Nicholas Roope from Poke London will be a guest contributor in the conference session Marketing 2.0 = Content 2.0.
Poke London are one of the most acclaimed digital marketing agencies in Britain - but they are also rare in the agency landscape for their advocacy of Web 2.0 marketing techniques.
And in this period of agency aquisitions they remain independent.
Clients include Boots, Orange, Yahoo! and Top Gear.
Poke also took part in the recent BBC Innovation Labs.
Nicholas is Poke's Creative Director, but he's also the brain behing Hulger - a side project of reconditioned landline receivers that you can plug into you mobile or computer VOIP connection that's been a runaway success.
He spoke more about Hulger and how small fashion deisngers and labels can use blogs and online communities for marketing at a recent NMK event Fashion Through A Digital Lens.
Finally, the top geezers at Poke are avid bloggers themselves, personally and professionally! Great to see marketing practitioners practicing what they preach, and not in the over-earnest blogging tradition ;-)

This is also almost unheard of in the UK. Off the top of my head only one other UK digital agency that blogs springs to mind - the search marketing specialists Latitude.
That seems a sad but predictable state of affairs. But should we expect agencies to blog when the digital recruitment shortage is back with a vengance and they have work coming out of their ears?
