Busy

I decided a while back that the best way for us at Urban Media to tackle the current market place was to attack. So I took on two new sales-oriented guys - and boy have we been busy as a result! 

Only problem right now is persuading clients to commit to a project. Too many still seem scared to spend on marketing, when all the research shows that those who do so in a downturn, are in the best place coming out. 

Helping friends through Facebook

I'm just getting into Facebook, and the interesting thing has been getting in touch with old friends from army days. The recession is taking hold around the place, and two of them had recently lost driving jobs. 

So I was delighted when I put them in touch with a driver training company who sponsor our truck racing team, and they have both been offered new jobs as a result. The power of networks - much stronger than hanging around at the Job Centre.
