Do you need leads? Inbound marketing is NOT a panacea
By Rebecca Caroe Tuesday May 1, 2012
One of the buzz marketing phrases doing the rounds is “Inbound Marketing” and we find that many brands and businsses hope inbound marketing will fulfil all their hopes for new enquiries and drive up the sales funnel effortlessly.

By Rebecca Caroe Wednesday April 4, 2012
Recently I’ve become very conscious of images as part of the brand mix online and offline. There are brands who create visual icons – take a look at my ‘Marmite’ Pinterest board created for a client celebrating the fact that New Zealand has run out of Marmite(!)- true story. And so I think we’ve changed [...]

By Rebecca Caroe Monday March 5, 2012
This week I’ve been invited to two separate new business apps to try out and both have been a disappointment. Talent.me A Facebook app that sets out to connect you to business partners.

By Rebecca Caroe Tuesday February 14, 2012
There’s been a profusion of interest in the new(ish) social media site, Pinterest – see my boards .
