At work and tired of watching the BBC Wimbeldon video stream with the sound turned down? Then why not spend five minutes contemplating your profession and the boundaries between PR and social marketing in this short survey – link below. There’s also a chance of £20 for responders if your name is first out the hat on July 11 when the winner will be publicised with a posting on this site. All normal conditions and small print probably applies.

If a blog update is less than 140 words, does that count as a tweet?

It seems everything has gone toxic in the world of branding this week. You cannot move in PR Week (12 June) without stories of “contamination”. Hazel Blears’ ex-special adviser Paul Richards has warned that Labour’s brand is in “real danger of contamination”. Columnist Alex Aiken writes that “detoxifying a brand is a long-term operation” and editor Danny Rogers talks of “David Cameron’s ‘decontaminated Conservatives’.” Looks like we’re all going to need thick gloves and face masks from now on.

Communications statistics that are true and can be accredited to the Association of Healthcare Communicators 2009 conference:
- One new blog is created every minute
- A week’s worth of The Times contains as much information as someone in the 18th Century would have been exposed to in their lifetime
- The information created worldwide this year alone will be equivalent to the information created in the past 5,000 years.
All true, supposedly.

Just thought I’d write a quick blog posting about the Association of Healthcare Communicators – AHC – conference next week – http://www.assochealth.org.uk/Conference2009.html just in case conference presenter ‘The Internationale’ happens to mentions blogs, uses the AHC as a case study, does a blog search for people writing about the AHC, and happens to discover the PWPComms site and hence some welcome free publicity. The Internationale’s social networking presentation is always a decent spectacle so conference delegates may well wish to book for his masterclass.

Exhibition opening night
The 2009 photography exhibition at The Art Organisation in Nottingham opened this week and runs for the next two weeks. Launch night was yesterday evening where assembled guests lined up to enjoy the snacks pictures at the venue in Station Street, Nottingham, just across the road from the train station itself. Entrance is of course free and very handy for all those who have missed connections or are simply lost and want to get out of the May showers. Pictured below are guests viewing the PWP Comms’ offering.

Better get profiling. Google Profiles will soon start coming up during a search for a person’s name – http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2007/12/google-profiles.html

13 miles to go
Thank you to all my sponsors who generously donated funds to the British Heart Foundation for last Sunday’s London Marathon and to the BHF themselves for the reception at the post-race party. Starting towards the back of the field, I may not have caught the Kenyans and Ethiopians, but I did overtake Jordan and Peter Andre at two-and-a-half miles. Thanks all.
Overtaken before three miles
