Simon Wakeman’s presentation at PSFBuzz North East

July 9, 2009 by Ian Cuddy 

Here’s the slides from our first speaker of the day, Simon Wakeman, Medway Council’s Head of Communications.  Simon talked about the impact of social media in local government, highlighting some examples of the work Medway has been doing to engage people online with Facebook, Twitter and podcasting:

Social media - a revolution in local government communications


[Update] Jack Pickard has blogged a great post about  Simon’s talk here.  And Sarah Lay of Derbyshire County Council has also blogged her notes for the session. Thanks Jack and Sarah!

If you’re interested in the public relations angle, have a look at Simon’s slides from the presentation he gave immediately afterwards  to the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) North East group.
