Online & Social Media

Engaging your clients, staff, customers or shareholders and communicating to them directly is increasingly important. Online social media tools like blogs, podcasts, forums and videocasts provide huge opportunities to start a conversation with anyone that matters to your business. The online world also presents a threat to businesses that do not understand these communities or fail to monitor what’s being said about them and respond appropriately.

Alex Bellinger has a deep understanding of the online world and the new social media tools and communities that have sprung up over recent years. He is the producer and host of the pioneering podcast SmallBizPod. He also specialises in advising businesses, charities and associations on the development and production of podcasts, blogs and video podcasts as part of their internal and external communications strategies.

In September 2005 Alex co-organised the world’s first podcasting conference in London and has become a regular commentator on the business and marketing potential of podcasts. He is also one of the founding editors of Podcast User Magazine.
