It’s no secret that social media has transformed the way people communicate in the workplace. Internal communications developed significantly since the days of simple staff memos, emails and newsletters. Even instant messaging, support forums and intranets which represent a modern way for different offices and departments to connect seem outdated. How is social media taking over? Could be a long list but I’ll mention two examples; one, from Nokia, shows that experimenting, making and correcting mistakes, and sticking to a belief or vision pays off. The second example, from TBWA, is just so cool that makes you want to work there. Nokia is probably a pioneer as social media has a long history within the company. Back in 2001, the company launched an internal site called Jazz Cafe as a kind of informal discussion forum. This was followed by discussion forums and wikis to share expertise.

The brief was to develop a website for Unique Sports Oman, a leading sports company based in Muscat, with the sole purpose of creating awareness about the company, its subsidiaries (Ace Tennis School, BritSwim, and Teddy Tennis Oman), and key management personnel. We were also invited to come up with ideas for identity and the creation of various social media channels. After a few meetings and lots of coffees, we delivered our first 'baby', in a timely manner and under budget. The final design was clean and dynamic, with dark colours to contrast with Unique Sports Oman's lively and vibrant corporate colours. Take some time to visit their site to see the final result, let us know how we can assist you, and if you're thinking of living an healthier life, join Unique Sports Oman!
When you want to do something do it properly, with a big bang! That’s what the German Symphony Orchestra recently did in Cologne. This is a great flash mob, one of my favorites. The surprise gig began with a conductor and a trumpet player setting up in the middle of a busy square...I’ll let you watch the rest as it needs no explanation. And these are two other really cool flash mobs: ‘ insanely awesome marketing drama ’ and ‘ ninja ’.

For a long time, the buzzword in digital marketing has been content marketing. How many times have you heard the terms "Content is King," "a good content strategy," "we need a content department," or "we need to hire a Content Marketer" in a conversation? With the launch of Hummingbird, a Google search algorithm, there is now a strong emphasis on content in search. Hummingbird strengthened long-tailed keywords by focusing on content optimization rather than just keyword optimization. Do consumers, on the other hand, really comprehend what content marketing is? What's more, why and how should they be doing it? Content marketing has taken on a new identity since we began working with SEO a few years ago. It was referred to as 'link building' at its most basic level. Even though we are now in 2019, we know that link building (in its old form) is terrible because gaining unrelated and authoritative links can only hurt a site's credit
Google Street View , launched in 2007, is a technology featured in Google Maps and Google Earth and provides panoramic views from positions along many streets in the world. Google cars around the globe take photos of pretty much everything, with the result being funny, embarrassing or even dramatic at time. Here are some of the best, worst and unexplained moments captured by Google's cameras: The famous 'Horse Boy' from Aberdeen, Scotland. Very weird, from Japan. A 'quiet' village in Colombia. Can't find a caption for this... Priceless! Busted on camera! The typical women fight in Russia. A drink too many? When that time comes... Perfect timing! This is believed to be a fake. Flying? Another great moment to fall! Even crows eat pizza. Yes, very secret. Not everyone loves Google!
