News at Alterian
It is the small things that have made the transition from Alterian over to SDL an ever increasing reality in the last week. The green carpet samples, the updating of social profiles and the addition of more and more SDL Buddies (pictured) into the Bristol office – not to mention the planning meetings and cross-company teamwork that has been taking ...
When my colleague, Scott Briggs, presented this analogy of Social Intelligence as today’s “Moneyball” opportunity for business at Social Media Masters Tour, Toronto, I was intrigued. Not knowing much about Moneyball, (aside from Brad Pitt’s involvement in the new movie) I asked Scott to clue me in so I could share his thoughts with you: Metrics to Win In the ...
Having attended many tradeshows it is clear that iPads are the current give-away of choice. Yes, we give them away on occasion too, but has it become too predictable a prize? I can only imagine that if I were to wind the clock back, the fax machine was the prize du jour in the 90s. I understand from a colleague ...
I just returned from a few days at the DMA conference in Boston. As usual, Alterian had booth space at the show, and we also participated in the Event Triggered Marketing Solutions session, a real-time showdown with two of our key competitors, Unica and Neolane.

Being in product marketing, I need to have an understanding of what’s happening in terms of developments in the web space. I took some time to update myself with a lot ...
When is the last time you felt confident in the health of the global economy? While there has been some marginal growth over the last year, today’s financial news points to a second economic decline; whether it’s the US debt ceiling crisis or the threat of a Greek default, all signs point to a double dip recession. But don’t lose ...
Alterian recently presented two research pieces on crisis communication – cloud outages and social media driven PR crises. The conclusion in both cases was clear; when it comes to your crisis plan, you need to be proactive, and your reaction must be lightning fast. The only way to do this is tap into all of the resources available to you. ...
As a PR professional, I understand there are a few unchanging rules when dealing with a crisis.
