IMS_Ibiza

We’ve just returned from what we believe to be the best International Music Summit conference to date. The event excelled itself from last year with regards to the list of delegates, speakers, and panel subjects.

It’s the only electronic music conference where the best in the industry all come together to talk, well… business, which is why the event’s tagline ‘back to business’ is so very apt. This is not a big party in Ibiza, this is about people coming together to share ideas, make new contacts, engage with existing ones, and to come away feeling invigorated about our industry. The Grand Finale held at the stunning setting of Dalt Villa, with Pete Tong, Mark Ronson, and Buraka Som Sistema was yet again an example of quality and originality from the events organisers.

The conference provided an invaulable platform to launch our new Burn Studios project to a group of enthusiasts and professionals allowing us to gather on-the-spot feedback. And our IMS iPhone App built by our company Scribble received hundreds of downloads and much positive feedback.

Myself and Poker MD David Mitchell met a load of faces old and new. We’d be delighted to hear from you all again so please get in touch.

Following Fridays excellent meet up, as part of Social Media Week London, on the subject of Social Media Measurement and Monitoring, the question stands, why is there not a tool to manage multiple social media campaigns that also gives you the ability to run analytics on each of the campaigns at the same time?

Are the vendors and developers missing out here, or are they not listening to what we need? With many clients on the books Poker PR, along with many other, are crying out for a platform that allows the user to not only post content to multiple sites but to track who is commenting on, retweeting or sharing our content and what the sentiment develops around the subject matter.

Social media is still a new and exciting form of media and the tools that exists around it are improving week in week out, it is only a matter of time until a combined management and measuring tool becomes available and when it does we at Poker will be one of the many agencies ready to snap it up.

As we have been saying for a while now at Poker PR, the world of music and how we listen and purchase is changing.

Spotify and Pandora have changed the way we do this. Now iTunes, leaders in music downloads are rumored to be launching a streaming service to compete in the market.

twitter_128x128 How things “change”… (Top Word of 2008) The Global Language Monitor has announced that “Twitter” is the Top Word of 2009 in its annual global survey of the English language. The survey examines the internet, the media, and an electronic database to estimate how many times certain topics are brought up.

Founder Paul Payack said: “In a year dominated by world-shaking political events, a pandemic, the after effects of a financial tsunami, and the death of a revered pop icon, the word Twitter stands above all the other words.”

This is great new for us at Poker, especially the social media department as this is proof, if needed, that Twitter continues to head up the portals for news and information.
