- By Paul Wilkinson in AEC, blogs, branding, marketing, media, PR, technology, Twitter, Web 2.0

Just seven days before yesterday’s CIMCIG conference on Strategy & Tactics of Digital Communication, I got a tweet from Ross Sturley asking if I could step in to replace Su Butcher who had had to withdraw on doctor’s orders (which was a shame as Su always puts in a lot of time to create and deliver some great …

Moreover, potential PR and marketing opportunities were also being missed before, …
