Well happy lovers day everyone! If you received a card and some pressies then lucky you, for those who didn’t rest assured, we still love you!

Todays Tuesday Tune Up will have a Valentines feel to it, not really deliberate – it just seems all the news has been skewed this way! Although there’s a few bits and bobs non-loving related! This week we discover some new features in Facebook (no surprise there), posting your Valentines messages on the BT Tower, various Valentines apps and a flash mob proposal – sigh, if you’re not loved up, then we apologise in advance :(   Read More…

It was doubtful this time on Sunday whether we would actually make it into work, but thankfully the snow thawed and here I am writing this week’s Tuesday Tune Up, Hooray!

It’s not just the weather that’s been making things difficult, It seems people have been getting into all sorts of trouble this week with Google being fined, a man getting arrested for a Re-tweet and L’Oreal get into trouble for air brushing (again).  Here is this weeks top marketing stories – oh and our first competition! Win a Pinterest invite….  Read More…

The cold snap seems to have gripped us again, with many people waking up to snow this morning. We haven’t seen any here in Milton Keynes yet, but the heaters are on, the puffa jackets are ready and we’ve got some cuppa soup in our emergency drawer waiting to warm us up. Last week was probably one of the busiest Fusing Creativity has seen, it’s brilliant seeing all the team whirring away and it’s also really nice to see the marketplace with such high hopes for 2012. The upturn continues to grow in our opinion, and we hope you’re part of it!

In this weeks TTU more Facebook updates and Google+ trying to keep up, McDonalds make a hash of their social campaign and Snickers cause a stir!  Read More…

Apologies for this being a little later in the day than normal! Monday was a busy one so we’re writing this actually on Tuesday for a change – so we’re sorry it’s a little shorter than normal! I don’t know about you, but we’re noticing a serious up-turn in business in 2012. Companies have clearly decided to start marketing again and it’s about time! We’ve seen a lot of businesses lose their competitive edge through lack of marketing over the last couple of years and it’s really great to start seeing business re-aligning their objectives to become closer to their consumers again – we said it in our first blog post of the year – relationships are the way forward this year…

In this weeks TTU – The BBC win the xmas social media war, Facebook unveils some new apps, VW ‘Bark wars”, David Cameron’s stance on betting ads and much more… Read More…

Has anyone been strong enough to keep up their new years resolutions? In the office, we’re still doing pretty well and with the arrival of our new fridge – we’ve even been able to fit more healthy food into it, without fighting for space, it’s been a very exciting week for us at Fusing Creativity! ;)

It seems that over the past week a lot of brands have been implementing new marketing strategies, new developments and new features. There’s a lot happening out there and we’re beginning to see even bigger movements towards increasing marketing spend, it seems businesses decided to cut marketing budgets last year and have now seen the error of their ways! Clever and well executed marketing can really keep you ahead of your competition…

Anyway, enough of the sales patter, in this weeks TTU – it’s an all online or social! Including – a ridiculous amount of Facebook updates; Google on the heels and a Youtube bringing a great new feature to video…
