We all use search; in fact, we are all completely and utterly reliant on search. For everything from settling barroom debate to conducting weighty desk research, over 52% of Brits confess to using search between 10 and 20 times a day. Unsurprisingly over 91% of those searches are conducted with Google*. With the recent acquisition [...]

Still in its testing phase, Google+ has not yet launched any of its specialist brand features and does not intend to do so until later this year.

We have seen the recent press coverage of Premier Foods’ million pound investment in a cross category product branding campaign.
There is an obvious recognition by Premier Foods that deals are needed in the short term to attract customer’s attention; however value building promotions are also needed to ensure the long term health of brands. Value in this sense is not simply the cheapest on shelf, but quality considered wort...
