Logo

The second Keynote of the day comes from Nick Holzherr who was in the final of the BBC Apprentice in 2012.

Nick over-complicated his pitch of his business plan to launch ‘Whisk’ so he knows the meaning behind simplifying things to make them better. His new business has now launched and he is talking us through how they convert people just looking at recipes into people actually buying the ingredients and cooking the recipe.

Stephen Pavlovich, the Director of Conversion Factory is moderating the session.

Lauren Pope at the Content Marketing Show

This post is part 2 of the coverage from the Content Marketing Show that took place on the 20th of November 2012 in Conway Hall, central London. As I said in part 1 of the roundup of the day, the conference was a fresh and exciting take on an content marketing, an area that has been growing in SEOs vocabulary across the last 6-12 months (if not before). It joined together people from a variety of industries and different backgrounds and also covered some thoroughly interesting and actionable points which, I know, will have left most attendees feeling far more filled in on content marketing, as well as having plenty of actionable takeaways too!

While part 1 of my round up of the Content Marketing show dealt with those presentation that I felt covered the importance and ‘power of culture and influence in content marketing’, this post will focus on those presentations that I felt were focused on the importance of content strategy for content marketing. Below are my summary of some of the great presentations, including all key points and takeaways of the day: (more…)

What Makes an Award Winning Entry

winner-2

Last Thursday the UK Searchawards were given out in London. There were a lot of winners in as much different categories. You can see all the winners here. For every category there were even more nominees: the ones that didn’t win. After all, for each category, there can only be one winner.

The judges panel on the Searchawards had some highly respected names in the (UK) Search Industry in them. We asked six of them who are close to State of Search to give us their opinions on what makes an award winning entry. So if you want to win next year, keep on reading… (more…)
