  • Advertising slump for media firm
    The newspaper and media group Johnston Press has reported a fall in advertising revenue since the beginning of this year.

There will probably be a very small market for it, as many of our parents generation are not web savy, plus people still like to read a newspaper in pubs/cafes at the weekend. But 20 years I reckon it will be all but gone.

Great news on the Reel Scotland site that some vintage Scottiosh short films have been featured in the British Council's Digitisation project. You can watch a few examples here. Classic stuff.

Here's a great marketing idea. Send a miniature of your AMAZING whisky, bottled in the 1950's, out to the best bloggers and whisky geeks. They then write huge articles about you. Good firm, great whisky, nice people. Glenfarclas.

Scotland's most successful contributing Crowdfund is on the home straight. It's been marvellous fun and it's not too late to contribute. Buy a brick, enter the cakepop eating competition in Edinburgh or simply take us out for a pint! All contributions, gratefully received!

Is it too late? I know a number of people who were bloody FURIOUS at the outcome of Culloden. I think she's burned her boats, she's left it a bit late!

This is for all those people who think Social Media is just a bit of a carry-on and of no real merit in the strategic building of brands. The ULTIMATE David v Goliath battle and Diageo really have turned up with a pen-knife to a social media Gunfight! This was trending WORLDWIDE on Twitter earlier. Remember, this was ONE category at a Scottish Awards dinner. Somebody's coat at Diageo is on michty shaky nail.

'Rich 'men' ' run stuff and if you don't meet them, you're just a closeted, public-sector monkey who will achieve little. Like it or not, ANY politicians in Britain (and beyond) who have done anything of any merit have always courted, if not flippin' surrounded themselves, with the great 'Industrialists' of the day. FACT. Private sector is fast. Public Sector is slow. If you want things to happen, you need 'fast'.

The hypocrisy of the opposition is as aggravating as the present Government's links to News and Trump. Like Mr Blair never had any contact and Jack McConnel didn't meet me in New York in April '06 and wasn't cock-a-hoop over "closing" the deal with Trump the day before.....
