Growing competition and so many choices for search marketing, web design, and ISP services mean you need to stand out from the crowd if you offer these services.

The aim is to both attract and sustain business therefore sending a strong message, reinforcing your presence within the marketplace is essential.

The present economic climate dictates a level of due diligence within every business model and often forces you to make some very difficult business decisions sooner rather than later. Diversification and flexibility are the name of the game, in our case focus on extracting value from innovation.
Bronco, has seen great growth in recent months with new members of staff coming onboard. Dan Mcskelly for one in the SEO team joined at the start of September and you may have seen some of his posts on this blog.

Some of Bronco’s most satisfying projects to date are where we are involved in the total web design and development of a site, which leads onto successful SEO, so really it only seemed fair that the Bronco website itself should get the same treatment and thanks to another member of the Bronco Team, Kean, the transformation has taken place. Personally, I think the key to the success of the business is the level of teamwork that goes on and the interactivity between members of staff.

“Full service” agency Mindshare have launched a re-brand this week and are taking flak for an unnecessary and expensive redesign. This wouldn’t be at all unusual but in this case the criticism is coming from other West End agency chiefs rather than those of us in the trenches who boggle at spending quarter of a million on a couple of coloured circles.

We’re used to statements such as “The flow of colour symbolises the flow of creativity across the business and the segmentation mirrors the bringing together of specialist expertise within Mindshare’s ‘open source’ approach to client business which enhances a platform neutral approach” being applauded by brand pseuds, but when the people you share Cristal and a certain other C product are laying into you with comments like “I am really struggling to see the point of this” you know you’ve had your nose in the trough a bit too much.

Still, we’re used to seeing this kind of nonsense and wouldn’t pass comment if it weren’t for the fact that Mindshare recently launched an SEO division, headed up by Carolyn Watt who commented “It’s no longer about building a site or technology, it’s about positioning brands in the digital space”. Well sorry Carolyn, but there’s still some elements of building a site that are important for SEO, and not replacing your entire website with a single GIF is one of them.

Does Mindshare’s SEO division have any voice in the company, or was this done with their blessing? Either way it’s hardly what you’d call best practice (though probably no worse than their previous flash based site) and goes to show that big brand agencies aren’t always the best choice when it comes to specialist services.

In the interests of fairness and balance I did try and find out some more about their SEO services on their other website, www.mindshareworld.com, but gave up the fourth time I got an internal server error.

During the taping of Wednesday’s show  Letterman told the audience that McCain had called him personally to say sorry for not showing up he couldn’t appear because he was going to the airport to get back to Washington. hmmmLetterman found out that McCain was giving Katie Couric  just a few blocks away at the CBS News headquarters a last-minute exclusive interviewhere is the Letterman and Mccain video that went out :

But is it really that bad Letterman or CBS news ?? ( I wouldn’t have let Letterman Down if I thought he could find out lol )DaveN
