When higher tuition fees were introduced in 2010/11, the number of students enrolling in universities in the UK dropped by 12 per cent. It can therefore be easy to assume that, of those that choose to attend, their main aim is to go to university in order to attain an excellent degree that will earn them a high-paying job.

Facebook have been fighting with Google for as long as we can remember to be the cool brand. They’ve tried commercials with chairs, they’ve tried making sponsored stories their premium service to brands but they still haven’t gotten over the hump.

Facebook ruined Instagram! Or at least some would say. You may have seen that when you post from Instagram and share to Twitter, it no longer shows up on your Twitter feed as a photo. It’s now just a cold link and doesn’t populate your photo feed either. Most disappointing!

More and more we are seeing that online social networks are beginning to reflect networks which have formed in reality. In real life networks the most successful and fruitful business relationships (and relationships in general) are those which have been introduced via social referral.
It’s that time of year again. Yes with Christmas around the corner, companies go into marketing overdrive and we see an array of effective Christmas adverts crop up every year, all of which aim to get us in the Christmas spirit.
One of the things that makes Christmas marketing so different nowadays is the fact that social media can play a big part in aiding the Christmas marketing process with a number of companies having a strong presence on Facebook and Twitter. This means that as well as having the advert we have all come to know and love, we have a further drive when we log into our social networks.
