After I wrote yesterday’s post I sent I communicated with Rob Stokes via Twitter and I got an immediate response, first from him and then his colleagues. They promptly responded and I am much happier for it! Thanks Rob and thanks to Quirk. Hope I didnt cause too much damage to you in terms of ORM.

Here is why I want to work with Quirk:

• I like their newsletter. I have been subscribing to it for a while now, 2+ years maybe, and I love the approach and the feel of the newsletter. Its informative, and they have a few quirky ways of saying things.
• I loved the emarketing seminar I attended.
• They are a progressive and innovative company, SearchStatus and BrandsEye come to mind.
• They give away a free ebook!

I attended the Quirk Breakfast from Module 1 to Module 6, but sadly missed out on Module 4. Rob Stokes presented the majority of the modules, except module 5 or 6, can’t quite remember. A lot of the focus in each of the modules was aimed at everything relating to social media and Web 2.0 and how to optimise your web site or how to incorporate Web 2.0 into your current web development strategy. The lectures also had a build up towards Online Reputation Management (ORM) for which they have developed a tool called BrandsEye. They have also now released a book, an e-marketing book written by Rob Stokes titled Quirk textbook: eMarketing – the essential guide to online marketing. Its a 300 page book aimed at marketing practitioners as well as 3rd and 4th year students.
