Despite the erratic weather conditions, it was great to see a few familiar faces at last night’s “Social Media: The Death of Print?” debate. Drew Benvie, Mick Fealty and Simon Nixon made up the panel and spoke with enthusiasm around the issues of social media and PR. I finally managed to meet a few people in the flesh that I have been following online for some time, and some new faces like Ben Matthews, who only started blogging a couple of months ago. With agencies knocking on my door all the time to find social media experts (of which there are few) it’s reassuring to know that PRs are embracing blogging and social media. Those that really cotton on can carve a real niche for themselves in the market. Ged Carroll has done a great job of creating a run down of the event which you can read on his blog.

Hi Sarah,
Nice to meet you last night - it's good to finally turn some online contacts into real world ones!
Thanks also for the good discussion on social media and careers in the PR industry in general.
You'll have to let me when those agencies knocking on your door are looking for someone like me!
Kind regards,
Ben
