Australian social media usage vs BCM

By Pete Luetjens on 28 Nov 2008

Forrester’s Social Technographics research is without doubt the most well-known classification of social media activities worldwide. Even if you’ve never heard of Forrester, you might have seen these terms before (in the image above) – Creators, Critics, Collectors, Joiners, Spectators and Inactives.

Will you be a Freeview convert?

By Pete Luetjens on 27 Nov 2008

Freeview is just around the corner. Reading the assorted press releases and news about its imminent launch, you might wonder what all the fuss is about.

Offline media, online success

Offline media, online success

By Pete Luetjens on 26 Nov 2008

One of the best things about my role as interactive strategist is learning about the interesting relationship between offline media and traffic to online sites. Put simply, some offline media drives traffic very effectively, some has no discernible impact at all. TV, perhaps unsurprisingly, can work magnificently. We have seen first-hand at BCM the impact a [...]

Writing emails for success

By BCM Partnership on 19 Nov 2008

It was great to have the opportunity to discuss two things I’m passionate about recently at the Email Marketing Summit Australia (EMSA): email marketing and US politics.  I’m sure I was just one of many US expats glued to their computers that Wednesday watching the final presidential election results come in.  Given the way that [...]

Facebook will be OK

By Pete Luetjens on 13 Nov 2008

Yeah, yeah there’s a technology fuelled revolution going on in the world of marketing and communication. Unless you’ve been living under a rock you know all about it. The trade press headlines all scream similar themes, ‘The consumer is Control’, ‘Impending Death of traditional Media’ etc. Even the most conservative marketer is responding by insisting [...]
