I’ve been putting the finishing touches to some touches to some new marketing materials today, including some testimonials. Sometimes it gets hard writing about your business. How you’re great. How you do a good job. How you’re a nice company to work with who also deliver good results.
So it was nice to see a thread of conversation on Twitter, which started from someone complimenting Carrie from Simpl, one of our clients on the video we created for them. Then Shane from Gallomanor and Justin from FutureGov chipped in. Gave me a completely unprompted boost to get the marketing finished!
This kind of unprompted, public testimonial is one of the great things about Twitter. If you want help building up your Social Media presence, check out GetMeSocial.
If you want to read the conversation, start at the bottom and work your way up.

We recently did a job for the Ministry of Justice, where we took material that they shot at some of their Governence of Britain meetings, and cut it down to short sequences. You can read about the events here.
The clips are now live:

Yesterday we filmed at the eVoice conference, held in Norwich. Was a very interesting day, lots of talk about how to make eDemocracy work.
The key event, of course, was the premiere of our latest project, the CivicSurf documentary. It’s a documentary following three local councillors as they set up and run blogs to communicate with their local constituents. This will be posted online shortly.
Moving politics into the internet world seems to have a lot of success, but also can be hard to implement. More thoughts later, as we have two projects to deliver today!

Today we interviewed Tom Watson, Cabinet Office Minister, for the Blogging documentary. We seemed to spend a lot of time talking about parsnips…
The with Steve Webb, Member of Parliament for Northavon and Lib Dem Shadow Secretary of State for Environment, Energy, Food and Rural Affairs, we chatted about how he had to convince facebook that he actually was the real Steve Webb!

Today we filmed an interview with Mary Reid, who chatted about her exploits as a blogger. She’s an engaging speaker and very down to earth. I think the interview will make a great contribution to the CivicSurf documentary we’re making.

This is me on the train on the way home, having realised I forgot to take any pics while actually on the shoot. Darn.
We had a good day, though extreme winds prevented us from working outside, which was a shame. We were in Haddiscoe, a pretty little village in South Norfolk, where someone has submitted plans to create a gravel pit within a stone’s throw of an old Church. The environmental impact would be severe.

Well, we’ve got a new project just started, a documentary about blogging. So I’ve been persuade to move my blog over to WordPress. Have to say, it has not been a great start. The templates are really quite limited in terms of colours and layout. I think NC’s old Blogger one looked much slicker. It appears you have pay to tinker with the code to make it work, which seems odd. I’ve also tried to post a couple of embedded clips which haven’t worked out yet, but lets see how our relationship with WordPress develops.
Oh, and why Ducks in a Row? I’ve been spending the few weeks trying to rationalise our on line presence. Between Shutterfly, Flickrr, MySpace and Facebook, plus the personal and private versions of each site, there’s a lot of data out there. Then there’s the clips on Daily Motion, Revver… do I really have time to monitor and update all these places?
