I
am a freelance speaker, journalist, broadcaster and book
author/editor specialising in social media, small business
issues and technology although I can turn my mind to a
great deal else.
I had two books out lin 2009and they are pictured below -
one is co-written with Prof. Peter Warr of Sheffield
University. My new book, "This Is Social Commerce", will be
out in December 2011. You can order/pre-order them through
these links.
In May 2011 I went to promote
the first of these in Malaysia courtesy of MPH Bookstores,
the largest book chain in the country. I was pleased to be
on the breakfast television show at NTV7, one of the
biggest TV channels there, and also did this interview on
BFM, the business radio channel:
Here is a link to a cutting
from The Star, the biggest national daily newspaper in the
country, in which I was pleased to be interviewed:

I also broadcast in the UK
occasionally. The clip below is from the BBC News Channel
in early 2011, when I reviewed the headlines with
newsreader Chris Eakin:
If you hire me I offer:
*
A clear speaking voice and confident manner if you require
a presenter. I've chaired panels
at Bafta, spoken and chaired at the Social Media World
Forum in London for a couple of years and am an
associate member of the Professional Speaking
Association.
* Clear copy delivered punctually if you're using me as a
writer
* Extensive experience in a variety of the national press
including the Sunday Telegraph, Guardian. Times, Financial
Times and Independent - see cuttings page
* Informed and
concise comment if you use me as an expert on your
programme - see the broadcasting page
* Enough organisational nous to edit and co-ordinate
multiple writers across book projects and to deliver in a
timely manner
* A media training
service for
people who want to talk to the press and gain confidence
(although if you want to add spin and mislead people
about what you do I'm definitely not your man)
...and a great deal more. Thanks for looking in, I'll hope
to hear from you sometime.
