Strategic Digital Communications
Last night Strive PR hosted a Christmas party for our Isle of Man clients, associates and the media in our offices on Strand Street. Thanks to everyone who came out to make our night a great success (and quite a bit of fun!). And best wishes for the festive season to those of you who couldn’t make it. Thanks to everyone who has helped make 2008 a great year (so far!)

Twice a year we publish a hard copy newsletter, Insight, for our Isle of Man-based clients, associates and friends. The most recent issue was distributed in September with a reader competition which asked people to identify mobile tag image for what it was.
I was pleased to draw Carrick Financial’s Stephen Burdett’s name out of the hat and last week presented him with his prize…a bottle of the bubbly stuff.
Thanks to all those who took part, and anyone who wish to receive future issues of Insight, please feel free to send me your contact info and I’ll make sure you are on our list.

Last month Andy Orton, managing director of Dotperformance, an Isle of Man-based digital agency, spoke about search engine marketing.
Andy’s been in business for three years now and his firm has come to be recognised as one of the Island’s most respected digital agencies.
‘To be successful on the web it’s not enough to stick up a brochure website and hope your it meets your customers’ needs,’ he said. ‘You need to be proactive about connecting your business with people who are searching the Internet.’

I had the opportunity to meet up with a bunch of students from Ballerkameen High School in the Isle of Man earlier this week. They are taking part in the Junior Achievement company programme and wanted to learn about how PR could fit into their marketing mix. I was impressed with the quality of question and their general awareness of the importance of reputation in business. I think we’ve got a good cohort and look forward to judging later this year!
