Yet More NS Excitement!

Hi From Hillington

So it’s a busy time at NSDesign – what with NEW START SCOTLAND (@NSSscotland) – which is starting tomorrow through in Edinburgh. We’ve had weeks of getting prepared for it. Well ok, not me per se, but Gary sure has! As for me, I’m looking after the office for the next few days whilst Gaz & Ken are through there.

Be out there myself this weekend though promoting our new mobile website solution! (You may have heard me talking about these….? LOL)

Then in two week’s time we’re up for seven (count’em!) awards at the RAR Awards in London. The last time we were up for awards (three different sets of awards at the end of last year) – I went out and bought four dresses. (Man, is dress shopping a bit of a depressing exercise).  Now after all that, I don’t fancy any of them, so alas I will be heading out to do it all over again!

Yes, indeed, I will go to the ball! :) Keep joking I’ll be bringing a second back to carry all the awards we win! Fun!

Back to the present though, this afternoon is a big Social Media Unleashed seminar at the Lighthouse in Glasgow.

Next week it’s the New Media Breakfast @29Glasgow and an all day seminar on the 30th too.

All this taking place before those RAR Awards. So yeah lots of NS excitement indeed.

On another note…

STORIES OF THE DUMPED:

Chapter Two – Tracy’s Story is the One About Finding Home, animated with Muvizu Software is live.

This is Tracy’s story and what a great story it is. She’s a lovely voice, some poignant remarks, and the result is an inspirational and happy five minutes (I hope) – see what you think for yourself! Make sure you “like” it won’t you?

Tis the Season……to be Dumped!

Seriously you’d be amazed how many stories used to come up on Valentine’s Day. It’s always a time we get press mentions as you might have guessed.

Today I woke up to a DM on Twitter from the lovely David Locket to say he’d heard me on Radio Clyde this morning. Wah-hey!

Last weekend I visited my former Q96 colleague Gillian Wheelan there to talk about being Dumped near Valentine’s Day. I can’t say it’s ever happened to me, thankfully, but I once was the dumper near then. Tut Tut. I know I should have waited until after (silly me) but he’s forgiven me so all’s well.

At the moment you can hear the blurb on Clyde 1′s site. Seems they’re airing snippets of me on the top of the hour news today.

Just heard myself on the 11am news….where I croaked out words that you can’t compare pain. It was funny actually!

How lovely is being featured hourly? If only my first of the So You’ve Been Dumped Stories were launched this week, instead of next, at least I’d benefit from the fantastic coverage…

Oh well. PR is nice at all times.

I think there is another piece likely due in the press here any day now as well – about our new soyouvebeendumped.mobi site – “pocket support” as I like to call it. :)

And another exciting VDAY project with the lovely folks at Muvizu -which  I think we may have LIVE for you soon too!

So yes, as you may have guessed it’s the “busy season” for me with respect to So You’ve Been Dumped anyway.

Rather looking forward to this weekend and Valentine’s Day too.  Makes a nice change!

It’s a beautiful, spring-like day today though – which makes everything seem better. More optimistic. More promising.

Have a great day – I am off to complete the first of the So You’ve Been Dumped Stories.

Be wonderful if we launch it on Monday.

Sort of poetic really! Fingers crossed. Check back next week!
