Twitter is changing the way we watch television. We no longer sit around the television as a family engrossed in our favourite television programmes – instead we watch telly on our terms; choosing to view programmes at a time convenient to us, across laptops, tablets and mobile phones, and all in High Definition. In the [...]

Too many companies and brands are simply ticking the box when it comes to social media and potentially wasting their time and money according to Tim Gearey, managing director of Golley Slater.
It is not enough to just start a Facebook page, Twitter account or YouTube channel, these platforms are not successful unless time is spent building the content and strategy for engaging with consumers. Many companies and brands have just dived head first into social media without considering the ne...

I doubt you need this blog to tell you that social media is on the rise. If statistics are to be believed many of you are regulars on Facebook and Twitter. However, social media is not just about catching up with old school friends or watching funny videos. Simply put, it’s about people having conversations online which are powered by blogs, social networking sites, forums, message boards and content sharing sites.
The art of conversation is not new and neither is exchanging information with others. Companies have been actively involved in word of mouth marketing for years through PR. However, the increase in the use of social media allows consumers today to have much more choice about how they interact wi...
Happy New Year everyone! It’s back to business at Toon Towers and 2010 is already bringing excitement, determination and anticipation!
After our (well deserved!) rest over the festive season, we’ve come back rejuvenated and bursting (literally, at the seams) with inspiration. Last year was everything we could have hoped for, and with the new addition of Clare Rushton as our Head of Office, we aim to push onwards and upwards in...
I know the debate rages on about the worth of Twitter but, if used in the right context, it really can deliver!

Mark Schmid from TalkTalk said: “Email has been the dominant mode of communication over the internet for the past 20 years, but that doesn’t mean it always will be. “Increasingly people want to send quick, short messages reaching many people in one go, and there are now better ways of doing...
You only have to open a newspaper, turn on the TV or radio and you can bet that they’ll be a something about Twitter, Facebook or blogging. Some people get it, some struggle to see their value and some people point blank refuse to acknowledge their existence. But one thing is very certain – online is here to stay and as a communication channel, will only continue to grow.
For many companies and brands, they are standing at communications crossroads not quite knowing which way to turn? One route is a familiar and safe journey: Traditional media channels such as regional newspapers, trade journals and TV/radio. It’s safe, tried and tested and they know what to ex...
