Re: blur Group’s Latest Quarter Demonstrates Its Scalability

Dorothy — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 12:28:39 -0000

The difference is really about the difference between contracting people and commissioning a project. On the Exchange we're totally project-focused: our crowds are small-midsized (And some very large) service providers with proven (and vetted) expertise in delivering projects of all sizes for businesses. We're not about wanting someone for a piece of work, or to fill a resources gap. The projects are managed from brief to completion using the online platform that is blur Trading, so it's not just find and go.

There's also a size factor here - our average brief size, reflecting use by businesses, is as you can see above, over $13,000 and growing. So the Exchange is really about a different way to source and deliver projects. We think oDesk has done a great job in opening up work opportunities, but we're providing a different solution to a different problem.

Wouldn't you see oDesk as a direct competitor? What differenciates them from you?

Re: Marketing agency shopping? What sort are you?

I'll sort myself as smart shopper. Well, I am really fond shopping because I love to have new things but of course I check everything before purchasing them. I check the quality, price, everything.

Re: The Risks and Opportunities of Social Media – What Our Experts Think!

Tom Crawshaw — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 05:16:12 -0000

There is indeed massive opportunity on social media and for the first time gives customers a voice instead of the traditional broadcasting methods. With these opportunities comes a responsibility for the brand to monitor and response to feedback from customers weather good or bad. Brands needs to understand what their customer wants from their online interactions with them and tailor their content towards these needs.
Also, having a unique and authentic voice will help connect with your audience and offers a new perspective and style of conversation they can get involved with.
Although there area risks involved, negative feedback can provide the opportunity to publicly demonstrate your (hopefully!)amazing customer service!

Re: The Banning of Tobacco Branding & Advertising: What do our Experts think?

Tom Crawshaw — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 05:07:48 -0000

I'm all for the ban on branding. I remember when I was younger I would buy a pack of cigarettes based on how much shiny packaging the pack had or how cool the branding looked. Sounds silly I know, but that's what alot of younger people base their decision on. I also agree with the comment from Peter Williams below, smoking in films, in my opinion, has to be one of the biggest and most powerful forms of advertising especially for getting the younger generation involved. Many people look up to celebrities and film stars and want to be just like them, and if smoking a cigarette makes them more like their favourite celeb then that will make them happier.

Anyone with me on this?

Thank you! Glad you liked it! I think social media create great opportunities for businesses! However there are some risks as well that companies should always take into consideration.

Social media poses a huge risk to the brand, I think companies should engage a real marketer. A person with a good understanding of traditional marketing and technical savvy. At the same time these platforms have provided the best tool when it comes to customer interaction and relationship building. Great article

Re: The Banning of Tobacco Branding & Advertising: What do our Experts think?

Peter Williams — Mon, 03 Sep 2012 09:34:01 -0000

As one of your bloggers suggests, the tobacco industry if prevented from advertising via brand recognition will find new ways to promote the product. Of particular concern at the moment should be the way that smoking is made to look "cool" in the cinema. I cannot count the number of recent films where the hero/heroine has been a chain smoker, and often looking like they are struggling to actually inhale. Kristin Scott-Thomas does us a huge disservice by puffing away in Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, yet this has a PG certificate. Any film that has smoking in it should automatically have 18 as the minimum viewing age.

I've got to look through the looking glass for a second here. Your business model is very, very exciting, your achievement worthy of applause. But your marketing, promotion & design are just breathtaking... it takes one to know one... your team is hot!

Re: Twitter Drops LinkedIn Partnership: what do our Experts think?

Gene Stark — Tue, 10 Jul 2012 07:44:23 -0000

I think Sareeta and Mimosa Creations have nicely described the advantages for LinkedIn users of removing annoying personal twitter feeds from the LinkedIn updates. They also gave me a feeling that the person is not genuinely interested in
sharing the information with Linkedin users, but is simply interested in a one way message broadcast.

Guys, your website is very dull for something meant to be exciting and disruptive. It's very John Major grey everywhere! Can you inject some life and colour into your DNA?
