At the moment, I am finishing up an MBA at the University of Edinburgh Business School, and the last stage of this process is writing a <a href=\"http:\/\/randallhelms.com\/about-the-dissertation\/\">dissertation<\/a>. I am looking at how consumer goods (or FMCG) brands can best use social media to engage with customers (particularly their core customers). As part of this process I have been doing a blog (somewhat intermittently) for the last couple of months where I have been discussing the issues raised in my research. If you are at all interested in the subject, it&#8217;s worth having a look.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, for the last few months I have been on Twitter using the alias <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/sonicrampage\">@sonicrampage<\/a>. Mostly I use it to post links to music-related stuff, whether mixes, tracks, or interviews, but I also talk a bit about other stuff. If you are interested, please follow me!<\/p>\n<p>On Facebook there are two ways to connect, firstly through my group <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/?ref=logo#!\/group.php?gid=8186479625\">Pearsall&#8217;s Mixes<\/a>, which now has more than 140 members. More recently I&#8217;ve added a second option, which is to become <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Pearsall\/131001660267436?ref=mf\">my fan<\/a>. I use Facebook mainly for sending out updates about new mixes; occasionally I might use it for other purposes, but don&#8217;t worry, if you sign up to either, I won&#8217;t bombard you with spam!<\/p>\n<p>Finally, in the last two weeks I have set up <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mixcloud.com\/pearsall\/\">an account<\/a> at Mixcloud, which is an online streaming music service. I&#8217;ve only uploaded a couple of mixes so far, but as you can see from the number of plays I&#8217;ve gotten, it&#8217;s not exactly been a success so far! Anyways, it&#8217;s always worth trying these things, and if I want to make it work I&#8217;ll need to rethink my strategy.<\/p>\n<p>I guess a better avenue of self-promotion would probably be YouTube, but since I know nothing about making video, that&#8217;s not a path that I&#8217;ve actively pursued. Having said that, if you are experienced with making video and want to collaborate on a project for YouTube, drop a comment below and I&#8217;ll be in touch, since I&#8217;m curious to see what impact (if any) it would have on the site.<\/p>\n<p>So there you go, lots of ways to connect with me across the web! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are loads of ways to connect with me across the net, so I thought it might be useful to round them up into one post.
