When I was at the Guardian Activate Conference last year in 2010, the Virgin Media Pioneers team had some nifty promotional and marketing material for us to hand out – something which really embodied the idea of the network: a sunflower.

We had literally hundreds of these in boxes with just as many postcards, and at the start of the day they weren’t flying out as was hoped.

The First Virgin Media Pioneers Network Member To Comment on The First “Pioneers TV” YouTube Video:

It may seem trivial, but we know that successful social media engagement relies on contact – transparent, honest, genuine contact and feedback on posts.
As a film maker, it was only natural for me to comment on any YouTube video I see,and in this case, unknown to me, it was the first Virgin Media Pioneers video on their YouTube page, for a new series called “Pioneers TV”, and this consequently got me a mention in the blog of the day on Wednesday 9th June 2010. (thank you!)
