The evolution of Google- how digital is driving growth Alan Pulford memorial lecture

Tim Woolias and Alex Blailkley of Google, examined Google 15 years on, how its culture and values have evolved and what its future holds. They demystified digital by focussing on the key areas of search; social, video and mobile, demonstrating how digital can be attainable to everyone. Additionally, we learnt about the evolution of YouTube as a key Google brand.

Speakers: Tim joined Google in March 2011, after more than 20 years in business – mainly in retail and more than ten of those in digital. Tim has run e-commerce in both a multi-channel environment (Comet) and in a digital pure-play environment (Warehouse Express) as well as taking a lead in online marketing at Paddy Power for 18 months. Tim is now heading a Retail team at Google with a particular focus on performance and attribution for a wide variety of retail customers.

At Google Alex is responsible for delivering meaningful outcomes with key regional media agencies and their clients across YouTube, Digital Display and Social. Prior to joining Google in November 2012, Alex worked for Sky Media, in London leading a digital team and in Manchester offering ad solutions across all platforms with clients, media agencies and creative agencies. He gained an MBA from Henley Management College whilst working at the Telegraph Media Group, throughout the transition from a print to a multi-media operation.

Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) hosted the lecture to honour the second anniversary of Alan Pulford. Alan made an outstanding contribution to marketing through his teaching, consultancy and work with the Chartered Institute of Marketing and MMU.

Weekly Post

W/C 21/10/2013

We have been extremely busy this week making sure that our clients are up to date and in the know. By contacting our client base through monthly newsletters, we wanted to really think how our customers could be better connected to A&C. We feel our clients would really benefit from using Xero to handle all of their accountancy affairs. We are extremely happy with the switch we made from Sage to Xero and we think our clients should do the same. Imagine being able to access your documents anywhere at any time in the world. Call us today and get a free demo with Paul and we will get you signed up to your new account and FREE months trial. Email Chloe at: chloe@ac-accounts.co.uk

Our marketing director Chloe has been collecting testimonials from our clients and so far we could not be any happier with the response we have received so far. It’s always good to know that we are keeping our clients happy and that they would be more than happy to recommend us to clients and associates. If you feel you want would like to let us know how we are doing we would be more than happy to receive any feedback so we can concentrate on improving for you.

We would like to congratulate Mary & Joseph House on their 50th Birthday, which was celebrated on Wednesday. Managing director Paul and client manager Mike attended the occasion and was blown away by the beautifully decorated marquee and entertaining Elvis tribute act. Congratulations Mary & Joseph House 50 years is a great achievement and something A&C aspire to achieve.

Thank you for taking the time to read this weeks weekly post.

Xero Will Revolutionise Your Business

Xero is the key to a successful future

Xero has played a huge roll in revolutionising our business. Xero’s ability to make accounting so less stressful in simple ways makes you wonder how something so forward thinking, and technically brilliant could be so simple to understand and use. We made the best business decision to make the switch from Sage to Xero, and since doing so we don’t know what we ever did without it.

Since signing up we have made the progression from bronze to silver and look to advance to gold Xero partnership soon. We are so pleased with this beautiful accounting software we decided to take the plunge in hosting our very own Xero Seminar in the heart of Manchester. This was a first for A&C Chartered Accountants as we had never held a seminar before but we just couldn’t keep the benefits of Xero to ourselves.

If you would like any information about Xero and see how Xero could help your business flourish get in touch today.
