More than 20,600 homes and businesses in the Yeovil exchange area now have access to this exciting technology through BT’s commercial plans and the CDS programme. Further work is being carried out and the current programme is expected to increase coverage to more than 22,800 premises. This is more than 97 per cent of premises in the Yeovil exchange area.
The current CDS programme expects to make superfast broadband available to around 90 per cent of homes and businesses across Devon and Somerset and to ensure that all homes and businesses in the intervention area have access to at least 2Mbps. Furthermore, the public sector partners recently obtained additional funding to further extend fibre coverage.

Who uses videos? Powerful when marketing your business. About human beings and how they react. Will watch a video rather then read text. Newspapers set in columns to consume information. Can film a video from phone and upload.
LinkedIn:
Interactive? Take 3-4 suggestions. Compliments to say well done for using these.

Not that scary – easy to put a barrier up – take a toe and dip it in the water.
Setting your audiences expectations
Key word is social
Need to be aware that a generation coming up that know no different – remember social media is just a tool. Looking at the possibilities and finding the extra time.
Photos – human love images. Good images – think a bit differently.
Facebook is still the biggest kid on the block – will Google+ surpass this by 2016 – Jeff Bullas
1.15 billion Facebook users – 23% of Facebook users login at least 5 times per day
Handout – Explain handout. There is a cool tourism workshop. Nice to go through and see how it works. Ask yourself is this for me?
Met Office as an example – What is your goal? Awareness?
Reasonably up to date – 1.3 billion. E-Consultancy, social media examiner send out regular to do. No wrong and right just do what you want to do.
Ed Millaband #rubbishtorygovernment
What sort of relationship do you want with your customers?
FB restricting what you can see – people will see 10% - boost post – better user experiences. Harder to do for free. Need to get people to comment
Share and like examples/competition – come up with compelling and entertaining content.
Content creation later on. – What are your competitors doing? Fabulous for learning.
Radio advert as an example – emotion and repetition cause memories. Have to get people to feel? Lots of story telling
Not very intuitive.
Important to understand from our users point of view.

Twitter will shrink links to 22 characters (23 with a space)
Pro’s and con’s – favourite channel it’s where I get my news.
Instagram has changed to a must have
200 million monthly active users
60 million photos posted daily – 1.6 billion likes every single day;
# are an important discovery method; gain exposure to niche groups and relevant areas of interest
young demographics

Networking tool for B2B
Initial set up was for recruitment – online CV
Nickname for LinkedIn is FB for adults
20 million active monthly users a month
Pinterest more popular than twitter
Women are four times more likely to be users than man
Bride scenario – can set up a board, search internet and then pin the photo to cork board. Stays there, not stealing anyone’s photos. Decision. Because you have pin from a website link back to that website – really important to have good images.
Second place for driving traffic to websites – helping to drive traffic. Understanding how people might be using these sites.
User, pins and boards. Search function – follow boards and people or pinners.
Permission to post on boards – need to give permission.
40/50 million users – purely mobile can view online. Still involving – Jane Sharp
Vine is a short-form video sharing service. Founded in June 2012, it was acquired by microblogging website Twitter in October 2012, just prior to its official launch. The service allows users to record and edit five to six-second long looping video clips, and to "revine", or share others' posts with followers. Some Vines are revined automatically based on what is popular. The videos can then be published through Vine's social network and shared on other services such as Facebook and Twitter. Vine's app can also be used to browse through videos posted by other users, along with groups of videos by theme, and trending videos

Good content that others will share ideally influencers……
This image demonstrates how quickly and exponentially information, advertisements, ideas, etc. can be spread by utilizing social media. It is also a great depiction of how a Youtube video can go viral, propelling its creator to fame, even it is often short lived. When applying the concept to business, it is clear how a good business idea such as Starbucks receiving customer suggestions and ideas can spread so rapidly. A good idea will spark interest and interest will lead to sharing. With so many users on sites such as Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter, the sharing occurs at an incredibly fast rate.
A recent example of this sort of viral phenomena is littlefriendsphoto.com a one man pet photography business in Los Angeles

YouGov Profiles is the new media planning and audience segmentation tool for brands and their agencies. It joins 120,000 integrated data points from over 200,000 of YouGov's most active UK panellists to give marketers a richer and more detailed portrait of their customers and the products and services they use
Background
YouGov Profiles was launched in the UK November 2014.
What is YouGov Profiles?
YouGov Profiles is the new media planning and audience segmentation tool for brands and their agencies. It joins 120,000 integrated data points from over 200,000 of YouGov’s most active UK panellists to give marketers a richer and more detailed portrait of their customers and the products and services they use.
Brands and agencies who subscribe to YouGov Profiles receive comprehensive data on their customers and potential customers. This is both proportionally significant data (what makes fans and customers of a particular brand or thing distinct from their competitors) and the more comprehensive data about the overall size of their audience etc.
The data in YouGov Profiles is updated continuously, allowing brands and agencies to assess consumer behaviour with greater granularity, accuracy, and immediacy than ever before. The product’s holistic approach to data helps brands and agencies to profile advanced segments quickly, plan more effective advertising campaigns, and formulate more relevant and targeted communications.
What does YouGov Profiles show?
It shows how every single panel member interacts and engages with traditional (TV, radio, press, print) and new media (online, social, mobile) channels. This connected data is unique to the research industry and it means YouGov clients can mine its huge seam of information in real-time and understand more about their audiences than ever before.
The information in the tool ranges from demographic and lifestyle data to consumer and brand information (such as where people shop and what type of car they own), which can be analysed against consumers’ complete media consumption. The power of YouGov’s methodology allows it to collect the long tail of personal attributes, including in more niche areas (such as their musical preferences) and more abstract considerations (such as personality type).
What is YouGov Profiler – are YouGov Profiles and YouGov Profiler the same thing?
The YouGov Profiler, free-to-use app, is a showcase for some of the more fun, consumer-friendly data on the full version of YouGov Profiles. It represents a small fragment of the information available to Profiles customers and the tool is more of a sketch than the detailed canvas available to brands and their agencies on YouGov Profiles.
Does the app show the “average” fan/customer?
No. If it did, most groups would look very similar, and you wouldn't learn a lot about the specifics of particular thing. Instead it shows what is proportionally unique about a group when it is compared to their natural 'comparison set' (for example, fans of Downton Abbey compared to anyone who has rated any TV shows).
We present the datapoints that most over-score in our target group (as measured by index/“z-scores”). So, if something is only true of 1% of the overall population, but is true of 6% of our target group, it might score very highly (and shows you something interesting and particularly true about that group). However, it does not mean it is true of all of them. For example, the results for a some particular football teams show a female character; this does not mean that most fans are female, but simply that compared to other football teams, there are more female fans of that team than you would expect.
Are some of the sample sizes on YouGov Profiler too small to be statistically robust?
If the sample says 52 people it does not mean that we only surveyed 52 people. Instead it means that among the tens of thousands of people we questioned, 52 have so far identified themselves as fans or customers of that particular brand. Although obviously the larger a sample size is the more confident you can be about the correlations, we include small sample sizes in YouGov Profiler because they can still show you a lot about a particular group.
How come Profiler suggests fans of Justin Bieber are so old?
The YouGov panel used within the Profiler app only includes adults over the age of 18. There is no teen or child component, so it just shows the profile of the adult UK population. The YouGov Panel can survey those younger and it can be done on request.
When will YouGov Profiles be available in other markets?
After the successful launch in the UK, YouGov is currently preparing to roll-out YouGov Profiles in the other countries in which it has panels so that brands and their agencies in other markets can enjoy the benefits of YouGov’s unrivalled connected dataset.

Natural window lighting usually rules the roost in professional food photography. (If you can get natural window lighting on an overcast day, then you’re even luckier). The soft, dispersed lighting usually given by natural window lighting that casts very soft shadows works beautifully with a lot of food photographs. Generally the best lighting is from the front side (ie coming over the shoulder of the photographer), but all angles of natural light can be made to work. Depending on how much light is available, you may need to consider a tripod.
Reflectors – If you want to disperse the light even more or tone down some of the shadows, then reflecting natural lighting is also high on the scale of desirability. This can be done with a purpose-built reflector or you can improvise with light coloured material (white sheets/cloths) or reflective material (foil).
Artificial Lighting – Sometimes, you’re just not going to be able to get in a position to take advantage of natural lighting. Using strobes on food is a huge topic, but suffice to say that you will often need to soften and disperse the light as much as possible with the use of soft-boxes and reflectors.
Dark Food Photography – a growing trend in some food photography is to go the low light style and a dark setting. This is more about using the dark colours of the food and its background and surroundings in combination with natural window lighting such as in the example below. It is very effective in creating mood. You can see some more amazing
