September 2011

We're very excited to announce the first Chinwag Insight conference and bootcamp, Chinwag Insight: Facebook Marketing taking place in central London on 5th and 6th Oct, 2011. And for the Chinwag audience, book early and save £100 - on the early-bird rates, too.

Facebook has an audience of over 30m registered users in the UK and 700m worldwide and with a multitude of channels and techniques to target them, what's working, what's not. The conference will look at case studies from Dell, Channel 4 amongst others as well as hearing from Facebook themselves.

Are you interested in expanding your digital business to the Far East? The massive growth in mobile, social networks, gamers and online businesses all across China and South East Asia represent a huge opportunity, but what’s the best way to find out more and harness this potential? 

Good question, glad you asked. It’s something we’ve been thinking about, too. Following the success of our Digital Missions to the US, we’re putting together plans for a trip to two of the key hubs for the region, Singapore and Hong Kong, during the last week of November 2011.

We’d love for you to tell us exactly what you want. Come along to our “Digital Mission Discussion: Asia” on Thursday 29th September from 6pm at the offices of our friends, Pinsent Masons. It’s a chance to find out more about the region and discuss the plans for the trip. 

Tricky question, huh? Trickier still when it's your job to explain it and set the guidelines for your organisation. Well, I think this video pretty much nails it in just 4 minutes and 20 seconds.

As you will of course be aware, last night was our Late Summer BBQ, with Bootlaw, Kingston Smith and Great British Chefs. It was a wonderful evening of delicious food and exciting discussion.

We're so glad so many of you could make it and it was brilliant to catch-up with you all.  Judging by the Tweets we've spotted last night and this morning, everyone had a fantastic time.
