Solicitors’ letters and their impact on the inexperienced and unsuspecting

Many people, if they receive a solicitor’s letter, are disproportionally affected by receiving such a letter. This is understandable as the letter will be written in a formal way and may contain some type of implied or express threat to commence legal proceedings on behalf of the writer’s client.

The true test of your social media marketing

One of the most powerful ways of using the social media platforms to promote your brand or business is to get other users to share your stuff. A bit like a relay race.

Video is powerful. This is something I have read, observed, and written about for a long time now. But no matter how many times I write about it I will invariably be struck again by a consultation with someone. The person, in the course of conversation with me in a consultation, will quote back something… Continue reading I’m still surprised by the stunning power of video

A remarkable statement in the Enoch Burke Court of Appeal hearing

Enoch Burke made a remarkable and absurd statement yesterday in his Court of Appeal hearing against High Court orders that were made against him in his employment dispute with Wilson’s Hospital School. He said, “The only thing the State is bound to honour by the constitution is religion,” he told the court.
