social media training and consulting

The social media phenomenon that brought us Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and YouTube is still relatively new in Australia, but it has permeated society extremely quickly. Here are some stats that will astound you:

Over 45 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube every minute.
Dell claims to have made over $3 million in sales via its Twitter posts alone between 2007 and 2009.
There are currently over 500 million registered users on Facebook
It took radio 38 years to reach an audience of 50 million people - it took Facebook just two years.
Wikipedia launched in 2001 and now has over 13 million articles in more than 200 languages. Despite its 'distributed authorship', it has been proven that Wikipedia is more factually correct than the Encyclopedia Brittanica.
There are over 31 billion searches on Google every month. In 2006, this figure was 2.7 billion.

Increasingly, it is becoming important for business to understand and employ these new technologies.

From Lieutenant Colonel Malcolm Wells, Senior Career Advisor, Directorate of Officer Career Management, Australian Army, Canberra ACT

I recently engaged Clayton to deliver a training seminar on social media technology and web based career portals for my team who provide career management of Australian Regular Army officers. Clayton's product was outstanding. He had thought deeply about the subject, and his training was specifically tailored for the needs of my team. His deep background in Government, coupled with his industry leading perspective on employing social media to support business made him perfect for what I was seeking. I would recommend him as an expert trainer and consultant on integrating web 2.0 technologies into existing businesses and government departments.
