I’ve often wondered how much business our events generate. We’ve certainly picked up new clients as a result of our conferences and our speakers too are regularly approached by delegates looking for the benefit of their expertise.
Social media still remains one of the hottest conference topics around, rapidly evolving and presenting communication opportunities and challenges for organisations who often need guidance in an online world. Now there’s a new name we’re very pleased to recommend to anyone who’s looking for informed, intelligent advice.
3W PR is an online communications consultancy launched today by Stephen Davies, the man behind PRblogger.com, one of the world’s leading PR blogs.
We originally met at the University of Sunderland’s ‘Making the News’ conference, one of our first events as Don’t Panic and also the UK’s first ever event on social media. Little did I realise at the time how significant and influential this event would turn out to be.
Stephen was in his final year studying PR and had been drafted in to help out on the event reception desk. I remember his warmth and charm as well as his constant disappearances to catch presentations by the likes of Neville Hobson and Tom Murphy. Despite his unsuitability for event work he already had a reputation as being the one to watch.
Following his degree, no one was surprised to learn he’d landed a dream job at Edelman or that he was subsequently poached by Frank PR before deciding to head back home to the North East to work for webitpr.
Over the years we’ve had the good fortune to get to know Stephen and have the pleasure of him speak at our events. His passion for online PR and the shock of the new has always been self evident and we just want to wish him luck with 3W, a company which promises to redefine the role of public relations in an online world.
So if you’re looking for assistance with a social media strategy, online reputation management or new ways to reach your audience do get in touch with 3W, you won’t be disappointed.
