AM Conference 2010: Discovering a New DNA of Marketing Academe

July 10th, 2010

Well this weekend ends a very busy and insightful week. On Monday I made my way to Coventry for the 2010 Academy of Marketing (AM) Conference being hosted by Coventry University Business School. The theme of the conference was ‘transformational marketing’ – the role of marketing in driving organizational, social, community and environmental change. So I was hoping to see a few papers talking about digital media in marketing driving this type of change. » Read more: AM Conference 2010: Discovering a New DNA of Marketing Academe

Digital Media Literacy in Business, Media Management & Marketing

June 23rd, 2010

1CEMFH Last week I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with DK, Mark and Karl from Mediasnackers, facilitating a Business Development workshop for them. At this workshop we discussed the What, How and Why Mediasnackers do what they do. It was a great afternoon, but not only did Mediasnackers walk away with some insights into their evolution, so did I!

The afternoon inspired me to reflect on the very same questions for what I do, the reason I started CASE Insights and found myself leaving the commercial marketing research sector for academic research and teaching. Reflection I haven’t done for a couple of years and given how difficult it can be juggling teaching, research, administration, marking, supervision and life … I thought it was increasingly important to revisit these questions! » Read more: Digital Media Literacy in Business, Media Management & Marketing

DML2010: In reflection!

March 1st, 2010

question-mark In an earlier post at the beginning of DML2010, I recalled a number of questions raised for reflection throughout the conference and from this I added a fourth. However I heed the onus from Sonia Livingstone that perhaps we are asking the wrong questions and from her talk, a number of the questions/statements she raised [that I tweeted] I include here – as reflections from my DML 2010 experience (and no doubt clouded by my own societal and institutional influences). » Read more: DML2010: In reflection!

DML2010: Sonia Livingstone on Youthful Participation in Digital Media

March 1st, 2010

84782290 A few weeks ago while on a visit to the US, I attended the ‘Digital Media Learning‘ conference in San Diego. The closing key note was given by Prof. Sonia Livingstone from London School of Economics (LSE).

The conference itself opened my eyes to a number of things, one important thing is that we need to always remember the interdisciplinary nature of this field. Without an open mind and participation in conversation and sharing, often the perspective from which we approach digital media learning can cloud and sometimes blind us from anothers view of this space. As adults researching this space, our view of the world is very different from those we research and observe – be it child, young adult in HE or those engaged in lifelong learning. But from each other we can certainly share and learn.

Prof. Sonia Livingstone provided one of the best talks I’ve been fortunate to listen to in this space, and like Henry Jenkins and S.Craig Watkins, made me think. From her talk, » Read more: DML2010: Sonia Livingstone on Youthful Participation in Digital Media

DML 2010: Henry Jenkins on Diversifying Participation!

February 19th, 2010

participation

Tonight in the Chair’s introduction to the DML 2010 conference, Dr. Henry Jenkins posed some interesting insights into what is emerging and what we are facing when it comes to Digital Media Learning …asking the delegates to consider more widely diversifying participation in learning communities …

From this introduction I tried to capture a number of key insights … a colleague and friend of mine, DK from MediaSnackers, a social media organisation specialising in engaging youth-based organisations, once spoke that he endeavours to make people either ‘think’ or ‘smile’ from his talks, meetings or conversations. Well tonight Henry Jenkins … most certainly made me think …

Below are a number of the key insights I took out of Henry Jenkins talk … » Read more: DML 2010: Henry Jenkins on Diversifying Participation!

If a picture says 1000 words – how do YOU see Marketing?

January 14th, 2010

If I say the word marketing – what do you think of? What image comes into your head? Who do you think of?

We are creating a story of how people REALLY see marketing – not in words, but in pictures!

I’ve been asked to give a presentation entitled Marketing for a public presentation on the 25th of March at Chapter, in Cardiff. So, I want to build a presentation about how YOU see marketing? Not how I see it.

This presentation is not a usual academic lecture about research, case studies, or the state of Business Schools or higher Education in the UK (How Boring!!). This is far more interesting. It is for the first ever Pecha Kucha Night in Cardiff … so I want to do something a little different. » Read more: If a picture says 1000 words – how do YOU see Marketing?
