Hello to the teenies…?

2010 is here and it’s hot! This is the year that I’m starting to consolidate things and am getting involved in some long-term, larger projects. Projects and clients that are really giving me the ability to flex my marketing, PR and social media ’stuff’… This is a key point

Heavy Chef - Jozi

I chatted to a couple of PR, marketing and online industry people last night at the Heavy Chef session in Johannesburg. Thanks so much to Fred and Louis for the invitation - hopefully I managed to impart some small bits of social media wisdom or at least share my
