packed day for children aged 4 to11 at a Paddington based primary school.

Delivering ideas (and Plasticine) to clients and the community

We’re always coming up with fun and innovative ways to work with our clients on employee engagement, so our somewhat madcap use of Plasticine as a way to present a communications strategy to a new client comes as no surprise.
