Letting an organisation’s intern see my holiday photos? I think not

By Jon on March 6, 2010

Perhaps I have a naive and simplistic approach to it, but for me Facebook Friends are actually supposed to be people, not organisations.
Hence I am automatically going to reject anyone called ‘European Federalists Secretariat‘, ‘Young Socialists Georgia‘ or ‘Abf Södra-Östra Dalarna‘.
Why is this important?
Firstly, I have no clue who actually operates these organisational ‘Friends’. Even if you very [...]

From Dahab to Place St Boniface, from scuba to espresso, how far can you take social media promotion?

By Jon on January 26, 2010

I had an hour between meetings today so called for the first time at Blomqvist’s, a Swedish espresso bar on Place St Boniface in Brussels (no website yet, but FB page is here). It was a cold January morning and the place was rather empty, so while munching my Kanellebulle I got chatting to Ulric [...]

Maybe Eurostar needed divine intervention?

By Jon on December 28, 2009

In some weird transport / religion crossover an online magazine called Communicate Jesus has done a write-up on the Eurostar mess and has linked to my post about the issue. Seems they did not notice the Atheist Bus banner in my sidebar Their article is entitled ‘Important lesson from Eurostar’ and the article [...]

I can’t be sure EZY6226 will leave tonight, but I know I’ll know (Eurostar – learn!)

By Jon on December 21, 2009

In some strange irony in these times of climate change I’ve had to abandon the green option (Eurostar) and go for the polluting option (an Easyjet flight – CDG-Bristol) to get myself to South Wales. There have been all kinds of delays to flights around Europe over the last few weeks so this route is not guaranteed [...]

The Eurostar case: learn the lessons, for this is not a good case of social media use

By Jon on December 20, 2009

We Are Social, the firm behind Eurostar’s presence on Twitter and Facebook, have written a note about their role in helping the rail company respond to the ongoing travel difficulties starting on 18th December, and continuing as I write. Eurostar ignoring Twitter, and especially @colettebalou who was stuck on one of the broken down trains, [...]

Rocking the traditional media boat

By Jon on July 9, 2009

I’ve had a few interesting experiences with what I would call the media establishment over the last few weeks, notably when asked to present the atheist bus campaign at Medienforum.NRW in Köln and at the European Communication Summit in Brussels. Köln was a panel discussion in German, while Bruxelles was a presentation followed by Q&A – the [...]

European Elections are now very much on the horizon and I’m happy to have been able to work with one MEP to create a campaign page – Swedish Social Democrat Åsa Westlund’s site went online this week, of course powered by Wordpress. The site brings together all of the different things that Åsa is doing online: content [...]

Political PR and the age of the web

By Jon on April 7, 2008

How should PR professionals use the web? That’s one of the issues I read up on in order to better advise political clients with regard to the websites I produce as a freelancer. My main starting point in the UK has been Daljit Bhurji’s blog (many moons ago Daljit and I used to write for [...]
