8 Top Lizard Marketing Tips - #linchpin #llbs - Are you in?

Since reading Linchpin I have given a name to my pain – ‘Lizard Marketing’. My goal is for you to think, it is better you read this than we talk about you when you leave the room. If you ever catch me doing this you are welcome to pull me up, even if you don’t know me. Of course I have NEVER done any of these things (cough). 1.       The Lizard Marketer can often be seen scurrying in early to networking meetings to put all their flyers on the table.

#superswarmldn - Check in and Check up!

'I don’t understand foursquare, I mean why would you want people knowing where you are all day?’ This is how a lot of conversations go, before that people complained about twitter and me tweeting ‘I’m on a bus’, ‘going to the gym' or even at the doctors.’ You know what, maybe they are right and I should let them go home to their television sets and watch some more re-runs.

The London Team Part 2 with extra weight

Getting the backing from the community on such a project has been so pleasing, so many good comments and well wishes has made this a joy to work on, but getting the message out to London is a tough challenge you need the heavy weight of our social space to help with this If only we had the massive support of @LDN and @Londonist.  In my view the 2 social goliaths of this city.  Well not only are they BOTH supporting the London superswarm attempt but are fully partnering with us to make sure we sp
