Whilst the news is full of stories about companies closing and making redundancies, one business in Hampshire, Splice Marketing, a leading internet marketing company, which specialises in e-commerce and lead generation websites has bucked the trend in grand style.

Splice Marketing were announced as winners of the prestigious Europe and Middle East Business Excellence Awards, for the fastest growing company with under 10 employees, at a glamorous “academy awards style” event in Berkshire, where approximately 100 businesses were represented. They were also named as finalists in another category.  

There are many reasons why you may have chosen to exhibit at a Business to Business (B2B) exhibition, such as Business South. These include raising your profile, making sales, launching a new product or new service as well as giving you an opportunity to network.

In today’s business environment social media networking is a vital additional component in any marketing mix. 

Today the UK media are talking about the English version of WikiPedia being down in protest against the SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) legislation that may be passed in America.

SOPA is not just an American issue but has huge international ramifications that go much deeper. SOPA will potentially affect all businesses and organisations that have a website, use social media (including YouTube, Facebook and Twitter), blog sites such as Posterous and Tumblr or bookmarking sites such as StumbleUpon.
